Vortex-induced vibration (VIV) has been studied extensively and much attention has been devoted to the “lock-in” phenomenon, which is primarily responsible for fatigue damage to structures. Nevertheless, the behavior of the surrounding flow can also be important. This paper investigates the flow cha...
