Flow-induced vibration (FIV) of a flexible cylinder with an upstream wake interference at subcritical Reynolds number is numerically investigated in this study. Two cylinders are installed tandem arrangement the separation between centers set 5.0 diameters. The downstream and placed stationary rigid cylinder. A quasi-three-dimensional fluid-structure interaction (FSI) numerical methodology that...

Vortex-Induced Vibrations (VIV) offer a safe, renewable, and environmentally friendly energy source for harvesting. To enhance the energy-harvesting capability of circular cylinder-based devices, authors explore placement normal slit by determining most effective slit-offset location from cylinder's center. Using open-source computational fluid dynamics program OpenFOAM, series numerical simula...

Sutureless aortic valve implantation has emerged as an innovative alternative for treatment of aortic stenosis. By avoiding the placement of sutures, this approach aims to improve surgical outcomes by facilitating less traumatic minimally invasive approaches and reducing cross-clamp and cardiopulmonary bypass duration. However, the absence of sutures may have detrimental effects after sutureles...

Article history: Received: 27.6.2015. Received in revised form: 26.11.2015. Accepted: 1.12.2015. This paper presents experimental and numerical study with the objective of exploring the effect of suction control on vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of a bridge deck. The vertical and torsional responses of the model with or without suction control during this experiment were measured. The results d...

An elastically mounted circular cylinder, immersed in a cross-current and free to move along rectilinear path, is subjected vortex-induced vibrations (VIV). These develop through mechanism referred as lock-in, where body motion vortex shedding synchronize at frequency that may deviate both from the oscillator natural past fixed cylinder. The present numerical study aims extending analysis curve...
