Abstract

The fluid-structure interaction problem of cylindrical flow around the cylinder is a classic problem, especially in many fields such as energy engineering, fluid dynamics, engineering structure, energy utilization and development, and environmental protection. In this article, we have heard about the simplified model and analyzed it with the help of the classical cylindrical flow model. In this paper, the flow field was pre-processed on the Workbench software platform, and the pressure distribution and eddy current phenomenon were observed by post-processing given the velocity of the flow field of 1m/s. There is a large number of thunder (2.799552×10⁶) and the Carmen Vortex appears around the cylinder. The vortex falls off periodically, and the wake structure is relatively irregular. The maximum pressure appears at the bottom of the cylinder and the maximum deformation at the top. Then, the pressure term of the simulation results was transferred to the Ansys solver for finite element structural analysis to observe the stresses and strains of the structure under the action of fluids. Finally, the response signal is based on Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD). Its periodic signal corresponded to the flow field, and its components were analyzed in detail. The application of VMD in this area provides innovative inspiration for related fields.
