An experimental method for generating homoclinic oscillations using two nonidentical Chua's oscillators coupled in unidirectional mode is described here. A homoclinic oscillation is obtained at the response oscillator in the weaker coupling limit of phase synchronization. Different phase locking phenomena of homoclinic oscillations with external periodic pulse have been observed when the frequency of the pulse is close to the natural frequency of the homoclinic oscillation or its subharmonics.

Measurements of the unsteady temperature fluctuations in the plume region between differentially heated horizontal concentric cylinders are reported. In particular, power spectral density estimates of the temperature fluctuations within the plume show the development and breakdown of the oscillatory plume structure at high Rayleigh number, Rad, by two relatively independent processes: (1) the development of harmonic oscillations related to the dominant plume oscillation frequency, and (2) interactions between the oscillating plume and the adjacent relatively stagnant core flow (shear and entrainment). The harmonic oscillations are shown to be the dominant energy transfer mode at moderate Rad (up to Rad = 108), acting to disperse the plume energy without generating a broadband spectrum. The spectral density estimates show that while a distinct plume oscillation is still present near the inner cylinder at Rad = 109, the plume becomes increasingly turbulent as the outer cylinder is approached. A new correlation for the plume oscillation frequency, which is found to be proportional to Rad0.5, is also presented.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of key waveform factors on the dynamics of the process during injection molding of cast iron with granular magnesium in ladles, their significance and relationship between them. Based on the theories of wave motion of liquid layers, a mathematical model has been developed that allows to investigate the oscillatory processes in the ladle during the processing of cast iron melt with granular magnesium. The model involved the processing of cast iron by injection of granular magnesium through the tuyeres of devices that are immersed in the melt. The oscillating system "Liquid bath - lance" is considered on the example of the bath of a heavy - duty filling bucket with its own frequency - 0.47 Hz. The influence of the most probable oscillation sources (natural frequency of the lance oscillation and the frequency of the conditional source) on the amplitude-frequency oscillations of the system elements is calculated. It is established that in addition to the natural frequencies of these elements, the system has two more natural oscillations. Given that the mass of the melt is much greater than the mass of the lance, it practically determines the behavior of the system during its excitation. That is, the system responds only to those excitations in which the frequency is close to the natural frequency of the liquid bath. In turn, it is shown that the natural frequency of the bath is largely determined by its diameter at the top. In practice, it is necessary to know the resonant frequencies of the liquid bath, the tuyere device, as well as all other sources of oscillations (gas jet decay, and oscillations of pop-up bubbles). Accordingly, it is necessary to try to dampen the amplitude with this dangerous resonant frequency. To reduce the oscillation amplitude of the bath surface when treating cast iron with granular magnesium, it is recommended to first estimate the natural resonant frequency of the liquid bath, and then select design solutions and processing parameters, avoiding dangerous frequencies close to the natural frequency of the bath. However, it should be noted that the spectrum of oscillation frequencies in the purl zone is quite wide and, of course, contains dangerous low frequencies.

Inducing self-motion illusions referred as vection are critical for improving the sensation of walking in virtual environments (VE). Adding viewpoint oscillations to a constant forward velocity in VE is effective for improving vection strength under static conditions. However, the effects of oscillation frequency and amplitude on vection strength under treadmill walking conditions are still unclear. Besides, due to the visuomotor entrainment mechanism, these visual oscillations would affect gait patterns and be detrimental for achieving natural walking if not properly designed. This study was aimed at determining the optimal frequency and amplitude of vertical viewpoint oscillations for improving vection strength and reducing gait constraints. Seven subjects walked on a treadmill while watching a visual scene. The visual scene presented a constant forward velocity equal to the treadmill velocity with different vertical viewpoint oscillations added. Five oscillation patterns with different combinations of frequency and amplitude were tested. Subjects gave verbal ratings of vection strength. The mediolateral (M-L) center of pressure (CoP) complexity was calculated to indicate gait constraints. After the experiment, subjects were asked to give the best and the worst oscillation pattern based on their walking experience. The oscillation frequency and amplitude had strong positive correlations with vection strength. The M-L CoP complexity was reduced under oscillations with low frequency. The medium oscillation amplitude had greater M-L CoP complexity than the small and large amplitude. Besides, subjects preferred those oscillation patterns with large gait complexity. We suggested that the oscillation amplitude with largest M-L CoP complexity should first be chosen to reduce gait constraints. Then, increasing the oscillation frequency to improve vection strength until individual preference or the boundary of motion sickness. These findings provide important guidelines to promote the sensation of natural walking in VE.

