Abstract: Wake vortex shedding topology of a cylinder undergoing vortexinduced vibrations (VIV) is investigated experimentally. Vibration measurements and flow visualization are utilized to study the connection between the cylinder ...

Abstract: A novel adaptive pendulum tunedmass damper (TMD) was integrated with a two degreeoffreedom (DOF) cylindrical structure in order to control vortexinduced vibrations of the structure. The natural frequency of the TMD was ...

Abstract: This work investigates experimentally the effects of grid-generated turbulence on the evaporation of thin oil films subjected to laminar, transitional, and turbulent boundary layers. Particle image velocimetry (PIV) is ...
