Abstract

Two-dimensional simulations of flow past both an elastically-mounted cylinder and an externally-driven oscillating cylinder were performed at a Reynolds number of Re = 200. The results were compared to determine if the oscillations of the driven-oscillation model were consistent with the oscillations observed in the elastically-mounted system. It was found that while this is the case, there is considerable sensitivity to input forcing. This sensitivity could explain observed discrepancies between experimental results for the two systems.
