Abstract: The development of three-dimensional patterns in the wake of two-dimensional objects is examined from the point of view of hydrodynamic stability. It is first shown that for parallel shear ...

Abstract: The equation of motion of a long slender beam submerged in an infinite fluid moving with constant speed is derived using Hamilton’s principle. The upstream end of the beam is pinned and the ...

Abstract: The buckling of submerged, towed slender cylindrical beams is investigated using analytic methods. The problem is formulated using the “slender body” approximation and conditions are sought for ...

Abstract: A procedure for calculating the response of an array to a harmonic excitation applied at the upstream end is presented. The fluid forces on the array are modeled following the slender-body ...
