Galerkin force model for transient and post-transient dynamics of the fluidic pinbal

Abstract

We propose an aerodynamic force model associated with a Galerkin model for the unforced fluidic pinball, the two-dimensional flow around three equal cylinders with one radius distance to each other. The starting point is a Galerkin model of a bluff-body flow. The force on this body is derived as a constant-linear-quadratic function of the mode amplitudes from first principles following the pioneering work of Noca (1997, 1999) and Liang & Dong (2014). The force model is simplified for the mean-field model of the unforced fluidic pinball (Deng et al. 2020) using symmetry properties and sparse calibration. The model is successfully applied to transient and post-transient dynamics in different Reynolds number regimes: the periodic vortex shedding after the Hopf-bifurcation and the asymmetric vortex shedding after the pitchfork bifurcation comprising six different Navier-Stokes solutions. We foresee many applications of the Galerkin force model for other bluff bodies and flow control.
