Abstract

In this paper, vortex identifications for turbulent flow past a stationary and oscillating cylinder is performed on the three-dimensional velocity field obtained by delayed detached-eddy simulation. The Reynolds number of the flow based on the cylinder diameter is 41,750. For the oscillating case, the moving boundary and the motion of the cylinder is archived by Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian method. Third generation vortex identification methods, namely Liutex vector and the Omega-Liutex method are presented to understand the coherent turbulent flow structures. Quantitative flow variables such as drag and lift coefficients, pressure on the cylinder surface are also presented.
