间距比对三圆柱俘能振子水动力及水动能俘获影响研究

Study on the effects of spacing ratio on hydrodynamic characteristics and hydrokinetic energy harvesting in a three-cylinder energy-harvesting oscillators

  • 摘要: 本文针对刚性耦合三圆柱振子系统涡激振动(VIV)水动能俘获及效率提升问题,采用双向流固耦合数值模拟方法,系统探究了三角形排列的三圆柱振子系统在单一间距比(G=0.5,0.2, 0.19,0.18)和复合间距比(G1=0.5,G2=0.2/0.19/0.18)下的涡激振动响应特性,分析了折减速度(Ur=2~13)对振幅、频率、升力系数及尾涡模式的影响,并评估了能量转换特性。结果表明:单一小间距比(G=0.18)在锁定区间效率峰值达50%,而复合间距比总功率更高(30~40 W),但效率略低,尾涡变化规律复杂。单一小间距比(G=0.18/0.19)能量密度较高,可达G=0.5的10倍以上,或达到G=0.2的2倍以上;复合间距比布置的能量密度介于单间距之间。本研究为低速水动能俘获中三圆柱振子系统间距比确定及布置提供参考。

     

    Abstract: Regarding hydrokinetic energy harvesting and efficiency optimization of vortex-induced vibration (VIV) in rigidly coupled three-cylinder oscillator systems, the vortex-induced vibration response characteristics of triangularly arranged three-cylinder oscillators were systematically investigated using two-way fluid-structure interaction numerical simulations. The analysis focused on single spacing ratios (G=0.5,0.2,0.19,0.18) and composite spacing ratios (G1=0.5 with G2=0.2/0.19/0.18), examining the effects of reduced velocity (Ur=2~13) on amplitude, frequency, lift coefficients, wake patterns, and energy conversion performance. Key findings include: The single small spacing ratio (G=0.18) achieved a peak efficiency of 50% in the lock-in region, while composite spacing configurations generated higher total power (30~40 W) with slightly reduced efficiency and more complex wake evolution. Energy density for single small spacing ratios (G=0.18/0.19) exceeded 10 times that of G=0.5 and doubled that of G=0.2, with composite spacing arrangements exhibiting intermediate energy density levels. The findings provide a theoretical basis for optimizing spacing ratios and configurations in multi-cylinder energy harvesters for low-velocity hydrokinetic energy extraction.
