The dynamics of slender cantilevered cylinders subjected to internal or external axial flow
has been studied extensively from the 1960s onwards. In the early studies, the flow was …

This study presents a simulation method for turbulent flow-induced vibrations of cantilever
rods with a semi-spherical end exposed to axial flow, a configuration investigated for the first …

The interaction between cooling fluid and solid structures (rods, tubes) in nuclear power
plants may lead to flow-induced vibrations (FIV), causing material fatigue, fretting wear, and …

Experimental tests accessing both fluid and structure behaviors are mandatory for a
consistent and comprehensive assessment of fluid–structure interaction (FSI) numerical …

The influence of tip shape on flow-induced vibration of a cantilever rod subjected to axial
water flow is experimentally investigated, through optical tracking of the rod movement and …
