摘要
The asymmetric flow field around a rotating cylinder can produce a lateral force (lift) on the cylinder. This force has a wide application prospect in navigation and wind energy utilization. Studying aerodynamic characteristics of a rotating cylinder is of great significance for these applications. By measuring aerodynamic force and wake field of a rotating cylinder under different rotating speeds and wind speeds, aerodynamic characteristics of a rotating cylinder within different Reynolds number ranges were discussed here. The results showed that Reynolds number is an important factor to affect aerodynamic force of a rotating cylinder, the lift of a rotating cylinder in subcritical region mainly reveals Magnus effect, it points to the side of tangential velocity and wind speed with the same direction, and increases with increase in rotating speed ratio; in critical region, cylinder rotating can induce reattachment of fluid at the side of tangential velocity direction being opposite to that of wind speed to form a lift pointing to this side, with increase in rotating speed, the lift can't vary obviously; rotating speed can affect Reynolds number effect, with increase in rotating speed, Reynolds number with resistance loss can become smaller, and the range of Reynolds number with reattachment phenomenon can become larger. © 2022, Editorial Office of Journal of Vibration and Shock.
