Unsteady results

In order to comprehend the real structure deformation and the turbulent flow field found in the present test case, experimentally and numerically obtained unsteady results are presented in this section.

A high-speed camera movie of the structure deflection illustrates the deflection of the rubber plate over several periods:

Figure 8a shows experimental raw signals of dimensionless y-displacements from a point located at a distance of 3 mm from the trailing edge of the steel weight in the midplane of the test section. Note that only a small extract of the entire data containing several thousand cycles is shown for the sake of visibility. The signal shows only slight variations in the extrema: The maxima of Uy/D (full data set, not the extract depicted in Fig. 8) vary between 0.298 and 0.523 and the minima between -0.234 and -0.542. The standard deviations on the extrema are about of the mean value of the extrema). Minor variations are observed regarding the period in Figure 8a). Figure 8b) shows the calculated phased-averaged Ux/D and Uy/D displacements for the reference period and Fig. 8c) the corresponding phase plane, respectively. The phase-averaged result shows a sinusdosial distribution for both directions. The Ux/D displacement is phase-shifted of about 70 degrees and has a doubled frequency in comparasion to the Uy/D deflection which is set as the reference for the phase-averaging procedure. The monitoring point trajectory plotted in the phase plane describes an distored '8', which is typical for the second swiveling mode for this kind of configurations. The cycle-to-cycle variations in these plots are small. Therefore, the FSI phenomenon can be characterized as quasi-periodic.

Fig. 8: Experimental structure results for a point in the midplane of the test section located at a distance of 3 mm from the trailing edge of the rubber plate: a) Raw signals of the Uy/D displacement; b) Phase-averaged Ux/D and Uy/D-deflections; c) Phase-plane of the phase-averaged structure motion.


Figure 9 is composed of eight images of the instantaneous flow field (streamwise velocity component) experimentally measured in the x-y plane located in the middle of the rubber plate. These pictures constitute a full period T of the FSI phenomenon arbitrarily chosen. As mentioned before, the rubber plate deforms in the second swiveling mode. Thus, there are two wave nodes: one is located at the clamping of the flexible structure as in the first swiveling mode; the second one is found close to the bond of the rubber and the steel weight. At the beginning of the period (t = 0) the structure is in its undeformed state. Then, it starts to deform upwards and reaches a maximal deflection at t = T / 4. Afterwards, the plate deflects downwards until its maximal deformation at t =3T/4. Finally the plate deforms back to its original undeformed state and the end of the period is reached.

As visible in Fig. 9 the flow is highly turbulent, particularly near the cylinder, the flexible structure and in the wake. The strong shear layers originating from the separated boundary layers are clearly visible. This is the region where for the sub-critical flow the transition to turbulence takes place as visible in Fig. 9. Consequently, the flow in the wake region behind the cylinder is obviously turbulent and shows cycle-to-cycle variations. That means the flow field in the next periods succeeding the interval depicted in Fig. 9 will definitely look slightly different due to the irregular chaotic character of turbulence. Therefore, in order to be able to compare these results an averaging method is needed leading to a statistically averaged representation of the flow field. Since the FSI phenomenon is quasi-periodic the phase-averaging procedure presented above is ideal for this purpose and the results obtained are presented in the next section.

Data files

As explained in Section Generation of Phase-resolved Data 23 reference positions were calculated with the phase-resolved post-processing algorithm. 23 phase-averaged data are enough to precisely describe the period of the FSI phenomenon.
