Apart from providing some new experimental data the paper reviews previous investigations
concerning fluctuating lift acting on a stationary circular cylinder in cross-flow. In particular …

This paper reviews the literature on the mathematical models used to investigate vortex-
induced vibration (VIV) of circular cylinders. Wake-oscillator models, single-degree-of …

THE field of fluid mechanics involves a range of rich and vibrant problems with complex
dynamics stemming from instabilities, nonlinearities, and turbulence. The analysis of these …

This book discusses the subject of wave/current flow around a cylinder, the forces induced
on the cylinder by the flow, and the vibration pattern of slender structures in a marine …

Two fundamental characteristics of the low-Reynolds-number cylinder wake, which have
involved considerable debate, are first the existence of discontinuities in the Strouhal …

The investigation is concentrated on two important quantities–the Strouhal number and the
mean base suction coefficient, both measured at the mid-span position. Reynolds numbers …

Results are reported from a highly accurate, global numerical stability analysis of the
periodic wake of a circular cylinder for Reynolds numbers between 140 and 300. The …

It is now well-known that the wake transition regime for a circular cylinder involves two
modes of small-scale three-dimensional instability (modes A and B), depending on the …

The variations of drag and base suction of circular cylinders and bluff plates over the range
of Reynolds number from 10 to 10 7 is discussed, with emphasis on the importance of the …

Aspect ratio effects on the vortex shedding flow from a circular cylinder have been studied by
using moveable end plates. Experiments were carried out to measure fluctuating forces …
