Numerical Investigation of Vortex-Induced Vibrations of a Rotating Cylinder near a Plane Wall
Numerical simulations are carried out to investigate the vortex-induced vibrations of a two-degree-of-freedom (2DOF) near-wall rotating cylinder. Considering the effects of gap ratio, reduced velocity and rotational rate, the amplitude response, wake ...

Numerical simulation of the airflow–rivulet interaction associated with the rain-wind induced vibration phenomenon [PDF]
Rain-wind induced vibration is an aeroelastic phenomenon that occurs on the inclined cables of cable-stayed bridges. The vibrations are believed to be caused by a complicated nonlinear interaction between rivulets of rain water that run down the cables ...

Experimental investigation of the flow-induced vibration of a curved cylinder in convex and concave configurations [PDF]
Experiments have been conducted to investigate the two-degree-of-freedom vortex-induced vibration (VIV) response of a rigid section of a curved circular cylinder with low mass-damping ratio.

Modelling of coupled cross-flow/in-line vortex-induced vibrations using double Duffing and van der Pol oscillators [PDF]
Many studies have typically applied a linear structural spring–mass–damper oscillator and a van der Pol wake oscillator to model a one-dimensional cross-flow vortex-induced vibration (VIV).

The galloping of a 4:1 rectangular cylinder at Re = 300
The flow-induced vibration (FIV) of a rectangular cylinder with a side ratio of 4 at Re = 300 is numerically investigated by a two-dimensional spectral-element method. The cylinder is constrained to vibrate only in the cross-flow direction.
