摘要
Experiments on a square section cylinder fixed and forced to oscillate transversely in a uni- form stream were conducted in a water tank.The Reynolds numberof the experiments is in the range of 3·10~3 tO 10~4,the amplitude to side length ratio A/D is up to 0.7 and the range of reduced velocity is 4.5<Vr<12.This study aims at investigating the lock-in phenomenon,the fluctuating lift and the phase shift between fluctuating lift and displacement of the oscillating cylinder.The problems on the aeroelastic insta. bility relating to present experimental results have been discussed.The flow visualization clearly shows that there are drastic changes of vortex-shedding from cylinder at the resonance point and the upper end of the lock-in range.The results of the flow visualization give better understanding of the physical mechanism of the phase shift.