Full textAbstract:
The coupling effect of two different frequency scales between the exciting frequency and the natural frequency of the Shimizu-Morioka system with slow-varying periodic excitation is investigated. First, based on the analysis of the equilibrium states, homoclinic bifurcation, fold bifurcation, and supercritical Hopf bifurcation are observed in the system under a certain parameter condition. When the exciting frequency is much smaller than the natural frequency, we can regard the periodic excitation as a slow-varying parameter. Second, complicated dynamic behaviors are analyzed when the slow-varying parameter passes through different bifurcation points, of which the mechanisms of four different bursting patterns, namely, symmetric “homoclinic/homoclinic” bursting oscillation, symmetric “fold/Hopf” bursting oscillation, symmetric “fold/fold” bursting oscillation, and symmetric “Hopf/Hopf” bursting oscillation via “fold/fold” hysteresis loop, are revealed with different values of the parameterbby means of the transformed phase portrait. Finally, we can find that the time interval between two symmetric adjacent spikes of bursting oscillations exhibits dependency on the periodic excitation frequency.

Forced oscillation events have become a challenging problem with the increasing penetration of renewable and other inverter-based resources (IBRs), especially when the forced oscillation frequency coincides with the dominant natural oscillation frequency. A severe forced oscillation event can deteriorate power system dynamic stability, damage equipment, and limit power transfer capability. This paper proposes a two-dimension scanning forced oscillation grid vulnerability analysis method to identify areas/zones in the system that are critical to forced oscillation. These critical areas/zones can be further considered as effective actuator locations for the deployment of forced oscillation damping controllers. Additionally, active power modulation control through IBRs is also proposed to reduce the forced oscillation impact on the entire grid. The proposed methods are demonstrated through a case study on a synthetic Texas power system model. The simulation results demonstrate that the critical areas/zones of forced oscillation are related to the areas that highly participate in the natural oscillations and the proposed oscillation damping controller through IBRs can effectively reduce the forced oscillation impact in the entire system.

A turbine compressor package is used for pipeline gas transmission. When operating, compressor turbine blades develop vibration, which increases the number of dynamic stress cycles and results in the blade failure. The present study aims to determine the frequency of natural blade vibration and to consider it in the context of the blade repair process. In the first stage of the study, an oscillating contour is developed to generate standing oscillation wave which characteristics are used as experimental data. To process those data, a mathematical model is developed to calculate the blade resonant frequency. Finally, the boundaries of the assured quality area are determined. Blade operation capacity analysis method will allow us to reduce the number of environmentally dangerous experiments.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper, we take the broad definition of tsunami (‘harbour wave’) to describe oscillations in the infragravity (IG) periods (between 30 and 300s) in ports and marinas that often lead to interruption in harbour operations due to excessive vessel movements. The main processes that lead to these oscillations (also called seiches) are examined through the analysis of field measurements of water levels and currents from Western Australia. In a port or marina with lengths of the order of 500m and depths of the order of 10m, the natural oscillation periods are of the order of a few minutes. Changes in water levels in the coastal ocean adjacent to the port can setup oscillations within the port at its natural frequency. This results in water level fluctuations and strong horizontal currents within the port. If the incoming forcing is close to the natural frequency of oscillation resonance conditions may arise resulting in increased agitation inside the port. In addition if the harbour oscillation periods coincide with natural period of moored vessels, harbour operations can be severely interrupted due to strong vessel movements damaging to mooring lines and fenders.

