Abstract
The two-degrees-of-freedom of vortex-induced vibration of circular cylinders is numerically simulated with the software ANSYS/CFX. The VIV characteristic, in the two different conditions (A/D=0.07 and A/D=1.0), is analyzed. When A/D is around 0.07, the amplitude ratio of the cylinder’s VIV between in-line and cross-flow direction in the lock-in is lower than that in the lock-out. The in-line frequency is twice of that in cross-flow direction in the lock-out, but in the lock-in, it is the same as that in cross-flow direction and the same as that of lift force. When A/D is around 1.0, the amplitude ratio of the VIV between in-line and cross-flow in the lock-in is obviously larger than that in the lock-out. Both in the lock-in and in the lock-out, the in-line frequency is twice of that in cross-flow direction.
