Transitional Characteristics of Fluctuating Fluid Force Acting on Two Circular Cylinders of Different Diameter
Details
When two circular cylinders of different diameter are placed side by side in a uniform flow, fluctuating fluid forces acting on them vary with the spacing between them. And at very small spacing, switching phenomena are observed. In this study, transitional characteristics of the switching phenomena are investigated by statistical analysis of localized average and localized standard deviation of fluctuating signal of lift acting on the circular cylinder of larger diameter.
