The vortex-induced vibration is one of the most important factors to make the engineering failure in wind engineering This paperfocuses on the suppression method of vortex-induced vibration that occurs on a circular cylinder fitted with vortex generatorsbased on the wind tunnel experimentThe effect of the vortex generators is presented with comparisons including the bare cylinderThe experimental results reveal that the vortex generators can efficiently suppress vortex-induced vibration of the circular cylinderVortex generator control can make the boundary layer profile fuller and hence more resistant to separation The selections of skewangles and the angular position have a significant influence on the vortex generator control effect By correlation analysis it can beconcluded that the vortex generators can inhibit the communication between the two shear layers and produce streamwise vorticesto generate a disturbance in the spanwise direction
1 Introduction
The stay-cables and hangers are the key components of long-span bridges They are prone to vortex-induced vibration(VIV) due to their high flexibility and low damping ratioAlthough the VIV is self-limiting it may induce violentstructural vibrations and stresses that eventually lead toconsiderable fatigue damage and reduction in the structurallifetime of stay-cables and hangers [1] Therefore strategiesaiming at reducing vibration amplitudes for stay-cables andhangers are of great concern for industry and academia [2 3]Most of the algorithms of fatigue analysis of stay-cables andhangers subjected to VIV consider that the flow around aninclined circular cylinder can be considered equivalent to theone in which the free stream velocity is projected onto thedirection orthogonal to the circular cylinder axis [4] In thepresent work we referred this simplification
Flow control involves active and passive devices [5]Active devices require energy expenditure Kim and Choi[6] studied a forcing scheme for cylinder drag reduction byblowing and suction of fluid through two slits located on the
surface of the cylinder Muralidharan et al [7] designed asuction control strategy for a circular cylinder and imple-mented it to assess its efficacy Bigger et al [8] applied open-loop control in the near wake of a disk in subsonic air andwater flows Passive devices require no auxiliary power andno control loop [9 10] Adachi [11] considered the influenceof different surface roughness values for a circular cylinderwake Chen et al [12] investigated passive jet flow controltechnique to manipulate the vortex shedding process froma circular cylinder Oruc [13] studied flow control around acircular cylinder with a screen that had a streamlined shapeBao and Tao [14] used dual plates to control the wake of acircular cylinder
Vortex generators (VGs) are effective at controllingboundary layer This control method can stimulate verticalmotions confined in the boundary layer and its close sur-roundings hence providingmomentum enhancement in thevicinity of a wall [15] The simple geometrical properties ofpassive VGs can provide relatively practical and low costeffective solutions to complex flow separation phenomenaTherefore VGs are commonly used as flow control devices

especially in aerodynamic applications Many results of usingVGs to control stationary cylinders were available at presentUnal and Atlar [16] used VGs to control the wake flow of acylinder Their study shows that vortex generators enforcedthe shear layers to bend towards the centreline and decreasethe width of the wake Shur et al [17] show that VGs canproduce a significant delay of separation and drag reductionin flows past smooth bluff bodies in the transcritical flowregime with turbulent boundary layers ahead of separation
In the present investigation a vortex generator controlmethod was adopted to mitigate the VIV of a circularcylinder The Reynolds numbers in the present work were inthe range of 104 sim105 which is within the subcritical regime
2 Vortex Generator Design
Based on the literature survey review the triangular VGsare adopted in this paper This is a thin plastic plate vortexgenerator with a 02 mm thickness as suggested by Godardand Stanislas [18] Figure 1 shows the geometrical parameters119871 is the distance between the trailing edges of two triangularplates of one pair ℎ is the height of the triangular plates119897 is the length of the triangular plates 120582 is the distancebetween two passive devices and 120573 is the skew angle Beforethe experiment we conducted computational simulations todetermine the boundary layer thickness (120575) of the circularcylinder The boundary layer thickness was approximately15mmndash19mm near the separation line (Re = 10000) Theheight of the VGs can be greater than that of the boundarylayer thickness Therefore the VGs used in this experimentwere 120575-scale with ℎ120575 sim 2 In the experiment the heightsof the VGs were set at ℎ = 4mm The sizes of the VGs weredetermined according to the suggestion given in [18] In thisway 119897ℎ = 15 120582ℎ = 4 and 119871ℎ = 15 Configurations ofthe VGs are shown in Figure 2 where 119880 is the free streamand the positive and negative skew angle are shown in Figures2(a) and 2(b)
3 Experimental Setup

