An Experimental Investigation of In-line and Combined In-line and Cross-flow Vortex Induced Vibrations

This thesis presents results from an experimental investigation of hydrodynamic forces on a cylinder under prescribed harmonic motions in uniform flow. The purpose of the experiments has been to find hydrodynamic coefficients for pure in-line (IL) oscillations and investigate the interaction between...
