Abstract

Flow induced vibrations (FIVs) of a cylinder commonly occur where a cylindrical body is exposed to a flow. However, their appearance and behavior are widely diverging depending on flow condition and characteristics of cylinder with its supporting structure, making their prediction quite difficult. Hence, many serious accidents have been caused so far for structures and machines. Most typical and well-known FIVs in this category are the Karman vortex induced vibration (KVIV), the galloping and the torsional flutter. In this work, a very simple and convenient apparatus is designed and made to reproduce these three vibrations. This apparatus will be effective in a classroom lecture of fluid mechanics by demonstrating how easily the FIVs can be induced by a simple apparatus, even though their prediction remains to be important but difficult problems to be solved in practical engineering.
