Abstract
When fluid passes through a still cylinder, alternate shedding vortices are formed on the two sides of the cylinder in the wake. Regarding a rotating circular cylinder, the rotation can affect the wake flow and vortex shedding pattern. To investigate the wake flow and surface pressure characteristics of a rotating cylinder at different rotational speeds, wind tunnel tests and numerical simulation methods through Fluent were used. The dimensionless rotational speed was discussed for its impact on the vortex shedding intensity and pattern. Additionally, the correlation between the cylinder surface wind pressure and the vortex shedding pattern was analyzed. The results of this study provide useful insights into the mechanisms underlying the vortex shedding phenomenon and the effects of rotational speed on the wake flow and surface pressure of a rotating cylinder. The results show that an increase in the dimensionless rotational speed will change the characteristics of the wind pressure distribution, leading to the variation in aerodynamic coefficients. On the other hand, the vortex shedding characteristics of the wake flow will also be affected, with changes in the vortex shedding pattern and direction, thereby changing the characteristics of the wake deviation angle and correlation. Based on the analysis of wake flow speed power spectrum characteristics and the Reynolds number effect, the mechanism of the vortex shedding change caused by flow transitions is speculated and verified by numerical simulation of the vorticity field.
