Call for Papers: Special Issue on Flow-induced vibrations (FIV) of cylindrical structures

The Journal of Hydrodynamics is pleased to announce a special issue dedicated to the topic of Flow-induced vibrations of cylindrical structures.

The vibration of such a structure subject to flow has been known to humanity since ancient times; for example, the phenomenon of a wire vibrating at its natural frequency in response to vortex shedding was recognized in ancient Greece as Aeolian tones. But systematic studies of the problem were not made until a century ago when Strouhal established the relationship between vortex shedding frequency and flow velocity for a given cylinder diameter. From an engineering point of view, flow-induced vibrations are particularly harmful if the vibration frequency synchronizes with one of the natural frequencies of the structure. Therefore, this issue holds great engineering significance, as vortex-induced forces may develop in structures exposed to fluid flow, such as tall stacks, bridge towers, cables, offshore structures, and pipelines.

Scope:

This special issue focuses on studying the fluid-structures interaction mechanism inspired by FIV of cylindrical structures and their applications in solving real-world problems. We welcome contributions from scientists and engineers across diverse fields such as fluid dynamics, structural mechanics, and mechanical vibrations.

Submissions should explore FIV of cylindrical structures in various contexts, including the dynamic responses of structures submerged in fluid, containing fluid, or subjected to external flow.

Topics of Interest:

  • Classical issues of flow-induced vibrations
  • Energy harvesting mechanisms and applications of flow-induced vibrations
  • Flow-induced vibration issues in the field of biomimicry
  • Applications of artificial intelligence in managing and predicting flow-induced vibrations
  • Other theoretical frontiers and advanced technologies in flow-induced vibrations
