tory flow about cylinders at supercriticalReynolds numbers.

INTRODUCTION

The design of structures for the marineenvironment requires the prediction of the forcesgenerated by waves and currents. Much of thepresent knowledge has been obtained by means ofmodel tests at Reynolds numbers generally two tothree orders of magnitude smaller than prototypeReynolds numbers. These model tests have reliedheavily on the so-called Morison formula forexpressing the force as the sum of a drag andinertia force. The values of the drag and iner­tia coefficients to be used in the Morison equa­tion became the subject of many experimentalstudies in the last twenty years. The correla­tion of these coefficients with the relativeamplitude of the waves (or the Keulegan-Carpenternumber) has been generally inconclusive.Furthermore, lift forces which are associatedwith vortex shedding have received relativelylittle attention. It thus became clear that muchis to be gained by considering plane oscillatoryflow about cylinders at high Reynolds numbers inorder to isolate the influence of individualfactors such as relative amplitude, Reynoldsnumber, and the relative roughness on vortexshedding and resistance. It is with this reali­zation that the present investigation was under­taken and the preliminary results obtained with

96 IN-LINE AND TRANSVERSE FORCES ON CYLINDERS IN OSCILLATORY FLOW OTC 2533

smooth cylinders in a small U-shaped water tunneloperating at relatively low Reynolds numbers(2,500 to 25,000) have been previously reported[1 J.

The present paper deals with in-line andtransverse forces acting on smooth and artifi­cially-roughened circular cylinders in harmonicflow at critical and supercritical Reynoldsnumbers.

APPARATUS AND PROCEDURE

Of the two possible methods of generatingrelative harmonic fluid motion about bluff bodiesnamely, oscillating the fluid or the body, theformer has been chosen. The relative merits andshortcomings of the two methods have been amplydiscussed [2J and will not be repeated here.Suffice it to note that large amplitude struc­tural and free surface oscillations commonlyencountered in oscillating the body in a fluidotherwise at rest do not lead to reliable data.The advantages of the apparatus used herein forthe purpose under consideration have already beendemonstrated [lJ and will become further evidentfrom the data to be presented.

The oscillating flow system consisted of alarge U-shaped vertical water tunnel as shown inFig. 1. The cross-section of the two verticallegs is 3 ft by 6 ft and that of the test sectionis 3 ft by 3 ft. The two corners of the tunnelwere carefully streamlined to prevent flowseparation. This design proved to be more thanadequate for no separation was encountered, andalso the desired frequency and amplitude ofoscillation were achieved. The auxiliary compo­nents of the tunnel consisted of plumbing forhot and cold water, butterfly-valve system, andthe air-supply system.

The butterfly-valve system (mounted on topof one of the legs of the tunnel) consisted offour plates, each 18 inches wide and 36 incheslong. All four valves were simultaneously drivenby a simple rack and pinion system actuated by anair-driven piston and a three-way pneumatic valveInitially, the butterfly valves were closed andair was introduced to that side of the tunnel,with an electrically-controlled ball valve, tocreate the desired differential water levelbetween the two legs of the tunnel. Then thevalves were opened with the help of the rack andpinion system and the three-way control valve.This action set the fluid in the tunnel in oscil­latory motion with a natural period of T = 5.272seconds. The elevation, acceleration, and allforce traces were absolutely free from secondaryoscillations so that no filters whatsoever wereused between the outputs of the transducers andthe recording equipment (see Fig. 2).

Throughout the investigation, the monitoringof the characteristics of the oscillations in the

tunnel was of prime importance in view of thefact that most of the difficulties in the pastin the determination of the drag, lift, and iner­tia coefficients resulted from the difficulty ofgenerating a purely harmonic motion free fromvibrations or from applying theoretically derivecrather than measured values for velocities andaccelerations.

Three transducers were used to generatethree independent d.c. signals, each proportionalto the instantaneous value of elevation, velocit)and acceleration. The first one consisted of aplatinum wire stretched vertically in one legof the tunnel. The response of the wire wasperfectly linear within the range of oscillationc

encountered. The second method consisted of themeasurement of the instantaneous acceleration bymeans of a differential-pressure transducerconnected to two pressure taps placed horizon­tally 2 ft apart and 4 ft to one side of the tes1section. The instantaneous acceleration was thercalculated from ~p = ps.dU/dt where ~p is thedifferential pressure, s the distance betweenthe pressure taps and dU/dt is the instantaneousacceleration of the fluid. The third methodagain consisted of the measurement of the differ­ential pressure between two pressure taps placedsYmmetrically on the two vertical legs of thetunnel at an elevation H ft below the mean waterlevel. The linear differential-pressure trans­ducer yielded the instantaneous elevation andhence the amplitude of oscillation since,according to Bernoulli·s equation

A = 2Ao = [~p/yJ 1[1 - (2~/T)2H/gJ (1)maxin which g and T are constant and H is keptconstant.