Full textAbstract:
Finite-amplitude, axially symmetric oscillations of small (0.2 mm) liquid droplets in a gaseous environment are studied, both experimentally and theoretically. When the amplitude of natural oscillations of the fundamental mode exceeds approximately 10% of the droplet radius, typical nonlinear effects like the dependence of the oscillation frequency on the amplitude, the asymmetry of the oscillation amplitude, and the interaction between modes are observed. As the amplitude decreases due to viscous damping, the oscillation frequency and the amplitude decay factor reach their asymptotical values predicted by linear theory. The initial behaviour of the droplet is described quite satisfactorily by a proposed nonlinear inviscid theoretical model.

Electro-rheological fluids (ERF) allow us to create «smart» devices. One of the basic directions of application of such materials is damping in oscillating systems. This work describes simulation model and offers the results of experimental research by rheological properties and damping characteristic of ERF. Control signal is defined by electric field intensity, which is changed within the bounds of 0…0.5 kV/mm. Amplitude of oscillation – up to 5 mm, oscillation frequency is modified within the bounds of 0.5…5 Hz. The logarithmic damping decrement and natural oscillation frequency of oscillating system, shear stress and viscosity of ERF are determined.

Full textAbstract:
Storms can be both destructive and valuable at the same time. They expose coastal areas to various risks but can also enhance the supply of wind energy and provide marine ecosystems with oxygen rich water. As the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is known to have a significant impact on the wind climate in Europe, investigating its interconnection to storm frequency and intensity under global warming circumstances in the Northern Baltic Sea region was of interest in this study. Wind speed data series of annual storm counts were obtained from five meteorological stations along with PC-based NAO values over the period 1960-2017. The data series were analysed in Microsoft Excel and modelled using a Poisson regression or negative binomial regression model in SPSS Statistics. The results display an unsystematic spatial pattern both in the association to the NAO as well as in the overall storm frequency. However, storm (≥ 21 m s-1) frequency has generally been decreasing, whereas the proportion of severe storms (≥ 24 m s-1) has slightly been increasing, suggesting a tendency toward stronger but fewer storms. Even though only certain data series display statistically significant findings (p ≤ .05), a majority of the winter storms and severe winter storms display a positive association, indicating that a higher NAOI is related to a greater number of winter storms. The spatial and temporal variability in the obtained results can partially be explained by storm tracks and prevalent wind directions. Nevertheless, inhomogeneities do presumably affect the wind speed observations through internal and external influences and changes related to the meteorological stations. Future research should, therefore, also consider integrating other storm related parameters, such as direct air pressure measurements, wave heights and storm surges, as well as implement different data homogenization methods and techniques.

Full textAbstract:
Lifeline for about one-sixth of the world’s population in the subcontinent, the Indian summer monsoon (ISM) is an integral part of the annual cycle of the winds (reversal of winds with seasons), coupled with a strong annual cycle of precipitation (wet summer and dry winter). For over a century, high socioeconomic impacts of ISM rainfall (ISMR) in the region have driven scientists to attempt to predict the year-to-year variations of ISM rainfall. A remarkably stable phenomenon, making its appearance every year without fail, the ISM climate exhibits a rather small year-to-year variation (the standard deviation of the seasonal mean being 10% of the long-term mean), but it has proven to be an extremely challenging system to predict. Even the most skillful, sophisticated models are barely useful with skill significantly below the potential limit on predictability. Understanding what drives the mean ISM climate and its variability on different timescales is, therefore, critical to advancing skills in predicting the monsoon. A conceptual ISM model helps explain what maintains not only the mean ISM but also its variability on interannual and longer timescales.The annual ISM precipitation cycle can be described as a manifestation of the seasonal migration of the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) or the zonally oriented cloud (rain) band characterized by a sudden “onset.” The other important feature of ISM is the deep overturning meridional (regional Hadley circulation) that is associated with it, driven primarily by the latent heat release associated with the ISM (ITCZ) precipitation. The dynamics of the monsoon climate, therefore, is an extension of the dynamics of the ITCZ. The classical land–sea surface temperature gradient model of ISM may explain the seasonal reversal of the surface winds, but it fails to explain the onset and the deep vertical structure of the ISM circulation. While the surface temperature over land cools after the onset, reversing the north–south surface temperature gradient and making it inadequate to sustain the monsoon after onset, it is the tropospheric temperature gradient that becomes positive at the time of onset and remains strongly positive thereafter, maintaining the monsoon. The change in sign of the tropospheric temperature (TT) gradient is dynamically responsible for a symmetric instability, leading to the onset and subsequent northward progression of the ITCZ. The unified ISM model in terms of the TT gradient provides a platform to understand the drivers of ISM variability by identifying processes that affect TT in the north and the south and influence the gradient.The predictability of the seasonal mean ISM is limited by interactions of the annual cycle and higher frequency monsoon variability within the season. The monsoon intraseasonal oscillation (MISO) has a seminal role in influencing the seasonal mean and its interannual variability. While ISM climate on long timescales (e.g., multimillennium) largely follows the solar forcing, on shorter timescales the ISM variability is governed by the internal dynamics arising from ocean–atmosphere–land interactions, regional as well as remote, together with teleconnections with other climate modes. Also important is the role of anthropogenic forcing, such as the greenhouse gases and aerosols versus the natural multidecadal variability in the context of the recent six-decade long decreasing trend of ISM rainfall.

