Fluid-structure interaction behaviors of tension membrane roofs by fully-coupled numerical simulation
Abstract This study aims to investigate fluid-structure interaction (FSI) behaviors of an enclosed-type tension membrane flat roof. The roof with rectangular shape is chosen as the object because of its relatively idealized geometry for FSI analysis, which is a simplified shape compared to typical membrane roofs. Fully-coupled numerical simulations are performed to obtain the wind induced vibration, aerodynamic forces and surrounding flow field of the tension membrane roof structure, where large-eddy simulation (LES) is used for solving of the flow field, non-linear membrane elements are adopted for the structure field and partitioned algorithm is applied for the coupling between the flow and membrane vibration. The numerical simulations are validated by the aero-elastic experimental results. The characteristics of the wind-induced displacements and aerodynamic forces of the tension membrane roof are investigated in both time and frequency domains. The energy transfer characteristics between wind and the vibrating roof are investigated based on the phase analysis between the generalized forces and displacements of the membrane roof. The underlying mechanism of the modal-jump phenomena that the vibration mode of the membrane jumps from the first mode to the second mode with increasing wind velocity, as well as the instability mechanism of the tension membrane roof, are revealed by flow visualizations and unsteady aerodynamic forces identifications. It is found that the aero-elastic instability of the flat membrane roof is a kind of vortex-induced vibration (VIV), where the modal-jump phenomena and unstable vibration of the membrane roof occur with the occurrence of negative aerodynamic damping, induced by the interaction between the vortex transporting and the roof motion.
Highlights The FSI behaviors of the tension membrane roof are elucidated. The energy transfer mechanisms between the flow field and the vibrating roof is in detail elucidated. The underlying mechanisms of the modal-jump phenomenon and the aerodynamic instability are revealed.
