  • The Role of Pressure-Velocity Correlation in Oscillatory Flow Between a Pair of Bluff Bodies

    Obi S., Tokai N., Sakai K., Engineering Turbulence Modelling and Experiments 6, 2005.12

    　View Summary

    This chapter studies the role of pressure-velocity correlation in oscillatory flow between a pair of bluff bodies. Turbulence models based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) approach often fail to predict flows associated with massive separation, in contrast to large eddy simulation (LES) that correctly captures large-scale turbulent fluid motion typically found in such flows. It is generally recognized that the poor performance of the RANS models is due to the shortcomings of the statistical approach itself in representing the coherent structure in turbulence. This chapter considers turbulent flow measurements between two bluff bodies set in uniform flow in tandem arrangement. The velocity obtained with particle image velocimetry (PIV) are averaged with respect to either time or phase of periodic pressure oscillation induced by vortex shedding from the bluff body, that is, Reynolds decomposition or three-level decomposition. The Reynolds stress caused by periodic fluid motion is found excessively large compared with those related to turbulent fluctuation in entire flow field. The PIV data is used to solve discrete Poisson equation of instantaneous pressure. The effect of organized vortex motion is recognized as the strong correlation between velocity and pressure gradient, which explains the poor performance of RANS turbulence models in predicting this kind of flows. © 2005 Elsevier B.V.

  • Three-Dimensional Hydrodynamic Analysis of a Flexible Caudal Fin

    May Hlaing Win Khin,Shinnosuke Obi

    Applied Sciences (MDPI)  12 ( 24 )  2022.12

    Research paper (scientific journal), Joint Work, Last author, Accepted

    　View Summary

    A 3D fluid–structure coupled simulation of a square flexible flapper, the basic model of a caudal fin, is performed to visualize the flow field around the caudal fin. A plate immersed in a water tank is driven to oscillate vertically by its leading edge. A quantitative analysis of the thrust generated by the plate, which is difficult to explore experimentally, is performed over a range of non-dimensional flapping frequencies 0.93 (Formula presented.) 1.47 to explore the mechanism of thrust generation in more detail. Comparisons are made between three different flapping frequencies around the structural resonance. Numerical results at different flapping frequencies provide a reasonable estimate of the trailing edge amplitude and phase lag of the motion of the plate’s leading and trailing edges. The pressure distribution and deformation of the plate are analyzed to estimate the time evolution of the maximum and minimum thrust generation during the flapping period. Variations in pressure distribution on the plate surface are mainly due to the displacement of the trailing edge relative to the leading edge. Thrust is mainly provided by the pressure difference at the trailing edge. The maximum thrust was found to correspond to the maximum relative deformation of the trailing edge. The optimum frequency (Formula presented.) = 1.2 corresponding to the maximum thrust generation does not coincide with the structural resonance frequency, but remains at a frequency slightly higher than the resonance. These results indicate that the relative deformation of the plate plays an important role in the estimation of the flow field and the associated thrust generation. The numerical results may provide new guidelines for the design of robotic underwater vehicles.

  • Fluid Flow Induced By An Elastic Plate In Heaving Motion

    May Hlaing Win Khin, Kentaro Kato, Hyung Jin Sung, Shinnosuke Obi

    ASEAN Engineering Journal (Universiti Teknologi Malaysia)  12 ( 3 ) 1 - 9 2022.08

    Research paper (scientific journal), Joint Work, Last author

    　View Summary

    We perform three-dimensional simulations of an elastic plate heaving in a sinusoidal motion with different frequencies to explore the effects of the forcing heaving frequency on the hydrodynamic force generation and flow structures. It is aimed to simulate the motion of a rectangular elastic plate, representing a simplified flexible wing or fin, placed in an open water tank as in a corresponding experimental study. The top edge of the plate oscillates sinusoidally in water at rest. Simulations are conducted for the fluid structure interaction of an elastic plate with a special version of the open-source library C++ OpenFOAM, foam-extend-3.2. The plate oscillates at different heaving frequencies in a range of 3.5 Hz and 4.5 Hz. Experiments are carried out to validate our simulations. The results are in a good agreement with the experiment in terms of the representation of the resonant frequency and the induced hydrodynamic forces. It is found that the hydrodynamic force and propulsive efficiency are mainly affected by the elastic deformation and forcing heaving frequencies. The generated thrust is observed to be significantly enhanced at the resonant frequency, while the propulsive efficiency is increased at the heaving frequency which is greater than the resonant frequency. The results of our simulations point to the importance of resonant flapping frequency for considering the optimal heaving frequency to achieve the best performance and to get the improved thrust force, which are crucial for the locomotion of birds, insects, fishes, flapping-based micro air and underwater vehicles.

