"An investigation on flow-induced response characteristics of two identical circular cylinders in staggered arrangement is conducted in the fluid mechanics laboratory of Kitami Institute of Technology, Japan. Each cylinder was two-dimensional, spring mounted, and allowed to vibrate independently in the cross-flow direction," scientists in Hong Kong, People's Republic of China report.
"were conducted at stagger angle alpha = 5 degrees, 10 degrees, 15 degrees, 25 degrees, 45 degrees and 60 degrees L/D ranging from 0.1 to 3.2, with Delta L/D = 0.1, where L is the gap width between the cylinders, and D is the diameter of a cylinder. At each position (alpha, L/D) of ...