Abstract This chapter will introduce a system that is fundamental to our understanding of more physical phenomena than any other. Although the “simple” harmonic oscillator seems to be only the combination of the most mundane components, the formalism developed to explain the behavior of a mass, spring, and damper is used to describe systems that range in size from atoms to oceans. Our investigation goes beyond the “traditional” treatments found in the elementary physics textbooks. For example, the introduction of damping will open a two-way street: a damping element (i.e., a mechanical resistance, Rm) will dissipate the oscillator’s energy, reducing the amplitudes of successive oscillations, but it will also connect the oscillator to the surrounding environment that will return thermal energy to the oscillator. The excitation of a harmonic oscillator by an externally applied force, displacement, or combination of the two will result in a response that is critically dependent upon the relationship between the frequency of excitation and the natural frequency of the oscillator and will introduce the critical concepts of mechanical impedance, resonance, and quality factor. Finally, the harmonic oscillator model will be extended to coupled oscillators that are represented by combinations of several masses and several springs.

Brain oscillations are present in the same form in all mammals and represent a fundamental aspect of neuronal computation, including the generation of movement patterns, speech, and music production. Neuronal oscillators readily entrain each other, making the exchange of messages between brain areas effective. Because all neuronal oscillations are based on inhibition, they can parse and concatenate neuronal messages, a prerequisite for any coding mechanism. This chapter discusses how the hierarchical nature of cross-frequency–coupled rhythms can serve as a scaffold for combining neuronal letters into words and words into sentences, thus providing a syntactic structure for information exchange.

Full textAbstract:
In this work, the authors propose a combined approach based on a controller architecture that is able to generate locomotion for a quadruped robot and a global optimization algorithm to generate head movement stabilization. The movement controllers are biologically inspired in the concept of Central Pattern Generators (CPGs) that are modelled based on nonlinear dynamical systems, coupled Hopf oscillators. This approach allows for explicitly specified parameters such as amplitude, offset and frequency of movement and to smoothly modulate the generated oscillations according to changes in these parameters. The overall idea is to generate head movement opposed to the one induced by locomotion, such that the head remains stabilized. Thus, in order to achieve this desired head movement, it is necessary to appropriately tune the CPG parameters. Three different global optimization algorithms search for this best set of parameters. In order to evaluate the resulting head movement, a fitness function based on the Euclidean norm is investigated. Moreover, a constraint-handling technique based on tournament selection was implemented.