  • Numerical study of the dynamic stall effect on a pair of cross-flow hydrokinetic turbines and associated torque enhancement due to flow blockage

    Doan M.N., Obi S.

    Journal of Marine Science and Engineering (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering)  9 ( 8 )  2021.08

    　View Summary

    An open-source 2D Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) simulation model was presented and applied for a laboratory-scaled cross-flow hydrokinetic turbine and a twin turbine system in counter-rotating configurations. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was compared with previously published experimental results and then used to study the turbine power output and relevant flow fields at four blockage ratios. The dynamic stall effect and related leading edge vortex (LEV) structures were observed, discussed, and correlated with the power output. The results provided insights into the blockage effect from a different perspective: The physics behind the production and maintenance of lift on the turbine blade at different blockage ratios. The model was then applied to counter-rotating configurations of the turbines and similar analyses of the torque production and maintenance were conducted. Depending on the direction of movement of the other turbine, the blade of interest could either produce higher torque or create more energy loss. For both of the scenarios where a blade interacted with the channel wall or another blade, the key behind torque enhancement was forcing the flow through its suction side and manipulating the LEV.

  • Flow field measurement of laboratory-scaled cross-flow hydrokinetic turbines: Part ii—the near-wake of twin turbines in counter-rotating configurations

    Doan M.N., Kawata T., Obi S.

    Journal of Marine Science and Engineering (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering)  9 ( 7 )  2021.07

    　View Summary

    Cross-flow hydrokinetic turbines have sparked interest among fluid dynamicists for their potential for power enhancement in paired configuration. Following the first part of a laboratory-scaled turbine wake measurement project, this second part presents a monoscopic particle image velocimetry measurement of the near-wake of two cross-flow hydrokinetic turbines in six different counter-rotating configurations. The turbines operated in a small water flume at an average diameter-based Reynolds number of 2 × 104 with the incoming streamwise velocity of 0.316 m/s. The six configurations included two turbine separation distances, two turbine phase angles differences, and two different relative incoming flow angles. Similar to the observation of the single turbine configurations in part I, a correlation between flow field structures and the corresponding power output was observed. Effects of each parameter of the counter-rotating configurations are further discussed, which suggest guidelines for setting up multiple devices in a power farm. This article is accompanied by all full numeric data sets and videos of the results.

  • Flow field measurement of laboratory-scaled cross-flow hydrokinetic turbines: Part i—the near-wake of a single turbine

    Doan M.N., Kai Y., Kawata T., Obi S.

    Journal of Marine Science and Engineering (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering)  9 ( 5 )  2021.05

    　View Summary

    Recent developments in marine hydrokinetic (MHK) technology have put the cross-flow (often vertical-axis) turbines at the forefront. MHK devices offer alternative solutions for clean marine energy generation as a replacement for traditional hydraulic turbines such as the Francis, Kaplan, and Pelton. Following previous power measurements of laboratory-scaled cross-flow hydrokinetic turbines in different configurations, this article presents studies of the water flow field immediately behind the turbines. Two independent turbines, which operated at an average diameter-based Reynolds number of approximately 0.2 X 105, were driven by a stepper motor at various speeds in a closed circuit water tunnel with a constant freestream velocity of 0.316 m/s. The wakes produced by the three NACA0012 blades of each turbine were recorded with a monoscopic particle image velocimetry technique and analyzed. The flow structures with velocity, vorticity, and kinetic energy fields were correlated with the turbine power production and are discussed herein. Each flow field was decomposed into the time averaged, periodic, and random components for all the cases. The results indicate the key to refining the existed turbine design for enhancement of its power production and serve as a baseline for future comparison with twin turbines in counter-rotating configurations.
