In the present paper hydrodynamic forces acting on oscillating circular cylinders as well as flat plates perpendicular to the motion in regular and irregular modes due to vortex shedding are experimentally investigated in order to clarify the memory effect or history effect on the hydrodynamic forces. The experimental results for sinusoidal motion show that the drag and added mass coefficients in steady-state condition are significantly different from those of the first swing from the start because of the existence of old vortices generated in the previous cycles around the cylinder. It is found from the experiments in irregular modes that the drag and added mass coefficients significantly vary every swing. It is confirmed that these coefficients during a swing depend on the relative amplitude or the Keulegan-Carpenter number of the previous swings as well as that of the swing under consideration.

This paper presents the calculation of the hydrodynamic forces exerted on an oscillating circular cylinder when it moves perpendicular to its axis in infinitely deep water covered by compressed ice. The cylinder can oscillate both horizontally and vertically in the course of its translational motion. In the linear approximation, a solution is found for the steady wave motion generated by the cylinder within the hydrodynamic set of equations for the incompressible ideal fluid. It is shown that, depending on the rate of ice compression, both normal and anomalous dispersion can occur in the system. In the latter case, the group velocity can be opposite to the phase velocity in a certain range of wavenumbers. The dependences of the hydrodynamic loads exerted on the cylinder (the added mass, damping coefficients, wave resistance and lift force) on the translational velocity and frequency of oscillation were studied. It was shown that there is a possibility of the appearance of negative values for the damping coefficients at the relatively big cylinder velocity; then, the wave resistance decreases with the increase in cylinder velocity. The theoretical results were underpinned by the numerical calculations for the real parameters of ice and cylinder motion.

Experiments were conducted to determine the relationship between wake structure and heat transfer for an oscillating circular cylinder in cross-flow. An internally heated cylinder was suspended in a water tunnel and oscillated transverse to the freestream. The cylinder’s heat transfer coefficient was measured over a wide range of oscillation amplitudes and frequencies. By comparing these results to the known wake mode regions in the amplitude-frequency plane, relationships between wake mode and heat transfer were identified. Representative cases were investigated further by using digital particle image thermometry/velocimetry (DPIT/V) to simultaneously measure the temperature and velocity fields in the near-wake. This revealed more detail about the mechanisms of heat transfer enhancement. The dynamics of the vortex formation process, including the trajectories of the vortices during roll-up, are the primary cause of the heat transfer enhancement.

Many studies have been made with regard to added mass and added damping of the fluid in the case of simple circular cylinders by Chen, Fritz, Mulcahy, etc.; but those effects for the noncircular cylinders are hardly available. In this study, added mass and added damping of the fluid for the coaxial circular cylinders with projection are investigated by both the experiment utilizing one-degree of freedom cylindrical models and the analysis by comparing those for the simple circular cylinders. Also, the method to evaluate the damping ratio of the beam which has the fluid restraint was derived.

A potential flow model is presented for two-dimensional symmetrical bluff bodies under wall confinement. It provides a procedure for predicting surface loading on a bluff body over a range of blockage ratios. Experimental results with normal flat plates and circular cylinders for blockage ratios up to 35.5 percent substantiate the validity of the approach.
