Vortex-induced vibration characteristics and aerodynamic interference of tandem 5:1 rectangular cylinders
Wind tunnel tests and numerical simulations were conducted to investigate the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) characteristics and aerodynamic interference of tandem 5:1 rectangular cylinders. Influences of spacing ratio (L/B = 0.2, 1.0, and 3.0), constraint conditions, and damping ratio on VIV were systematically examin...
