Universal Dynamics in Flow-Induced Cable Vibration
Abstract
The long-term goal is to use tools from study of nonlinear chaotic dynamics to better understand fluid structure interaction problems in vibrating cables and bluff bodies. The overall objective is to organize results on vibrating cables into a dynamical systems-based framework. A second goal is to advance current fluid-structural modeling through combined analytical-experimental work. The expected outcomes of the study will be: (1) advances in state-of-the-art fluid-structural modeling through supporting experimental work, (2) new techniques for flow control in oscillating bluff body flows, and (3) development of new analytical techniques to better predict vibrating cylinder wakes using certain aspects of spatial-temporal chaos theory.
