Abstract

En 中文
This work uncovers a counterintuitive effect of structural damping on vortex-induced vibrations (VIV). The influence of structural damping is examined numerically in the canonical problem usually considered to study these vibrations driven by flow-body synchronisation; i.e. a circular cylinder free to oscillate within a uniform cross-current; for Reynolds numbers up to that marks the onset of flow unsteadiness for a fixed body. The enhancement of VIV by structural damping is interpreted in light of the distribution of fluid–structure energy transfer in the amplitude–frequency domain. Such an enhancement is a counterintuitive but general phenomenon; which is shown to persist along curvilinear trajectories and when a structural restoring force is added to the system.
