Abstract

The present study numerically evaluates vortex-induced vibration (VIV) for an electrically conductive fluid around a cylinder on an elastic support. The flow is subjected to a uniform magnetic field in the z-direction to evaluate the VIV attenuation performance of this open-loop active control method. To analyze this fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problem, the finite volume method (FVM) was employed based on the SIMPLE algorithm to solve the governing continuity and momentum equations of the fluid flow and an explicit integration method to solve the motion equations of the rigid structure. Simulations were carried out at reduced velocities of 2-9 and different Stuart numbers. The simulation results demonstrated that the magnetic field was significantly effective and wholly (100%) suppressed transverse and longitudinal VIVs. A rise in the magnetic field magnitude eliminated vortex shedding for all the reduced velocities, leading to a symmetric wake. The symmetric vortex even disappeared above the critical Stuart number.
