Computational studies on pressure distribution around a bending 5:1 rectangular cylinder (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Nguyen, D. T., Hargreaves, D., & Owen, J. Computational studies on pressure distribution around a bending 5:1 rectangular cylinder. Presented at 8th International Colloquium on Bluff Body Aerodynamics and Applications

This paper describes the development and testing of a numerical model, based around the Large Eddy Simulation model, of a flexible 5:1 rectangular cylinder. We report on the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of the bending cylinder, which is an analogue...

Wind tunnel studies of pressure distribution around a 5:1 rectangular cylinder (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Nguyen, D. T., Owen, J., & Hargreaves, D. Wind tunnel studies of pressure distribution around a 5:1 rectangular cylinder. Presented at 8th International Colloquium on Bluff Body Aerodynamics and Applications

In this paper, a wind tunnel study is described focusing on analysing the pressure distribution and correlation around both static and dynamic 5:1 rectangular cylinders in smooth and turbulent flow. Results from the static tests highlighted the signi... Read More about Wind tunnel studies of pressure distribution around a 5:1 rectangular cylinder.

Computational studies of pressure distribution around a 5:1 rectangular section in turbulent flow (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Nguyen, D. T., Hargreaves, D., & Owen, J. Computational studies of pressure distribution around a 5:1 rectangular section in turbulent flow. Presented at 14th International Conference on Wind Engineering

This paper presents a numerical method based on a LES approach to modelling the unsteady flow around and the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of a 5:1 rectangular cylinder in the smooth and turbulent flow. A fluid-structure interaction algorithm was al... Read More about Computational studies of pressure distribution around a 5:1 rectangular section in turbulent flow.

Application of 2D URANS in fluid structure interaction problems of rectangular cylinders (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Nieto, F., Hargreaves, D., Owen, J., & Hernández, S. (2014, July). Application of 2D URANS in fluid structure interaction problems of rectangular cylinders. Presented at AFM2014, A Coruña, Spain

© 2014 WIT Press. In this work the authors have studied the applicability of the 2D URANS approach adopting a block structured mesh and Menter’s SST k-omega turbulence model for the aspect ratio 4 rectangular cylinder. As a first step, a verification... Read More about Application of 2D URANS in fluid structure interaction problems of rectangular cylinders.