The El Nino–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is one of the most important contributors to interannual variability on Earth (Diaz and Markgraf 2000). It is an aperiodic phenomenon that tends to reoccur within the range of 2 to 7 years, and it is manifest by the alternation of extreme warm (El Niño) and cold (La Niña) events. There is also evidence (Allen 2000) that the aperiodic ENSO phenomenon must be considered in conjunction with climate fluctuations at decadal to multidecadal time frames that may modulate ENSO’s lower frequency variability. Numerous studies show global climatic impacts associated with the ENSO phenomenon. Further, there is considerable evidence to indicate that ENSO impacts the climate of both middle and high latitudes, and a recent analysis (figure S.1, discussed below) provides a global picture of warm versus cold ENSO conditions. Consequently, it is not surprising that many LTER sites, from the Arctic to Antarctic, show evidence of ENSO-related fluctuations in environmental variables. The quasi-quintennial timescale of variability is second only to seasonal variability in driving worldwide weather patterns. Consequently, an important theme in part II is the worldwide influence of ENSO-related climate variability and the teleconnected spatial patterns of this variability. Also, a common theme for several ecosystems discussed in this section is their high sensitivity to small climatic changes that are subsequently amplified and cascaded through the system. For example, the narrow temperature threshold for an ice-to-water phase change may create a pronounced nonlinear ecosystem response to what is a relatively small temperature shift (as demonstrated for the McMurdo Dry Valleys). Or alternatively, this narrow temperature threshold may shift a sea ice–dominated ecosystem (Palmer LTER) to a more oceanic marine ecosystem by reducing the seasonality and magnitude of the sea ice habitat. Such nonlinear amplifications of small climatic changes can increase the ecological response and make it more detectable within the natural background of variability. We explore these themes here. To illustrate the global footprint of ENSO variability, composites of yearly averaged El Niño and La Niña conditions for surface air temperature (SAT) and sea surface temperature (SST, Reynolds and Smith 1994) were generated.

Full textAbstract:
The chapter discusses Robin Robertson’s poetry, stretched between the existential and the material, oscillating around edges, junctures and transitions. Focusing on legends and folk tales that are forged in the Scottish landscape, Robertson, for whom the sense of place is ‘absolutely crucial’, combines them with classical myths. The analysis centres around Robertson’s preoccupation with these themes, arguing that the inherent order of the world as evoked in his poems is governed by chaos and change. In various forms of being volatility dominates, occurring in transfigurations of the material world, standing against the claims about the inertness of matter. Vitality connects with epidermal vulnerability revealed in the poems’ frequent focus on metamorphosis. The apprehension of the temporality of the body is captured in Robertson’s enfolding of the subject into the seasonal cycle. The chapter thus investigates the corporeal drive as co-temporal with the rhythms of the non-human world.

The El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a coupled ocean–atmosphere phenomena that has a worldwide impact on climate. An aperiodic phenomena that reoccurs every 2 to 7 years, the ENSO is second only to seasonal variability in driving worldwide weather patterns. As Greenland notes in chapter 6, the term “quasi-quintennial” is chosen to recognize that climatic events other than ENSO-related events might occur at this timescale, although it is widely recognized that ENSO contributes the lion’s share of the higher frequency variability in paleorecords of the past several thousand years. In this section, we consider variability with cycles of 2 to 7 years and the resulting ecological response. Although we emphasize the ENSO timescale in this section, there is growing evidence that this phenomena is neither spatially nor temporally stable over longer time periods. Indeed, Allan (2000) suggests the ENSO climatic variability must be viewed within the context of climate fluctuations at decadal to interdecadal timescales, which often modulate the higher frequency ENSO variability. As a consequence, results in this and the next section often display overlapping patterns of variability, and their separation is not sharply defined. An important theme in this section is the worldwide influence of ENSO-related climate variability. Greenland (chapter 6) provides an LTER network overview with an analysis of ENSO-related variability of temperature and precipitation records for many LTER sites from the Arctic to the Antarctic. He discusses the general nature of ENSO and its climatic effects, summarizes previous climate-related work in the LTER network, and provides a cross-site analysis of the correlations between the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) and temperature and precipitation at LTER sites. His results are consistent with the expected patterns of the geography of ENSO effects on the climate. Greenland’s cross-site analysis provides the basis for studying climate variability and ecosystem response within the context of the series of framework questions that form an underlying theme for this volume. Brazel and Ellis (chapter 7) provide an excellent analysis of climate-related parameters within the context of ENSO indices. Reporting on the Central Arizona and Phoenix (CAP) LTER urban-rural ecosystem, these authors provide a comprehensive analysis linking water-related parameters to climate forcing, as indicated by these indexes. Their studies show a strong connection between ENSO and winter moisture in Arizona, perhaps making it possible to forecast impending conditions.

