Abstract:In this paper, we present a numerical study on the transverse flow-induced vibration (FIV) of an elastically mounted sphere in the vicinity of a free surface at subcritical Reynolds numbers. We assess the interaction dynamics and the vibration characteristics of fully submerged and piercing spheres that are free to vibrate in the transverse direction. We employ the recently developed three-dimensional two-phase flow-structure interaction solver to investigate fully and partially submerged configurations of an … Show more
