A Modified Wake Oscillator Model for the Cross-Flow Vortex-Induced Vibration of Rigid Cylinders with Low Mass and Damping Ratios

The classical wake oscillator model is capable of predicting the vortex-induced vibration response of a cylinder at high mass-damping ratios, but it fails to perform satisfactorily at low mass-damping ratios. A modified wake oscillator model is presented in this paper. The modification method involv...

description The classical wake oscillator model is capable of predicting the vortex-induced vibration response of a cylinder at high mass-damping ratios, but it fails to perform satisfactorily at low mass-damping ratios. A modified wake oscillator model is presented in this paper. The modification method involves analyzing the variation law of the add mass coefficient of the cylinder versus reduced velocity and expressing the reference lift coefficient <i>C<sub>L</sub></i><sub>0</sub> as a function of the add mass coefficient. The modified wake oscillator model has been demonstrated to have better accuracy in capturing maximum amplitudes and flow velocity at low mass-damping ratios. However, the modified model at present form is unable to accurately predict the vortex-induced vibration response at high damping ratios. The purpose of this paper is to propose a new modification idea. In order to achieve better results when applying this modification idea to particular objects, it may be necessary to first understand the response law of these kinds of objects.
