Although the geometry of circular cylinder is simple, the flow is complicate because of the flow separation and vortex shedding. In spite of many numerical and experimental researches, the flow around a circular cylinder has not been clarified even now. It has been known that the unsteady vortex shedding from a circular cylinder can vibrate and damage a structure. Lock-on phenomenon is very important in the flow around an oscillating circular cylinder. The lock-on phenomenon is that when the oscillation frequency of the circular cylinder is at or near the frequency of vortex shedding from a stationary cylinder, the vortex shedding synchronizes with the cylinder motion. This phenomenon can be recognized by the spectral analysis of the lift coefficient history. At the lock-on region the vortex is shedding by the modulated frequency to the body frequency. However, the vortex is shedding by the mixed frequencies of natural shedding and forced body frequency in the region of non-lock-on. In this paper, it was analyzed the relation between the frequency of rotary oscillating circular cylinder and the vortex shedding frequency.

For study on the unsteady blockage effect, flows around a rotationally oscillating circular cylinder with relatively low forcing frequency in closed test-section wind tunnels have been numerically investigated by solving compressible Navier-Stokes equations. The numerical scheme is based on a node-based finite-volume method with the Roe's flux-difference splitting and an implicit time-integration method coupled with dual time-step sub-iteration. The computed results of the oscillating cylinder in the test section showed that the fluctuations of lift and drag are augmented by the blockage effects. The drag further increases because of low base pressure. The pressure on the test section wall shows the harmonics having the oscillating and the shedding frequencies contained in the blockage effect.

The unsteady flow past a circular cylinder which starts rotating or rotary oscillating impulsively from rest in a viscous fluid is investigated for Reynolds numbers Re=200 and 1000, rectilinear speed ratios ${\alpha}$ between 0.5 and 5.0, and forced oscillating frequencies $f_s$ between 0.1 and 2.0. Numerical solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations are obtained by using a finite volume method on an unstructured colocated grid. The objective of the study is to examine the effect of the rotating and rotary oscillating circular cylinder on the flow patterns and dynamics loads. The numerical results reveal that the $K\acute{a}rm\acute{a}n$ vortex street vanishes entirely behind the rotating cylinder when the ratio ${\alpha}$ exceeds the critical value, and the vortex shedding behind the rotary oscillating cylinder undergoes mainly three modes named 'synchronization', 'competition' and 'natural shedding' with the increase of $f_s$. Based on the amplitude spectra analysis of the lift coefficients, the regions of the classification of flow structure modes are presented, which provide important references for the flow control in the ocean engineering.

A circular cylinder is oscillated in th otherwise quiescent viscous fluid. Numerical analysis performed for this problem by using the fourth-order Runge-kutta method for the unsteady Navier-stokes equations. For K(Kelegan-Carpenter's No.)=5, the flow developed symmetrically, while for K=10, it revealed random patterns. The coefficient of the rms force is overestimated by 20-30% compared with the experimental result.

Numerical calculations are carried out for flow past a circular cylinder forced oscillating normal to the free-stream flow at a fixed Reynolds number equal to 185. The cylinder oscillation frequency ranged from 0.8 to 1.2 of the natural vortex-shedding frequency, and the oscillation amplitude extended up to 20% of the cylinder diameter. IBM (Immersed Boundary Method) with direct momentum forcing was adopted to handle both of a stationary and an oscillating cylinder Present results such as time histories of drag and lift coefficients for both stationary and oscillating cases are in good agreement with previous numerical and experimental results. The instantaneous wake patterns of oscillating cylinder with different oscillating frequency ratios showed the synchronized wakes pattern in the lock-in region and vortex switching phenomenon at higher frequency ratio than the critical frequency ratio.

The effect of oscillating on the unsteady laminar flow past a circular cylinder is numerically investigated in the present study. Our study is to analyze the vortex formation behind a circular cylinder for different rotary oscillation conditions. And then we are study to portray the unsteady dynamics of wake flows. We decide lock-on region by observing the phase switching phenomena We classify the vortex formation patterns in the primary lock-on region The present study is to identify the quasi-periodic state around lock-on region. At the boundary between lock-on and non-lock-on the shedding frequency is bifurcated. After the bifurcation, one frequency follow the forcing frequency ($S_f$) and the other returns to the natural shedding frequency ($St_0$). In the quasi-periodic state, the variation of magnitudes and relevant phase changes of $C_L$ with forcing phase are examined.

In this paper, the flow past a rotary oscillating circular cylinder is simulated. The high-order and high-resolution numerical schemes with the characteristic boundary conditions are used for the compressible Navier-Stokes equation. The frequencies of rotating oscillation are $0.19\;{\leq}\;S_f\;{\leq}\;0.25$ for the maximum angular $\theta_{max}=10^{\circ}$ and $17^{\circ}$. The flow conditions are Mach number of 0.3 and Reynolds number of 1000. At Lock-on and Non-lock-on region which are defined by the relation between the vortex shedding frequency and the oscillating frequency, the drag and lift coefficient are analyzed.

The relationship between the excitation frequency and the vortex shedding frequency is analyzed during the oscillation of the circular cylinder. Two-dimension unsteady Navier-Stoke's equation is calculated by using the Optimized High Order Compact (OHOC) scheme. The flow condition is Mach number 0.3 and Reynold's number 1000. From the results acquired by calculation, it can be inferred that, when the excitation frequency is near the vortex shedding frequency at the fixed cylinder wake, the oscillation frequency of lift and drag coefficients appears to lock-on. The lock-on refers to a phenomenon in which the aerodynamic coefficient appears as one primary oscillation frequency through excitation and its amplitude is amplified. In the non-lock-on zone, the excitation frequency is not in the lock-on mode anymore and beat is formed in which two or more primary oscillation frequencies of the aerodynamic coefficient are mixed together.

Numerical simulations based on the ALE finite element method are carried out to examine the aerodynamics of an oscillating circular cylinder when the separated shear flows around the cylinder are stimulated by periodic jet excitation with a shear layer instability frequency. The excitation is applied to the flows from two points on the cylinder surface. The numerical results showed that the excitation with a shear layer instability frequency can reduce the negative damping and thereby stabilize the aerodynamics of the oscillating cylinder. The change of the lift phase seems important in stabilizing the cylinder aerodynamics. The change of lift phase is caused by the merger of the vortices induced by the periodic excitation with a shear layer instability frequency, and the vortex merging comes from the high growth rate, the rapid increase of wave number and decrease of phase velocity for the periodic excitation in the separated shear flows.

When a circular cylinder is placed at the center of a slot burner nozzle, once stable Woflhard-Parker type laminar lean premixed flame is changed to an oscillating flame with self-induced noise. The wrinkled flame surface showed the same pattern and frequency of the Karman vortex street at the downstream of a circular cylinder. The interaction of flame with Karman vortex street is observed to be responsible for flame oscillation. The measured flame oscillation frequency is very similar to the estimated Karman vortex shedding frequency based on the St-Re relationship of the flow past circular cylinder, which could be considered as a strong evidence for the interaction between laminar pre-mixed flame and a Karman vortex street. As Reynolds number increases oscillation frequency decreases and the self-induced noise level increases as well as the flame front is more severly wrinkled. This result suggests that the flame/vortex interaction becomes more active at higher Re.
