Abstract

•We conducted an experimental study of VIV on a circular flexible beam.•We determined the vortex shedding and cylinder frequencies in the lock-in.•The cylinder frequency controls the vortex shedding frequency.•The branches in the lock in are clearly delimited by the frequency response.

In this paper, we study the vortex-induced vibration of a bottom fixed circular cylinder with a 0.126 mass damping ratio and blockage ratio lower than 1%. The experiments were performed in a water tunnel at low Reynolds numbers (90
