For flow-induced vibration of a rounded-square cylinder under the effect proximity interference by stationary splitter plate downstream, numerical study is presented for various corner-radius R(0.1−0.5), reduced velocity U*(2−12.5), cylinder-plate gap G*(0.3,2.0), Reynolds number Re = 100, mass ratio M*=1, damping coefficient ζ=0.005, plate-length L*=1, and plate-thickness t*=0.05. R, vortex-in...

The vibration of an elastic beam experiencing vortex-induced vibration is numerically analyzed through a wake-oscillator model using the finite differences method. The influence of the excited mode, the initial velocity, the shedding pulsation and the mass ratio on the energy transfer among modes and the vibration amplitude is determined. Multiple frequencies are detected, and the power spectra...

The VIV of a circular cylinder was first reproduced in a wind tunnel by using a spring–mass s...

Flow and flow-induced vibration of a square array of cylinders are investigated by two-dimensional numerical simulations. Flow past 36 cylinders in an inline arranged square array and 33 cylinders in a staggered arranged square array is firstly simulated, for Re=100 and the spacing ratios of L/D=1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5. Only one vortex street is observed in the wake of the cylinder array when the spaci...

Submarine pipelines are appropriate method for transmission of oil and gas from sea bed. Free spans may occur due to the natural uneven seabed or by under-scouring. Vortex Induced Vibration (VIV) can happen in such free spans at high Reynolds number. Resonance occurs if the frequency of vortex shedding is close to the pipeline’s natural frequency leading to its fatigue that can break the pipeli...

A generalized variational equation based on the extended Hamilton’s principle is presented as the starting point for a procedure from which wake-body models for the two-dimensional vortex-induced vibration of a cylinder can be derived. The case of an elastically mounted cylinder with a transverse degree-of-freedom in a uniform flow is offered as a ‘‘model problem’’ through which this derivation...

This paper describes an experimental, theoretical model and numerical study of concentrated vortex flow past a sphere in a hydraulic check valve. The phenomenon of the rotation of the ball around the axis of the device through which liquid flows has been found. That is, due to the rotation of the sphere in the check valve vibration is caused. We observe the rotation of the sphere around the lon...
