Abstract
A numerical investigation of the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) for various shapes of bluff bodies (circular, square, and elliptic) is carried out. This work finds its practical application in many streams more specifically in the design of heat exchanger tubes, riser tubes, and pipelines. The aspect ratio of the circular and square cylinder is taken as 1 while for elliptic cylinder, it is taken as 2 and the reduced velocity (\(U_{{{\text{red}}}} = U/f_{n} D\)) ranging from 2 to 12 is considered for the simulation. The elliptic cylinder is allowed to vibrate in both, transverse direction (y) as well as in the azimuthal (θ) direction, thus the cylinder is having two degrees of freedom while the circular and square cylinder is free to move in y-direction only, i.e., the system is having one degree of freedom. To solve Navier–Stokes equations, a semi-explicit pressure correction scheme on a structured body-fitted non-orthogonal O-type grid is employed. All the results are validated with available literatures and show that the solver developed is in good agreement with the published results.
