While considerable research has addressed flow around stationary sinusoidal wavy cylinders, studies on vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of elastic-supported cylinders still remain limited. This study aims to address this gap through a series water tunnel experiments, focusing the effects cylinder's spanwise wavelength. Three typical wavelengths (λ* = 1.8, 3.6, and 6.0) are considered, with first third identified as optimal for reducing fluid forces (lift by over 90%) in previous cylinder studies. The oscillates transversally at range reduced velocities Ur 3.0–12.0, corresponding Reynolds numbers (1.5–7.0) × 103. Results indicate that, compared smooth cylinder, λ* 1.8 experiences oscillation throughout VIV regime, while 3.6 or 6.0 undergo enhanced broader lock-in range. tend occur higher Ur, leading an extension lower branch. Frequency analysis shows despite affecting amplitude, surface retains features. These results reveal notable dependence force-displacement phase lag Finally, we provide detailed discussion phase-averaged time-averaged structures from time-resolved particle image velocimetry measurement. Overall, addresses concerning impact wavelength behavior elastically supported providing significant insights development practical strategies suppression enhancement.