All three methods gave nearly identicalresults and yielded the amplitude A, the maximumvelocity U~ = 2~A/T, or the maximum accelerationam = (2~/T)2A to an accuracy of about 2% relativEto each other.

The in-line and transverse forces were measured with two identical, cantilever type, forcetransducers, one at each end of the cylinder.The gages had a capacity of 250 lbs and thedeflection of the cantilever end was less than0.008 inches. A special housing was built foreach gage so that it can be mounted on the tunnelwindow and rotated to measure either the in-lineor the transverse force alone. The test cylin­ders were placed in the test section by retrac­ting the gages from their housing and then push­ing them into the bearings mounted on each endof the cylinders. This allowed a gap of 1/32inch between the cylinder and the tunnel wall.The natural frequency of the cylinder and force­transducer combination in water was about 20times larger than the frequency of oscillationof the water column and about 10 times largerthan the largest frequency of vortex shedding.

It is recognized that the coefficients citedabove are not constant throughout the cycle andare either time-invariant averages or peak valuesat a particular moment in the cycle. A simpledimensional analysis of the flow under consider­ation shows that the time-dependent coefficientsmay be written as

F/(0.5DLpU~)= f(UmT/D, UmD/v, kiD, tiT) (6)

in which F represents the in-line or the trans­verse force. Equation (6), combined with Eq. (2)assuming for now that the latter is indeed valid,yields

and Cmls=Cm• Evidently, the Fourier analysis andthe metnod of least squares yield identical Cmvalues and that the Cd values differ onlyslightly. The details of the modified least­squares method may be found in Ref. [5] and willnot be repeated here.

The transverse force has been expressed interms of various coefficients. Some of these are(a) the maximum lift coefficient defined by CL=(maximum amplitude of the transverse force in acycle)/(0.5LDpU~); (b) the semi peak-to-peakvalue o~ the transverse force normalized by0.5LDpUm; and (c) the normalized root-mean-squarevalue or the transverse force. In addition, thefrequency of the oscillations of the transverseforce and the Strouhal number have been evaluated

Sevencircul'ar cylinders with diametersranging in size from 2 inches to 6.5 inches wereused. The cylinders were turned on a lathe fromaluminum pipes or plexiglass rods and polishedto a mirror-shine surface. Same cylinders werealso used as rough cylinders. For this purpose,sand was sieved to obtain the desired relativeroughness and applied uniformly on the cylindersurface with an air-drying epoxy paint. Aftera series of tests with water at various tempera­tures, the cylinders were polished again andcovered with sand of different size. This pro­cedure was continued until the desired ranges ofall the governing parameters were covered. Theuse of hot water increased the range of theReynolds number by as much as 100%.

Experiments were repeated at least fourtimes for each cylinder and for all suitablyselected amplitudes, roughness hights, and watertemperatures. The in-line and transverse forceswere read every 0.1 second from the traces forthe period of T = 5.272 seconds. Then the drag,inertia, and the lift coefficients, the vortexshedding frequency, Strouhal number, maximumerror between the measured and calculated forces,etc. were evaluated through the use of the appro­priate equations and a computer.

FORCE COEFFICIENTS AND GOVERNING PARAMETERS

Data reduction for the forces in-line withthe direction of oscillation is based on Morisonequation [3] and three different analysis of theforce records, namely, Fourier analysis, leastsquares, and a modified least squares method.

The method of least squares consists of theminimization of the error between the measuredand calculated forces. This procedure yields [5]

There is no simple way to deal with Eqs. (7)and (8) even for the most manageable time-depen­dent flows. Another and 'perhaps the only otheralternative is to eliminate time as an independ­ent variable and consider suitable time-invariantaverages as given by Eqs. (3), (4), and (5).Th~s, one has

" Cd\ Cm = f.( K , Re , kiD )" 1\ CL

It appeari, for the purposes of Eq. (9), that theReynolds number is not the most suitable param­eter involving viscosity. The primary reasonsfor this are that the effect of viscosity isrelatively small and that Urn appears in both Kand Re. Thus, replacing Re by Re/K = D2/vT inEq. (9), one has

turbulence. Following the transition of theentire boundary layer to turbulence during mostof the cycle, the flow reaches a supercriticalstate and both the drag and inertia coefficientsacquire nearly constant values. Even though theactual events are somewhat more complicated, itseems unlikely that there will be any furthertransitions in the boundary layer.

