The two-dimensional circular cylinder freely falling in a channel has been simulated by using Immersed boundary - lattice Boltzmann method in order to analyze the characteristics of motion originated by the interaction between the fluid and the solid. The wide range of the solid/fluid density ratio has been considered to identify the effect of the solid/fluid density ratio on the motion characteristics such as the falling time, the terminal velocity and the trajectory in the vertical and horizontal directions. In addition, the effect of the gap between the cylinder and the wall on the motion of two-dimensional circular cylinder freely falling has been revealed by taking into account a various range of the gap size. The Reynolds number in terms of the terminal velocity is diminished as the cylinder becomes close to the wall at the initial dropping position, since the repulsive force induced between the cylinder and wall constrains the vertical motion. Quantitative information about the flow variables such as the pressure coefficient and vorticity on the cylinders is highlighted.

A two-dimensional circular cylinder freely falling in a channel has been simulated by using immersed boundary - lattice Boltzmann method (IB-LBM) in order to analyze the characteristics of motion originated by the interaction between the fluid flow and the cylinder. The wide range of the solid/fluid density ratio has been considered to identify the effect of the solid/fluid density ratio on the motion characteristics such as the falling time, the transverse force and the trajectory in the streamwise and transverse directions. In addition, the effect of the gap between the cylinder and the wall on the motion of a two-dimensional freely falling circular cylinder has been revealed by taking into account a various range of the gap size. As the cylinder is close to the wall at the initial dropping position, vortex shedding in the wake occurs early since the shear flow formed in the spacing between the cylinder and the wall drives flow instabilities from the initial stage of freely falling. In order to consider the characteristics of transverse motion of the cylinder in the initial stage of freely falling, quantitative information about the cylinder motion variables such as the transverse force, trajectory and settling time has been investigate.

This work is concerned with the investigation of end effects of a cylinder on a structure where a circular plate is attached to a solid circular cylinder. Three-dimensional elasticity solutions are used in a cylinder whereas the classical thin plate theory is employed for a plate. The end effect of the cylinder on the flexibility and the structural response is demonstrated by several numerical examples.

The present paper deals with the determination of displacement and thermal stresses in a semi-infinite circular cylinder defined as $0{\leq}r{\leq}b$, $0{\leq}z<{\infty}$, due to internal heat generation within it. A circular cylinder is considered having arbitrary initial temperature and subjected to time dependent heat flux at the fixed circular boundary (r = b) whereas the zero temperature at the lower surface (z = 0) of the semi-infinite circular cylinder. The governing heat conduction equation has been solved by using integral transform method. The results are obtained in series form in terms of Bessel functions. The results for displacement and stresses have been computed numerically and illustrated graphically.

NSBT(No Slip Boundary Treatment) is a newly developed scheme for the treatment of a no slip condition on the solid wall of obstacle in a flow field. In our research, NSBT was used to perform LBM simulation of a flow over a circular cylinder to determine the flow feature and aerodynamics characteristic of the cylinder. To ascertain the applicability of NSBT on the complex shape of the obstacle, it was first simulated for the case of the flow over a circular and square cylinder in a channel and the results were compared against the solution of Navier-Stokes equation. The simulations were performed in a moderate range of Reynolds number at each cylinder position to identify the flow feature and aerodynamic characteristics of circular cylinder in a channel. The drag coefficients of the cylinder were calculated from the simulation results. We have numerically confirmed that the critical reynolds number for vortex shedding is in the range of 200$\sim$250. For the gap parameter $\gamma$ = 2 cases at Re > 240, the vortex shedding were symmetric and it resembled the Karmann vortex. As the cylinder approached to one wall, the vorticity significantly reduced in length while the vorticity on the other side elongated and the vorticity combined with the wall boundary-layer vorticity. The resultant $C_d$ by LBM concurred with the results of DNS simulation performed by previous researchers.

