dc.description.abstract | Maritime structures often comprise cylinders of small diameter relative to the prevailing wave length. This paper describes the direct forcing immersed boundary simulation of the hydroelastic behaviour of a rigid, horizontal circular cylinder in regular progressive waves. Fluid motions are numerically solved by the full Navier–Stokes equations, and the free surface by the volume-of-fluid method. The Reynolds number Re = 110, Keulegan–Carpenter number KC = 10, Froude number Fr = 0.69 and Ursell number U rs ≈ 12. A single-degree-of-freedom model is used for the elastically mounted cylinder. Velocity profiles for the stationary cylinder case have been successfully validated using experimental results. The frequency response for reduced velocities $4.5\lt {U}_{R}^{*}\lt 5.3$ have been compared with theoretical data. Three transverse vibration regimes are identified: lower beating ($4\lt {U}_{R}^{*}\lt 4.5$); lock-in ($4.7\lt {U}_{R}^{*}\lt 4.8$); and upper beating ($5\lt {U}_{R}^{*}\lt 10$) modes. The lower and upper beating regimes exhibit varying amplitude response. The lock-in mode represents the region of fixed and maximum response. The lower beating and lock-in modes have peaks at a common vibration to wave frequency ratio ${f}_{{\rm{w}}}^{*}$ = 2. For the upper beating mode, ${f}_{{\rm{w}}}^{*}$ = 1, except for ${U}_{R}^{*}=10$ when ${f}_{{\rm{w}}}^{*}$ = 2. | en_US |
