Abstract:The hydrodynamic coupling of inverted flexible flags in side-by-side, left triangular and right triangular configurations in a uniform flow is investigated numerically. Various arrangements can be characterized by the lateral and longitudinal gaps, i.e., H and G, respectively. For the side-by-side configurations, three typical modes are identified in flapping region, i.e., in-phase quasi out-of-phase (QOP) and out-of-phase (OP) modes, corresponding to 2P, irregular and 4(P + S) wake patterns, respectively.
