This paper presents an experimental study of the structural dynamics and the wake vortex modes of a lightly damped, elastically mounted cylinder undergoing vortex-induced vibration (VIV) in the transverse direction. The cylinder is neutrally buoyant with the mass ratio m* = 1.0, and has a low dampin...
