Abstract

This paper adopts the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method, firstly compares with the classic experiment of Jauvtis and Williamson in 2004, and verifies the reliability of numerical simulation. Then the vortex-induced motion response of cylindrical structures with different ratios of natural frequencies of the in-line to the transverse natural frequency ratio (natural frequency ratio, f *=fnx/fny) is numerically simulated. Through research, it is found that the natural frequency ratio is an important parameter affecting the vortex-induced motion characteristics of cylindrical structures. With the increase of the natural frequency ratio f *, the response amplitude gradually increases and the cross-flow amplitude peak appears at a higher reduced speed, and the force-displacement curve undergoes a "phase switching" phenomenon; the change of the natural frequency ratio has little effect on the "locking" range of vortex-induced motion; at a specific reduced speed, the change of the natural frequency ratio will affect the vortex shedding mode, and the different vortex shedding modes that appear cause its motion trajectory to present an "8" shape with different tilt directions.
