Description
Summary:The flow pattern and transient response of a spinning cylinder partially filled with fluid are investigated in this paper. A two-dimensional finite element model of the fluid domain in the cylinder cavity is developed via the structured tetrahedral element. By using the volume of fluid model, the flow pattern of the liquid is examined numerically. Also, the effects of fluid type, rotating speed, and liquid height on the flow pattern are investigated. Then, the obtained fluid pressure exerted on the inner wall of the cylinder is considered as the input load, and transient dynamic analysis of the spinning liquid-filled cylinder is carried out. Finally, a comprehensive parametric study is conducted to evaluate the effects of liquid type, spinning speed, and fluid height on the dynamical behavior of the system. The results show that these parameters greatly influence the fluid flow pattern and dynamic characteristics of the spinning liquid-filled cylinder system.
