- Abstract
We used a second-order approximation for the periodic lift coefficient of a circular cylinder under monofrequency and bifrequency cross-flow motions. Two lock-in modes exist under monofrequency fundamental (i.e., near the Strouhal number) motion. In the first mode, the work is done by the flow on the cylinder, whereas in the second mode the work is done by the cylinder on the flow. Under monofrequency superharmonic (i.e., near three times the Strouhal number) motion, the work is always done on the flow. We then replaced the monofrequency motions by a bifrequency one, consisting of a fundamental term combined with a small-magnitude superharmonic term. We examined the effect of the magnitude and phase of the superharmonic motion term on the two modes of lock-in which we obtained when only the fundamental motion term is applied, considering two different frequencies that belonged to the two lock-in modes. Under the bifrequency motion, the work can be done on the flow or on the cylinder. This can be controlled using the superharmonic motion term, even when its magnitude is 5% of magnitude of the fundamental motion term. Other flow variables, such as the magnification of the lift, can be remarkably altered through the added superharmonic motion term. The phase of the third superharmonic lift-coefficient component relative to the fundamental one is the most responsive variable to the phase of the superharmonic motion component relative to the fundamental one.