Although the primarily phenomenological theory of absorption and refraction of light by matter, based on classical models as presented in Chapter 4, is very useful, it is incomplete and often inadequate. A more complete and accurate picture of electrodynamics is given by the theory of quantum optics, and that is the topic of this chapter. The models developed in this chapter are more detailed and therefore more complicated than the phenomenological models of Chapter 4. The most robust models, which are applied in Part II, are presented in this chapter. The quantum models accurately represent experimental data and allow extrapolation and interpolation of such data. Many practical computer based models concerning optical propagation are based on this theory. The theory of elastic scatter as presented in Chapter 4 is consistent with quantum optics and is not presented again. (However, inelastic scatter must address the quantum nature of the scattering medium.) Quantum optics is not completely covered in this chapter. Entire textbooks are devoted to this diverse and comprehensive topic covering optics (see Refs. 5.1–5.3). The emphasis of this book is on absorption and reflection spectroscopy. Now details of internal structure of the medium impacting light–matter interaction are examined. The classical oscillator model is upgraded by semiclassical radiation theory and a quantum oscillator model is developed. Semiclassical radiation theory is based on a quantized medium coupled to a classical field. It is often applied to laser theory, where near-line-center stimulated emission dominates. The quantum oscillator model again utilizes the quantized medium and classical field, but with more attention to detailed balance between absorption and emission. It satisfies causality and the fundamental symmetry relationships established in Chapter 2. These quantum optics models are more complete formalisms and provide solutions to the shortcomings of classical electrodynamics. Of particular interest to propagation in gaseous media is the line shape in the far wing. To achieve long path lengths, propagation near line center of a resonance must be avoided. Line shape models in quantum optics accurately represent much of the frequency and temperature dependence observed in experimental data.

Full textAbstract:
Almost all the studies performed during the past century have shown that drought is not the result of a single cause. Instead, it is the result of many factors varying in nature and scales. For this reason, researchers have been focusing their studies on the components of the climate system to explain a link between patterns (regional and global) of climatic variability and drought. Some drought patterns tend to recur frequently, particularly in the tropics. One such pattern is the El Niño and Southern Oscillation (ENSO). This chapter explains the main characteristics of the ENSO and its data forms, and how this phenomenon is related to the occurrence of drought in the world regions. Originally, the name El Niño was coined in the late 1800s by fishermen along the coast of Peru to refer to a seasonal invasion of south-flowing warm currents of the ocean that displaced the north-flowing cold currents in which they normally fished. The invasion of warm water disrupts both the marine food chain and the economies of coastal communities that are based on fishing and related industries. Because the phenomenon peaks around the Christmas season, the fishermen who first observed it named it “El Niño” (“the Christ Child”). In recent decades, scientists have recognized that El Niño is linked with other shifts in global weather patterns (Bjerknes, 1969; Wyrtki, 1975; Alexander, 1992; Trenberth, 1995; Nicholson and Kim, 1997). The recurring period of El Niño varies from two to seven years. The intensity and duration of the event vary too and are hard to predict. Typically, the duration of El Niño ranges from 14 to 22 months, but it can also be much longer or shorter. El Niño often begins early in the year and peaks in the following boreal winter. Although most El Niño events have many features in common, no two events are exactly the same. The presence of El Niño events during historical periods can be detected using climatic data interpreted from the tree ring analysis, sediment or ice cores, coral reef samples, and even historical accounts from early settlers.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The aim of this computational study is the investigation of the effects of the transverse oscillations of a cylinder on the flow pattern and on the hydrodynamic forces exerted on the body. The finite element technique was used for the solution, which comprised numerical flow visualization and evaluation of the hydrodynamic forces, at a constant Reynolds number equal to 106. The cylinder oscillation frequency was varying between 0.8 and 1.2 of the natural shedding frequency, and the oscillation amplitude was equal to 40% of the cylinder diameter. For values of the cylinder oscillation frequency lower or equal than the natural shedding frequency the vortex pattern is similar to that observed for a fixed cylinder, whereas for higher, a more complicated aperiodic pattern is obtained. The effects of the frequency of the cylinder oscillation on the lift force, the phase angle between the lift and the cylinder displacement and on the timing of vortex shedding are also discussed.

