“…Violette et al (2007) predicted the VIV of long structures using a wake oscillator model which was developed by Facchinetti et al (2004a), compared the predicted results with DNS and experimental results. However, the model presented by Facchinetti et al (2004a) fails in describing quantitatively the cylinder oscillation amplitude, and no relations have been developed between the model parameters in the model, which vary considerably from experiment to experiment (Skop and Griffin, 1973).…”
