Abstract

Acoustic resonance in closed side branches should be enhanced to improve the efficiency of wind energy harvesting equipment or thermo-acoustic engine. However, in gas pipeline transportation systems, this kind of acoustic resonance should be suppressed to avoid fatigue damage to the pipeline. Realizable k-ε delayed detached eddy simulations (DDES) were conducted to study the effect of different branch pipe shapes on acoustic resonance. At some flow velocities, the pressure amplitude of the simulation results is twice as large as that of the experimental results, but the simulation can accurately capture the flow velocity range where acoustic resonance occurs. The results prove the feasibility of the method of the equivalent diameter of the circular cross-section pipe and the square cross-section pipe to predict acoustic resonance. The pressure pulsation amplitude of acoustic resonance in a square cross-section pipe is significantly increased than that in a circular square cross-section pipe, indicating that the square cross-section branch configuration can be more conducive to improving the efficiency of wind energy harvesting. The influence of the angle between the branch and the main pipe on the acoustic resonance was studied for the first time, which has an obvious influence on the acoustic resonance. It is found that the design of a square wind energy harvester is better than that of a circular one; meanwhile, changing the branch angle can increase or suppress the acoustic resonance, which can improve the utilization efficiency of the acoustic resonance and provide a new method for suppressing the acoustic resonance.
