TLDR
The current understanding of the flow around two infinite circular cylinders of equal diameter immersed in a steady cross-flow, with a focus on the near-wake flow patterns, Reynolds number effects, intermediate wake structure and behaviour, and the general trends in the measurements of the aerodynamic force coefficients and Strouhal numbers are reviewed in this paper.

Circular cylinder wakes and vortex-induced vibrations

TL;DR: In this paper, a selective review of recent research on vortex-induced vibrations of isolated circular cylinders and the flow and vibration of circular cylinders in a tandem arrangement is presented, a common thread being that the topics raised are of particular interest to the author.

A review of recent studies on vortex-induced vibrations of long slender cylinders

TL;DR: A review of the progress made during the past decade on vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of long slender cylindrical structures is given in this article, where a brief outline is given of numerical methods used in predicting the response of a long slender cylinder undergoing VIV.
Journal ArticleDOI

Wake of two interacting circular cylinders: A review

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a compendium of previous studies from a perspective distinct from both Zdravkovich (1977) and Sumner (2010), and provide the full picture of the flow in terms of a number of regimes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fish and robots swimming together: attraction towards the robot demands biomimetic locomotion

TL;DR: A robotic fish and individual golden shiners swimming together in a water tunnel at different flow velocities are analyzed to find that biomimetic locomotion is a determinant of fish preference as fish are more attracted towards the robot when its tail is beating rather than when it is statically immersed in the water as a ‘dummy’.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vortex- and wake-induced vibrations of a tandem arrangement of two flexible circular cylinders with far wake interference

TL;DR: In this article, the dynamic response of two flexible cylinders in tandem arrangement partially immersed in a uniform flow is analyzed, and it has been confirmed that the main excitation mechanism is wake-induced vibration (WIV).

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.

Hydrodynamics around cylindrical structures

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss 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 environment.

An experimental investigation of the flow around a circular cylinder : influence of aspect ratio

TL;DR: In this article, the Strouhal number and the mean base suction coefficient were measured at the mid-span position Reynolds numbers from about 50 to 4 × 104 were investigated.

The effects of interference between circular cylinders in cross flow

TL;DR: In this article, an attempt is made to categorize various cluster arrangements in terms of the number of pipes (cylinders), their mutual spacing and orientation to the oncoming current.
