Abstract:

Experiments on flow induced vibration of a rectangular flat plate with two ends fixed in a confined channel are conducted, and vibration response characteristics of the plate are obtained. The results show that the main physical mechanisms of vibration are turbulent-induced vibration and vortex-induced vibration. The turbulence excites the response of the first natural frequency of plate and is amplified with the increasing flow velocity. The frequency of vortex-induced vibration shows a linear increase with the flow velocity, and the Strouhal number Sr=0.24 within the test range. The ‘lock-in’ phenomenon and resonance occur when the vortex shedding frequency approaches the natural frequency, and non-linear frequency-doubling response appears. The first natural frequency of the flat plate shows no obvious trend with changes in flow velocity. In addition, the wet modal analysis based on acoustic-solid coupling method were conducted and the predicted results show a good agreement with the experimental values.

Key words: rectangular flat plat, flow-induced vibration, wet modal, acoustic-solid coupling