The reason for the experiments with roughcylinders is of course more than the desire toexamine the effect of relative roughness on Cd>Cm, and CL. It is prompted essentially by anattempt at artificially increasing the Reynoldsnumber to supercritical regime by means of sur-face roughness. Recent experiments [7, 8] withsteady flow over rough cylinders have shown that(a) a change in flow regime takes place at aReynolds-number Vk/v of about 200 independentlyof the diametral Reynolds number; (b) a correctsurface roughness condition provokes supercriti-cal flow for Vk/v > 200, (the condition thatmust be respected is k/D c 0.0022); (c) a smoothcylinder is not a special case but behaves as ifit had a roughness of k/D = 0.000035; and that(d) the apparent diametral Reynolds number isincreased by a factor k/(0.000035.D)for a cylin-der of diameter D and surface roughness k. Theimportance and the consequences of these conclu-sions are self evident for supercritical Reynoldsnumber simulation for flow over circular cylin-ders.

In order to carry over the above ideas toharmonic flow, the data given in Fig. 13werereplotted in Fig. 15 as a function of U k/v forvarious values of k/D. A similar plot ?or Cm hasbeen prepared but will,not be presented here dueto space limitations. Also shown in Fig. 15 arethe mean lines correspondingto steady flow ascompiled by Szechenyi [7]. Figure 15 shows thata change in the flow regime takes place at aroughness Reynolds number of about 130 and thatthe drag coefficient approaches values between0.9 and 1.0 for k/D < 0.002. Evidently, thechange in’the flow regime occurs at higher valuesof U k/v with increasing k/D. Of special inter-

?est or simulation purposes, however, is thesmaller relative roughness.

The magnitude of the apparent increase inthe diametral Reynolds number can be estimatedby fitting the curve obtained for smooth cylin-ders (see Figs. 11 and 13) for K= 50 onto therough cylinder results shown in Fig. 15. Workin!back from the resulting values of Umk/v on theabscissa, this procedure gives an effectiverelative roughness between 0.0004 and 0.0006 forthe smooth cylinder in harmonic flow with K = 50.Further exploration of these ideas will beextremely important in model tests and in thesimulation of supercritical Reynolds numbers.It must, however, be kept in mind that the actualevents in harmonic flow are considerably morecomplicated and that the effect of roughness

cannot be represented by k/D alone. Additionalparameters such as the size distribut’ion,.shapeand packing of grains must be introduced. Alternatively, one can define an equivalent roughnessheight ks [9] or a roughness-length parameterbased on the actual boundary-layer characteris-ticcs.

Transverse Force and Vortex Shedding forSmooth and Rough Cylinders - The data for themaximum lift coefficient for smooth cylindersare summarized in Figs. 16 and 17. The originaldata in plotted and tabulated form are presentedin Ref. [2]. Evidently, the lift coefficientdepends on Re for Re larger than about 20,000and rapidly decreases to about 0.2 for largervalues of Re and K. It is also evident that thelift force is a major portion of the total forceacting on the cylinder and cannot be neglectedin the design of structures.

The frequency of the alternating transverseforce is shown in Fig. 18 in terms of fr=fv/f asa function of K and Re. It is apparentthat fr is not constant and increases withincreasing K and Re. Furthermore, a quick calculation through the use of Fig. 18 shows that theStrouhal number given by fvD/U = fr/K is not

?constant at 0.2, as in steady low, and dependson both Re and K. Experiments with rough cylin-ders yielded similar results for CL, fr, and theStrouhal number [2]. Largest lift as well asthe largest in-line force tended to occur atthetime of maximum velocity. This in turn decreasethe phase angle and hence the inertia coeffi-cient and increased the drag coefficient relativto smooth cylinder. Thus, roughness increasesthe maximum instantaneousforce acting on thecylinder by synchronizing the occurrence of themaximum in-line and transverseforces at or nearthe time of maximum velocity.

CONCLUSIONS

The results presented herein warrant thefollowing conclusions: (a) For smooth cylinders,the drag, lift, and the inertia coefficientsdepend on both the Reynolds and Keulegan andCarpenter numbers; (b) For rough cylinders, thesame force coefficients become independent ofthe Reynolds number above a critical value anddepend only on the Keulegan and Carpenter numberand the relative roughness; (c) Correct artifi-cial roughness may be used to provoke and simu-late supercritical flow in model tests in steadyas well as oscillatory flows; (d) For both smootand rough cylinders, the relationship betweenthe drag and inertia coefficients is not uniqueand depends on the particular value of theKeulegan and Carpenter number; (e) The transvers@force is a significant fraction of the totalresistance at all Reynolds numbers and must beconsidered in the design of structures; (f) Thefrequency of the shedding of the primary vorticesincreases at more or less discrete steps with
