Abstract
This study aims to investigate the characteristics of the flow-induced vibrations of two circular cylinders. The characteristics of the flow-induced vibrations are examined for various flow velocities and spaces between the two cylinders when they are arranged in tandem, staggered, and side-by-side positions. The results are as follows: (i) Seven flow-induced vibration patterns are observed when the two circular cylinders are placed in either tandem, staggered, or side-by-side positions. (ii) The two cylinders induce a vibration because they affect each other. (iii) The easiest way to induce a vibration of the two cylinders is by placing them in the side-by-side position among the three arrangements (tandem, staggered, and side-by-side). (iv) The change in the maximum flow-induced vibration of the two cylinders depends strongly on the fluctuating lift forces of each of them.
