Abstract

Flow-induced vibration is a term to denote the phenomena associated with the response of structures immersed in (or conveying) the fluid flow. The term covers the cases in which there is an interaction between the fluid-dynamic forces and the inertia, damping, and elastic forces in the structures. The study of these phenomena draws on three disciplines: (1) structural mechanics, (2) mechanical vibration, and (3) fluid dynamics.

Fluid-induced vibration had not been systematically studied until a century ago when V. Strouhal discovered the relationship between the vortex shedding frequency and the fluid velocity for a given cylinder diameter. Recently, it has been studied extensively for several reasons. First, with the use of high-strength material, structures become more slender and more susceptible to vibration. Second, the development of advanced nuclear power reactors requires high-velocity fluid flowing through components, which may cause detrimental vibrations. Third, the dynamic interaction of the structure and the fluid is one of the most fascinating problems in engineering mechanics.

Though flow-induced vibration comprises complex and diverse phenomena, it can be classified by the nature of the flow. The first class is self-excited vibration, including vortex-induced vibration, flutter, and fluid-elastic instability. The second class is the forced vibration, including transient vibration, harmonic vibration, and random vibration. This chapter introduces only the self-excited vibration, namely, vortex resonance of flexible structures, flutter of cantilevered pipes conveying flow, flutter of two-dimensional airfoils, galloping of flexible structures with bluff section, and fluid-elastic instability of arrays of circular cylinders in the cross flow.
