Numerical Study of Vortex-Induced Vibrations of Three Circular Cylinders in Equilateral-Triangle Arrangement

Vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) of three circular cylinders in equilateral-triangle arrangement are numerically investigated. The Reynolds number based on the free stream velocity D is 150. The gap spacing between the cylinders is set as 4 D and all cylinders are free to vibrate in both transverse a...
