Özet

In this study, the flow characteristic of the circular cylinder laid on the free surface is studied quantitatively using the particle image velocimetry technique. The flow phenomena in the upstream and downstream regions of the horizontal cylinder and free surface junctions increase the instability of the vortical flow structure significantly. Since the scour and burial process of the pipelines laid on the seabed depends mostly on the hydrodynamic behavior of the flow, the present investigation concentrates on the characterization of the flow structures using the time-averaged and instantaneous flow data. Distributions of velocity vectors, patterns of streamlines, vorticity contours and corresponding Reynolds stress correlations characterize the flow structure in detail. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