The aim of this research is to predict the interaction of neonates suffering from Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) with high frequency pressure oscillations (HFPO) such as those produced by a bubble oscillation (BO) system. Many different postulations exist as to why pressure oscillations enhance respiratory performance; however, the scope of this work focuses on the speculation that the vibrations produced by the pressure oscillations cause the neonatal airway walls to resonate at their natural frequencies, thereby helping to relax the respiratory walls and give the neonate a better chance of recovery.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Vortex shedding resonance of a circular cylinder wake to a forced rotational oscillation has been investigated experimentally by measuring the velocity fluctuations in the wake, pressure distributions over the cylinder surface, and visualizing the flow field with respect to cylinder oscillations. The vortex shedding resonance occurs near the natural shedding frequency at small-amplitude of cylinder oscillations, while the peak resonance frequency shifts to a lower one with an increase in oscillation amplitude. The estimated drag and lift forces acting on the cylinder indicate that the phase lag of fluid forces to the cylinder oscillations increases with an increase in oscillation amplitude, supporting the change of resonance frequency with oscillation amplitude. The comparative study of the measured pressure distributions and the simultaneous flow visualizations with respect to cylinder rotation shows the mechanisms of phase lag, which is due to the strengthened vortex formation and the modification of the surface pressure distributions.

Vortex induced vibration or widely known as VIV, is a very complex hydrodynamic phenomenon. There are relatively very few experimental and numerical references for oscillating pair of cylinders because of the early assumption that the interference between the two cylinders is weak and thus each of the cylinders may have the same behavior as found in the case of a single cylinder, but recent researches showed this assumption was not true. For tandem arrangement, several parameters govern the nature of VIV of downstream cylinders, such as spacing, upstream cylinders VIV amplitude etc. The nature of downstream cylinders response isn’t same as classical VIV or WIV (wake induced vibration). Oscillation frequency of a cylinder subjected to flow induced vibration is one of the important characteristics Oscillation frequency is highly dependent on natural frequency of the cylinder. By changing spring stiffness or mass ratio, natural frequency can be altered. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of upstream cylinder’s oscillation frequency on the vibration of downstream cylinder. Numerical simulations have been conducted to understand the nature of vortex induced vibration (VIV) of a pair cylinder in tandem arrangement at high Reynolds numbers. Cylinders were subjected to uniform flows in sub-critical flow regime and have been allowed to oscillate in cross flow direction only. The spacing between the upstream and downstream cylinders was four times of the cylinder diameter. The oscillation frequency of the upstream cylinder has been altered by varying the mass ratio of the upstream cylinder. It was found that for same Reynolds number, downstream cylinder’s VIV amplitude is increased quite significantly if the upstream cylinder oscillates relatively slowly. The shear stress transport detached eddy turbulence model has been used for simulating the turbulent flow around the two cylinders. An advanced mesh movement known as “mesh morphing” model was employed to lessen the requirement for re-meshing which help to increase the accuracy of the prediction. Calculation of accurate results due to large domain deformations was achieved by re-positioning existing mesh points. The numerical results of a single cylinder subjected to one degree of freedom (1DOF) vibration have been compared with the available experimental results to validate the present study. The study is important in terms of designing VIVACE (Vortex Induced Vibration for Aquatic Clean Energy) converter for low speed current. In recent past, multiple cylinders have been used for VIVACE converter. So, the study of VIV of two equal-diameter cylinders in tandem arrangement at low current speed is very significant.

Many structures such as automobile bodies, bridges and buildings are subjected to external forces due to the nature of the environment in which they exist. When the external excitation frequency is similar to the structure’s natural frequency a resonance effect is generated, increasing the energy and the amplitude of the oscillation, often causing catastrophic situations. This paper presents a method to decrease such resonant oscillations using magnetorheological dampers.

