Tóm tắt

The sand accumulation on a flat plate in flows around a near-wall circular cylinder has been mainly investigated by the method of numerical simulation at the sub-critical Reynolds number1200 (based on the diameter of the circular cylinder) and the gap ratio G/D (ratio of the gap between the circular cylinder and the plane wall to the diameter of the circular cylinder) 1.0, 0.5 and 0.25. The standard k− ε turbulent model and the vorticity-stream function formulation are adopted to analyze the wake characteristics. The lift and drag coefficients of the circular cylinder and the pressure pulsation on the wall are solved. The simulation of streak-lines for the flow visualization and PIV experiments are detailed carried out to analyze the sand accumulation phenomenon on the plane wall, and a possible mechanism has been proposed. Results of the numerical simulation indicate that the effect of the cylinder results in flow separation from the plane wall. Separations occur about 1 to 2 cylinder diameters behind the cylinder, where the particles in the flow near the plane wall accumulate gradually.
