TL;DR: In this article, the authors present new experimental results of Vortex-Induced Vibration (VIV) on inclined cylinders, mounted on a low damping air-bearing elastic base with one degree of freedom, constrained to oscillate only in the transverse direction to a free stream.

TL;DR: In this paper, experiments on the flow around stationary circular cylinders with very low aspect ratio piercing the water free surface were carried out in a recirculating water channel, where eight different aspect ratios were tested, namely L / D = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0., 0.5, 0, 1.0 and 2.0; no endplates were employed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the validity of the Independence principle for properly describing the flow characteristics and the dynamics of structures subjected to oblique flow in VIV experiments with yaw cylinders.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented numerical investigations into the dynamics of a rigid cylinder, mounted on elastic supports fitted with piezoelectric harvesters and subjected to the Vortex-Induced Vibrations (VIV) phenomenon.

TL;DR: In this paper, experiments were carried out in a recirculating water channel over the range of Reynolds number 6000 in order to have a better understanding of the physics involved in vortex-induced motions of floating bodies such as offshore platforms.
