Vortex Spoilers Do Not Work to Suppress Pulsations Generated by Turning Flows Into a Side Branch Against a Deadleg
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Abstract Turning flow into side branches against a deadleg along the main run can generate high levels of pulsations if the piping system acoustic resonance frequency matches closely the flow generated instabilities within the T-junction characterized by specific Strouhal number (St) that is function of the branch to main run diameters ratio (d/D). In order to suppress these pulsations, vortex spoilers (aka vortex breakers), akin to those employed and inserted inside the side branch to suppress pulsations generated due to flow past side branches, have been considered. The difference lies in the fact that these spoilers would have to be placed in the main-run close to the downstream trailing edge of the T-junction. Three spoilers of different geometries and characteristics were designed and tested experimentally on a high-pressure natural gas test setup at a pressure range of 4–5 MPa, mean gas velocities of 6–36 m/s in a DN100 piping arrangement and for d/D = 1.0. These spoilers are flat plate, perforated plate, and cross-plates all of length = 2.1D. Tests were carried out at different positions of the respective spoilers in relation of the T-junction intended to interfere and suppress the coherent vorticity generation and its interaction with the mean flow velocity and acoustic fields according to Howe acoustic source power theory. The paper presents details of the test setup, data collected, analysis of the normalized pulsation amplitude (P*) vs. St number and effectiveness of each of the three spoilers at three different positions inside the main run. It was found that the maximum amplitude of P* without spoilers was reached at St number approximately equals to 0.12 which is close to published data. However, none of the tested three spoilers was effective in suppressing the level of pulsations irrespective of their placement position inside the main run. It appears that due to the fact that the flow has to turn into the side branch, a high degree of shearing resulting in regions of high vorticity generation, combined with the predominant direction of the mean flow into to the side branch, all of which contribute to the acoustic power source, regardless of any interference or potential interference brought about by any spoiler. Complementary unsteady CFD simulations were also conducted on a similar experimental setup on air under well-defined flow and acoustic boundary conditions published in IMECE 2021. The combined experimental and CFD simulations concluded with that vortex spoilers appear to be of no use in suppressing pulsations generated by turning flows into a side branch against a deadleg at least in the range of spoiler placement positions studied.
