Abstract

The flow-induced vibration in a heat exchanger may cause the damage to piping. Therefore, it is necessary to establish the flow induced vibration characteristics for the structural stability of a heat exchanger. The purpose of this study was to compare the generation, development, and separation characteristics of a vortex around a circular tube with respect to time when the flow velocity of the inlet was fluctuating constantly and periodically. The time characteristics of lift and drag and the PSD characteristics were also investigated. In the case of a constant inlet flow velocity, the well-known Kalman vorticity distribution was shown. The vortex generation, growth, and separation were also observed alternately at the upper and lower sides of the tube. In the case of periodic inlet flow velocity, the vortex occurred simultaneously in the upper and lower sides of the tube. In the case of constant inlet flow velocity, the magnitude of the lift PSD was 500 times larger than that of drag. The frequency was 31.15 Hz and that of drag was doubled at 62.3 Hz. In case of a periodic inlet flow velocity, the PSD of the drag was approximately 500 times larger than that of lift. The frequency was 15.57 Hz, which was the same as the inlet-flow velocity frequency. In addition, the frequency of lift was 31.15 Hz, which was the same Karman vortex frequency.

열교환기에서 유동 유발 진동은 배관의 파손을 유발할 수 있어서 열교환기의 구조 안정성을 위해 유동 유발 진동 특성을 규명할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 단일 원관에서 입구의 유속이 일정한 경우와 주기적인 변동이 있는 경우에 대하여 시간에 따라 원관 주위에서 와류의 생성, 발달 및 분리 특성을 비교 분석하고 양력과 항력의 시간 변화 특성과 PSD 특성을 살펴보아 단일 원관에서 전방류의 주기적인 속도 변동에 따른 유동 특성을 규명하였다. 일정 입구 유속의 경우는 잘 알려진 칼만 와류 분포를 보여 주었으며 원관의 상하에서 교대로 와류가 발생, 성장, 분리하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 주기적인 입구 유속의 경우는 원관의 상하에서 동시에 와류가 발생하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 일정 입구 유속의 경우는 양력의 PSD 크기가 항력에 비해 약 500배 컸으며 주파수는 31.15 Hz이며 항력은 2배인 62.3 Hz로 나타났다. 주기적인 입구 유속의 경우는 항력의 PSD가 양력보다 약 500배 컸으며 주파수는 입구 유속의 주파수와 동일하게 15.57 Hz이며 양력의 주파수는 일정 입구 유속과 같은 칼만 와류 주파수인 31.15 Hz로 나타났다.
