Journal ArticleDOI
Vortex Dynamics in the Cylinder Wake
TL;DR: A review of wake vortex dynamics can be found in this article, with a focus on the three-dimensional aspects of nominally two-dimensional wake flows, as well as the discovery of several new phenomena in wakes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vortex-induced vibrations
TL;DR: In this paper, a review summarizes fundamental results and discoveries concerning vortex-induced vibration (VIV) that have been made over the last two decades, many of which are related to the push to explore very low mass and damping, and to new computational and experimental techniques that were hitherto not available.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vortex formation in the wake of an oscillating cylinder
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the acceleration of the cylinder each half cycle induces the roll-up of the two shear layers close to the body, and thereby the formation of four regions of vorticity each cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oblique and Parallel Modes of Vortex Shedding in the Wake of a Circular Cylinder at Low Reynolds Numbers
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the Strouhal discontinuity is not due to any of the previously proposed mechanisms, but instead is caused by a transition from one oblique shedding mode to another oblique mode.
Journal ArticleDOI
Motions, forces and mode transitions in vortex-induced vibrations at low mass-damping
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that there exist two distinct types of response in a very low mass and damping regime, depending on whether one has a low combined mass-damping parameter (low m*ζ), or a high mass-ding parameter (highm*δ).
