Numerical Simulation on VIV of a Spring-Mounted Rigid Cylinder through Fully Coupling with Fluid

Abstract:

In this paper, the fluid and structure model are fully coupled and put into FSI solver to calculate simultaneously to predict vortex-induced vibration. Multiple iterative calculations are needed in each time step and the fluid and structure model perform the next step calculation until satisfy the requirement of accuracy, which is different from conventional method used to simulate VIV. The present results agree well with the experimental results of other researchers.
