A novel data-driven nonlinear reduced-order modeling framework is proposed for unsteady fluid–structure interactions (FSIs). In the framework, a convolutional variational autoencoder model developed to determine coordinate transformation from high-dimensional physical field into reduced space. This enables efficient extraction of low-dimensional manifolds flow FSIs. The sparse identification dynamics (SINDy) algorithm then used identify dynamical governing equations space and vibration responses. To investigate validate effectiveness predicting fields in FSI problems, two-dimensional laminar vortex shedding fixed cylinder considered. Furthermore, applied three-dimensional vortex-induced flexible cylinder. Using SINDy analyze responses, are found be correlated with wake patterns, revealing underlying mechanism. present work significant step toward establishment machine learning-based models complex phenomena, discovery physics, real-time control.

While it is known that rigid splitter plates play significant roles in flow control, the exact of them flow-induced vibration (FIV) have not been systematically investigated. This has motivated present work to experimentally investigate FIV a cylinder equipped with an upstream plate (USP), downstream (DSP), and symmetrically arranged water tunnel Reynolds number 1100–7700. The length range L* = 0–3.6 (L*=L/D, L length, D diameter). response characteristics, vortex evolution, fluid force, pressure fields are thoroughly analyzed. Both USP DSP can succeed oscillation mitigation drag reduction. However, dramatic galloping observed for 0.4–3.2. low-pressure region forms near beneficial trigger galloping. For USP, only vortex-induced found, transition branches corresponds variation frequency phase jumps total transverse force force. mode from 2S 2P disappears long length. Flow visualization reveals induced by alters shedding. Furthermore, high-pressure tip yielding obstructive suppresses growth oscillation. With combination DSP, weak excited narrow 1.0–1.8, linear increase also broken due existence USP.

A digital object tracking (DOT) method was employed track oscillating pendulum spheres whereas time-resolved 3-D particle velocimetry (tr-3D-PTV) used measure flow field around spheres. The data obtained from coupling two measuring techniques provide novel insights into dynamics sphere oscillations, instantaneous pressure fluctuations related vortex shedding way they are influenced by wake interactions. Namely, we show that during downward motion spheres, rings shed off which, in turn, induce short-lived propulsion and, subsequently, distinct deceleration. Further, measured improve an existing basic model motion, which has significant discrepancies for period peak amplitude predictions. did this incorporating vortex-induced drag term equation.

We study the response of a flexible prism with square cross-section placed in cross-flow through series experiments conducted at increasing flow velocities. show that as reduced velocity (a dimensionless also depends on natural frequency structure) is increased, undergoes vortex-induced vibration (VIV) its first mode, which then transitions to VIV second mode and third mode. In these ranges, shedding synchronised oscillation frequency, oscillations are mainly transverse (cross-flow – CF) direction. As we keep velocity, observe linear increase amplitude torsional prism, resembling galloping. This causes an amplitudes CF inline (IL) while structural still excited A transition fourth observed higher velocities, reduces IL amplitudes, reach plateau. After this plateau reached oscillations, galloping response, results large-amplitude both directions. The velocities accompanied by oscillations.
