Simulation Calculation of New Steel Tube Structure based on Vortex-Induced Vibration Control Technology of Steel Tube Tower

Abstract

This paper proposes a new three-tube structure to replace the original steel tube. The vortex-induced vibration of the three-tube structure is simulated by two-way fluid-structure coupling. With the control variable method, the simulation calculation of multiple groups of three-pipe structures under uniform incoming flow at different wind speeds is carried out. By analyzing the vortex kinetic energy diagram and displacement diagram, the best outer diameter and tube center distance of the three-tube structure to suppress vortex-induced vibration in the leeward direction are obtained. By summarizing the situation of a symmetrical vortex, the conditions of the symmetrical vortex are understood. Then, by comparing the amplitude of the vortex-induced vibration of the original structure with that of the three-tube structure, the three-tube structure is further optimized to obtain a new structural design that can effectively control vortex-induced vibration.
