Turbulent Wake Flow around Tubes in Single Row Tube Banks

일렬관군에서의 난류 후류특성에 관한 연구

An experimental study is conducted to investigate the turbulent wake flow around tubes in vertical single row tube banks. All measurements are performed at Reynolds number(Re$_{max}$) 4.2*10$_{3}$ - 2.5*10$_{4}$ with varying tube spacings from the wide pitch ratio(H/D=3.07) to the very narrow one(H/D=1.23). Flow patterns are visualized using the smoke-wire method. Mean static pressures, velocity components, and various statistical quantities of turbulence are obtained by the computer on-line technique. In the case of wide tube spacings, the near wakes of tube show similar trends to those of a single tube, and their flow indicats an anisotropic turbulence. However, as the pitch ratio decreases, wide and narrow wakes appear alternately behind adjacent tubes due to the deflected flow. Also, in the case of H/D .leq. 1.54, Karman vortex is not formed at the side of relatively wide wake.e.

본 연구에서는 격자관군(in-line tube banks)과 엇갈림관군(staggered tube banks)에서의 유동특성을 해명하기 위한 기초로서, 일렬관군에 대해 유동특성을 통계적으로 조사한다. 이를 위해, 먼저 유동의 가시화와 관의 표면압력 측정실험이 행해진다. 또한, 통계적 기법의 도입을 통하여 관 주위의 평균속도, 난류강도, 파워 스펙트럼 밀도함수, 스트로홀수(strouhal number), 자기상관계수, 활률 밀도함수 등의 측정이 수행된다.
