A flexibly mounted circular cylinder in cross-flow, with natural frequencies in the inline and transverse directions having a ratio close to 2:1, exhibits drastic changes in the vortex structures in its wake, the frequency content of the fluid forces, and the orbital shape of its resulting motions. Stable multivortex patterns form in the cylinder wake, associated with large high-frequency force components.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