The cylinder was hung on a free vibration device (Fig-ure 4) Two end-plates were used to foster a bidimensionalflow [19] The stiffness of the coil spring was 860Nm Thecoil springs were attached symmetrically on the lever armswith a lateral spacing of 450mm The vertical damping ratiowas 2permil and the natural vertical frequency (119891
119899) was 38Hz
The blockage ratio of the experiment facility was 45 andit was unnecessary to correct the data for the blockage effectaccording to [20]
In Figure 5(a) the vortex generators were longitudinallyfitted on a circular cylinder In Figure 5(b) the angularposition (0∘ lt 120579 lt 180∘) of the row was from the frontstagnation line
Two Type 4507B accelerometers were fixed on both endsof the circular cylinder The acceleration measurements wereobtained at a sampling frequency of 1000Hz for a period of20 s The DSM 3400 system (Scanivalve Corporation) wasused to measure the pressure The sampling rate was 300HzThe sampling duration was 40 s

of signals and detect the degree of correlation betweentwo variables The aerodynamic lift forces (119865

by integrating the surface pressure around the circularcylinder The spanwise correlation coefficients between theaerodynamic lift forces on the middle section of the cir-cular cylinder and the other three sections are shown inFigure 11
For 120579 = 45∘ or 70∘ the spanwise correlation coefficientsof the aerodynamic lift forces are less than those of a
bare circular cylinder The VGs produce strong streamwisevortices to generate a disturbance in the spanwise directionFor 120579 = 90∘ however the spanwise correlation coefficients arenearly the same as those without control
In Figures 9ndash11 the VGs can influence the bound-ary layer flow even if they are far from the separationline (120579 = 45∘) When the VGs are set after the sepa-ration line (120579 = 90∘) however the control effect is notsignificant

5 Conclusion
Based on the wind tunnel experiment a vibration controlmethod using the vortex generator was studied herein The
vortex-induced vibration of the circular cylinder with andwithout vortex generators is quantified in terms of the dis-placement amplitude pressure distributions and correlationcoefficients The main results show the following
(1) The vortex generators effectively suppress vortex-induced vibration They shorten the lock-in regionand reduce the amplitude of vortex-induced vibra-tion The vortex generators have the best resultfor 120579 = 70∘ which significantly reduces the ampli-tude For 120579 = 45∘ there is early synchronization

for a circular cylinder subjected to vortex-inducedvibration
(2) The vortex generators make the boundary layer pro-file fuller and hencemore resistant to separationTheycan influence the boundary layer flow even if they arefar from the separation line
(3) Correlation analysis shows that the vortex generatorscan inhibit communication between the two shearlayers and the vortex generators had a stronger effecton the spanwise correlation coefficientsThe spanwisecorrelation coefficients of the cylinder with vortex
generators are less than those of the bare circularcylinder
We believe that the present study offers some informationto understand the physics of the vortex-induced vibrationof cylinders with and without vortex generators Futuretest should focus on the enhanced physical understand-ing and continued application of vortex generators to realsystems

