Modelling of coupled cross-flow and in-line vortex-induced vibrations of flexible cylindrical structures. Part I: model description and validation

This paper is first of the two papers dealing with the nonlinear modelling and investigation of coupled cross-flow and in-line vortex-induced vibrations (VIVs) of flexible cylindrical structures. As a continuation of the previous work (Qu and Metrikine in Ocean Eng 196:106732, 2020) where a new single wake oscillator model was proposed and...

A single van der pol wake oscillator model for coupled cross-flow and in-line vortex-induced vibrations

In this study a new wake oscillator model is proposed to describe the coupled cross-flow and in-line vortex-induced vibrations of an elastically supported rigid cylinder. Different from many other studies where two wake oscillators have been applied, the current model uses only one wake oscillator coupled to both cross-flow and in-line motions....

Modelling of coupled cross-flow and in-line vortex-induced vibrations of flexible cylindrical structures: Part II: on the importance of in-line coupling

To illustrate the influence of the in-line coupling on the prediction of vortex-induced vibration (VIV), the simulation results of the coupled cross-flow and in-line VIVs of flexible cylinders- obtained with three different wake oscillator models with and without the in-line coupling- are compared and studied in this paper. Both the cases of...