Natural circulation has been widely used in some evolutionary and innovative nuclear power plants. Natural circulation systems are susceptible to flow instabilities which are undesirable in the nuclear power devices. An experimentally investigation of two phase flow instability in up-flow boing channel under natural circulation is presented in this paper. Flow instability with and without flow reversal have been found. A pulse signal of water temperature at the inlet of the test section can be detected when the channel suffers from flow reversal. Single phase and two phase flow alternate in the channel regardless of the occurrence of flow reversal. Periodic oscillations with multiple high-order harmonic waves are confirmed by applying Fast Fourier Transform to the time traces of flow rates. Period of flow instability which is the reciprocal of the frequency with the largest amplitude in the amplitude-frequency plane are obtained. Period of flow oscillation presents a nonlinear change with the increase of mass flux. Period of flow instability increases rapidly with the increase of mass flux and decreases slowly when it reaches the maximum value.

Full textAbstract:
For a turret-moored Floating Liquefied Natural Gas Plant (FLNG), it is important to use confidently derived low frequency viscous damping coefficients in the prediction of its motions and mooring loads in wind, wave and current conditions. In this paper we present our recent experimental work on the low frequency sway and yaw viscous damping in calm water and in current. In general, damping force is a relatively small portion of the total hydrodynamic force on an oscillatory model. In a previous ExxonMobil damping test in calm water (Huang et al., 2010), i.e. without current and wave, a deeply submerged double-body model was forced to oscillate to avoid surface wave contamination. An inertia compensation system was also designed to cancel the inertia force and the restoring force during oscillations, then the measured force was mainly damping force. Because of the schedule constraints of the present study, it was not possible to perform the submerged oscillation test. Instead, a forced oscillation test in water surface was performed based on KC-number and β-number. In order to obtain reliable damping coefficients, we had to carefully design the test conditions, i.e. current speeds, oscillation amplitudes and frequencies so that an adequate portion of damping force within the total force could be achieved with no significant surface waves that could contaminate the damping results being generated by the oscillating model. Good damping results were obtained. To check the acceptance of the test method based on Froude scaling, a limited number of tests were performed in which the oscillation amplitudes and frequencies were scaled down based on the Froude scaling. Magnitudes of the measured force and moment are significantly low. The time series of the measurements have drifting and significant noise. We could not confidently determine viscous damping results from the measurements.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper we report on experimental investigation of co-flow air velocity effects on the flickering behavior and stabilization mechanism of laminar natural gas diffusion flames (with more than 96% methane in the fuel composition). In this study, chemiluminescence and high speed photography along with digital image processing techniques have been used to study the change in global flame shape, the instability initiation point, the frequency and magnitude of the flame oscillation. It is found that the co-flow air is able to shift the location of the initiation point of the outer toroidal vortices created by Kevin Helmholtz types of instability. It then reaches a stage when outer toroidal vortices interact only with hot plume of gases further downstream of the visible flame. Once the toroidal structure is out of the flame zone the flickering of the flame will disappear naturally. This is in contrast with the effect of pressure which enhances formation and interaction of outer toroidal vortices with the flame due to essential changes at flow densities. It is observed that a higher co-flow rate is needed in order to suppress the flame flickering at a higher fuel flow rate. Therefore the ratio of the air velocity to the fuel velocity is a stability controlling parameter. It has been found that a non-lifted laminar diffusion flame can be stabilized with a co-flow air velocity even less than half of the fuel jet exit velocity. The oscillation frequency was observed to increase with the co-flow rate. The frequency amplitudes, however, were observed to continuously decrease as the co-flow air was increasing. The oscillation magnitude and the oscillation wavelength were observed to decrease towards zero as the co-flow air was increasing. Whereas the average oscillating flame height behavior was observed to be bimodal. It was initially enhanced by the co-flow air then starts to decrease towards the stabilized level. This height was observed to remain almost constant after stabilization, despite further increase at air flow rate.