2 Shock and Vibration
especially in aerodynamic applications Many results of usingVGs to control stationary cylinders were available at presentUnal and Atlar [16] used VGs to control the wake flow of acylinder Their study shows that vortex generators enforcedthe shear layers to bend towards the centreline and decreasethe width of the wake Shur et al [17] show that VGs canproduce a significant delay of separation and drag reductionin flows past smooth bluff bodies in the transcritical flowregime with turbulent boundary layers ahead of separation
In the present investigation a vortex generator controlmethod was adopted to mitigate the VIV of a circularcylinder The Reynolds numbers in the present work were inthe range of 104 sim105 which is within the subcritical regime
2 Vortex Generator Design
Based on the literature survey review the triangular VGsare adopted in this paper This is a thin plastic plate vortexgenerator with a 02 mm thickness as suggested by Godardand Stanislas [18] Figure 1 shows the geometrical parameters119871 is the distance between the trailing edges of two triangularplates of one pair ℎ is the height of the triangular plates119897 is the length of the triangular plates 120582 is the distancebetween two passive devices and 120573 is the skew angle Beforethe experiment we conducted computational simulations todetermine the boundary layer thickness (120575) of the circularcylinder The boundary layer thickness was approximately15mmndash19mm near the separation line (Re = 10000) Theheight of the VGs can be greater than that of the boundarylayer thickness Therefore the VGs used in this experimentwere 120575-scale with ℎ120575 sim 2 In the experiment the heightsof the VGs were set at ℎ = 4mm The sizes of the VGs weredetermined according to the suggestion given in [18] In thisway 119897ℎ = 15 120582ℎ = 4 and 119871ℎ = 15 Configurations ofthe VGs are shown in Figure 2 where 119880 is the free streamand the positive and negative skew angle are shown in Figures2(a) and 2(b)

The cylinder was hung on a free vibration device (Fig-ure 4) Two end-plates were used to foster a bidimensionalflow [19] The stiffness of the coil spring was 860Nm Thecoil springs were attached symmetrically on the lever armswith a lateral spacing of 450mm The vertical damping ratiowas 2permil and the natural vertical frequency (119891
119899) was 38Hz
The blockage ratio of the experiment facility was 45 andit was unnecessary to correct the data for the blockage effectaccording to [20]
In Figure 5(a) the vortex generators were longitudinallyfitted on a circular cylinder In Figure 5(b) the angularposition (0∘ lt 120579 lt 180∘) of the row was from the frontstagnation line
Two Type 4507B accelerometers were fixed on both endsof the circular cylinder The acceleration measurements wereobtained at a sampling frequency of 1000Hz for a period of20 s The DSM 3400 system (Scanivalve Corporation) wasused to measure the pressure The sampling rate was 300HzThe sampling duration was 40 s

The VGs control has the positive effects on shorteningthe lock-in region and reducing the displacement amplitudeof the circular cylinder The results (in Figure 8) show thatthe control effect is excellent when 120579 is 70∘ For 120579 = 70∘a significant displacement amplitude reduction is achieved
from 119880119903 = 5 to 119880119903 = 10 On the other side for 120579 = 90∘ or 120579 =105∘ the VGs are less effective on reducing the displacementamplitude than that of 120579 = 45∘ or 120579 = 70∘ For 120579 = 45∘ there isearly synchronization as that found for the circular cylindersubjected to VIV

of signals and detect the degree of correlation betweentwo variables The aerodynamic lift forces (119865

by integrating the surface pressure around the circularcylinder The spanwise correlation coefficients between theaerodynamic lift forces on the middle section of the cir-cular cylinder and the other three sections are shown inFigure 11
For 120579 = 45∘ or 70∘ the spanwise correlation coefficientsof the aerodynamic lift forces are less than those of a
bare circular cylinder The VGs produce strong streamwisevortices to generate a disturbance in the spanwise directionFor 120579 = 90∘ however the spanwise correlation coefficients arenearly the same as those without control
In Figures 9ndash11 the VGs can influence the bound-ary layer flow even if they are far from the separationline (120579 = 45∘) When the VGs are set after the sepa-ration line (120579 = 90∘) however the control effect is notsignificant

