Details

Three-dimensional Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) and physical experiments using a Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) technique has been carried out to investigate the nonlinear streaming flows generated by a sphere driven in unidirectional simple harmonic motion in quiescent fluid. The understanding of these streaming flows around an oscillating sphere is very significant; apart from being a key aspect of fundamental research, they are also of high relevance to some interesting hydrodynamics. In coastal and offshore engineering, the presence of any structure at sea will impact the local hydrodynamics of the site and therefore the local sediment dynamics. In particular, waves can create mean or streaming flows. Thus, it becomes necessary to understand not only the wave generated hydrodynamic forces acting on the structures but also the mean hydrodynamic pressure fields and fluid velocity fields around the structure which would be fully three-dimensional. The purpose of the present analysis is to quantify the dynamic interactions of submerged spherical structures with ocean waves. In this presentation, the nonlinear streaming flows around an oscillating sphere at higher Reynolds numbers will be discussed. Real Money Rummy proposal and some preliminary results will also be discussed along with the future work plans.
