“…A large number of numerical and experimental investigations have been conducted on the wake flows behind circular cylinders, as shown in the reviews by King [1], Sarpkaya [2,3], Bearman [4,5], Sumer and Fredsoe [6], Gabbai and Benaroya [7], Williamson and Govardhan [8,9], and Wu et al [10], Wu et al [11]. Alternating vortex shedding presents in the wake over a wide range of Reynolds numbers, resulting in structural vibration, acoustic noise, and significant increases in the drag and lift fluctuations [12][13][14][15]. This kind of fluctuations may cause fatigue in the structures and then sometimes lead to failure.…”