The present study numerically investigates the motion of a solid body suspended in the square enclosure with natural convection. A two-dimensional circular cylinder levitated thermally has been simulated by using thermal lattice Boltzmann method(TLBM) with the direct-forcing immersed boundary method. To deal with the ascending, falling or levitation of a circular cylinder in natural convection, the immersed boundary method is expanded and coupled with the TLBM. The circular cylinder is located at the bottom of a square enclosure with no restriction on the motion and freely migrates due to the Boussinesq approximation which is employed for the coupling between the flow and temperature fields. For different density ratio between the cylinder and the fluid, the motion characteristics of the circular cylinder for various Grashof numbers have been carried out. The Prandtl number is fixed as 0.7.

The present investigation is concerned with a study effect of magnetic field and non-homogenous on the elastic stresses in rotating orthotropic infinite circular cylinder. A certain boundary conditions closed form stress fields solutions are obtained for rotating orthotropic cylinder under initial magnetic field with constant thickness for three cases: (1) Solid cylinder, (2) Cylinder with a circular hole at the center, (3) Cylinder mounted on a circular rigid shaft. Analytical expressions for the components of the displacement and stress fields in different cases are obtained. The effect of rotation and magnetic field and non-homogeneity on the displacement and stress fields are studied. Numerical results are illustrated graphically for each case. The effects of rotating and magnetic field and non-homogeneity are discussed.

In this article, an analytical solution is presented for the steady-state axisymmetric thermal stress distributions in a composite hollow cylinder. The cylinder is composed of two isotropic and anisotropic materials which is subjected to the thermal boundary conditions of convective as well as radiative heating and cooling on the inner and outer surfaces, respectively. The solution of the temperature is obtained by means of Bessel functions and the thermal stresses are developed using Potential functions of displacement. Numerical results are derived for a cylinder which is similar to a gas turbine combustor and showed that the maximum temperature and thermal stresses (radial, hoop, axial) occurred in the middle point of cylinder and the values of thermal stresses in anisotropic cylinder are more than the isotropic cylinder. It is worthy to note that the values of the thermal conditions which estimated in this research, not to be presented in any other papers but these values are very accurate in calculation.

CMBT(Curved Moving Boundary Treatment) is a newly developed scheme for the treatment of a no slip condition on the curved solid wall of moving obstacle in a flow field. In our research CMBT was used to perform LBM simulation of a flow over a moving circular cylinder to determine the flow feature and aerodynamics characteristic of the cylinder. To ascertain the applicability of CMBT on the complex shape of the obstacle, it was first simulated for the case of the flow over a fixed circular cylinder in a channel and the results were compared against the solution of Navier-Stokes equation with deforming mesh technique. The simulations were performed in a moderate range of reynolds number at each moving cylinder to identify the flow feature and aerodynamic characteristics of circular cylinder in a channel. The drag coefficients of the cylinder were calculated from the simulation results. We have numerically confirmed that the critical reynolds number for vortex shedding is ar Re=250 and the result is the same as the case of fixed cylinder. As the cylinder approaching to one wall, the 2nd vortex is developed by interacting with the wall boundary-layer vorticity. As the velocity ratio increase the third vortex are generated by interacting with the 2nd vortexes developed on the upper and lower wall boundary layer. The resultant $C_d$ decrease as reynolds number increasing and the Cd approached to a value when Re>1000.

In this paper, we report the numerical and experimental solutions of the axi-symmetric flows in the axial plane driven by an impingement of fluid from the bottom wall of a circular cylinder. We managed to visualize successfully the flow pattern shown on the vertical plane through the container axis. The numerical results are shown to compare well with the experimental results for the case of infinity Rossby number. The satisfactory agreement between the two results was possible when in the numerics the free surface was treated as a solid wall so that a no-slip condition was applied on the surface. The numerical solutions reveal that inertial oscillation plays an important role at small Rossby numbers, or at a larger background rotation.
