Vortex-Induced Vibrations of In-Line Cantilevered Cylinders: A Numerical Investigation for Nuclear Industry Benchmark Testing

The advent of global warming has brought an increased interest in non-conventional sources of energy, one of which is nuclear energy. Threatening the almost year-round functioning of nuclear power plants are Flow-Induced Vibrations (FIV). One such mechanism, Vortex-Induced Vibration (VIV), holds importance in areas of cross flow in nuclear power...
