Vortex dynamics of tandem bare and spiral finned cylinders in cross-flow and their susceptibility to acoustic resonance excitation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The vortex dynamics of tandem bare and spiral finned cylinders in the cross flow are experimentally investigated at a spacing ratio of L/Deq=2. Three different fin pitch-to-root diameter ratios (p/Dr) are considered. For high p/Dr, the fins on the downstream cylinder inhibit the shear layer growth and flapping in the cylinders' gap. Shear layer flapping is only observed for finned cylinders with the lowest p/Dr. Moreover, the gap shear layers enclose the downstream cylinder, enabling the formation of large vortex cores. The flow characteristics of finned cylinders are found to be independent of the Reynolds number with higher values of the Strouhal number due to an enlarged vortex formation length. For tandem bare cylinders, acoustic resonance excitation is triggered by two sources: (1) shear layer flapping in the cylinders' gap and (2) vortex shedding in the wake of the cylinders. All the tandem finned cylinders were able to excite acoustic resonance by the latter source. However, only tandem finned cylinders with the lowest p/Dr were capable of exciting resonance by the former source. During this excitation, weaker shear layer flapping resulted in the formation of smaller vortex cores in the finned cylinders' gap. During the second resonance, single vortex pairs formed per cycle in the wake of the downstream finned cylinder, whereas two vortex pairs formed per cycle in the wake of the downstream bare cylinder. This work shows that the addition of fins changes the impinging flow mechanism and the flow topology, which cannot be captured using the equivalent diameter approach.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