5 Conclusion
Based on the wind tunnel experiment a vibration controlmethod using the vortex generator was studied herein The
vortex-induced vibration of the circular cylinder with andwithout vortex generators is quantified in terms of the dis-placement amplitude pressure distributions and correlationcoefficients The main results show the following
(1) The vortex generators effectively suppress vortex-induced vibration They shorten the lock-in regionand reduce the amplitude of vortex-induced vibra-tion The vortex generators have the best resultfor 120579 = 70∘ which significantly reduces the ampli-tude For 120579 = 45∘ there is early synchronization

Figure 11 Correlation coefficients of lift (119880119903 = 7)
for a circular cylinder subjected to vortex-inducedvibration
(2) The vortex generators make the boundary layer pro-file fuller and hencemore resistant to separationTheycan influence the boundary layer flow even if they arefar from the separation line
(3) Correlation analysis shows that the vortex generatorscan inhibit communication between the two shearlayers and the vortex generators had a stronger effecton the spanwise correlation coefficientsThe spanwisecorrelation coefficients of the cylinder with vortex
generators are less than those of the bare circularcylinder
We believe that the present study offers some informationto understand the physics of the vortex-induced vibrationof cylinders with and without vortex generators Futuretest should focus on the enhanced physical understand-ing and continued application of vortex generators to realsystems

In Figure 6 when the reduced wind speed range is 44ndash107 the vibration amplitude of the circular cylinder increasesfirst peaks at 119880119903 = 7 and then decreases Also as shown inFigure 7 a lock-in phenomenon is observed in the reduced

of signals and detect the degree of correlation betweentwo variables The aerodynamic lift forces (119865

by integrating the surface pressure around the circularcylinder The spanwise correlation coefficients between theaerodynamic lift forces on the middle section of the cir-cular cylinder and the other three sections are shown inFigure 11
For 120579 = 45∘ or 70∘ the spanwise correlation coefficientsof the aerodynamic lift forces are less than those of a
bare circular cylinder The VGs produce strong streamwisevortices to generate a disturbance in the spanwise directionFor 120579 = 90∘ however the spanwise correlation coefficients arenearly the same as those without control
In Figures 9ndash11 the VGs can influence the bound-ary layer flow even if they are far from the separationline (120579 = 45∘) When the VGs are set after the sepa-ration line (120579 = 90∘) however the control effect is notsignificant

5 Conclusion
Based on the wind tunnel experiment a vibration controlmethod using the vortex generator was studied herein The
vortex-induced vibration of the circular cylinder with andwithout vortex generators is quantified in terms of the dis-placement amplitude pressure distributions and correlationcoefficients The main results show the following
(1) The vortex generators effectively suppress vortex-induced vibration They shorten the lock-in regionand reduce the amplitude of vortex-induced vibra-tion The vortex generators have the best resultfor 120579 = 70∘ which significantly reduces the ampli-tude For 120579 = 45∘ there is early synchronization

Figure 11 Correlation coefficients of lift (119880119903 = 7)
for a circular cylinder subjected to vortex-inducedvibration
(2) The vortex generators make the boundary layer pro-file fuller and hencemore resistant to separationTheycan influence the boundary layer flow even if they arefar from the separation line
(3) Correlation analysis shows that the vortex generatorscan inhibit communication between the two shearlayers and the vortex generators had a stronger effecton the spanwise correlation coefficientsThe spanwisecorrelation coefficients of the cylinder with vortex
generators are less than those of the bare circularcylinder
We believe that the present study offers some informationto understand the physics of the vortex-induced vibrationof cylinders with and without vortex generators Futuretest should focus on the enhanced physical understand-ing and continued application of vortex generators to realsystems

of signals and detect the degree of correlation betweentwo variables The aerodynamic lift forces (119865

by integrating the surface pressure around the circularcylinder The spanwise correlation coefficients between theaerodynamic lift forces on the middle section of the cir-cular cylinder and the other three sections are shown inFigure 11
For 120579 = 45∘ or 70∘ the spanwise correlation coefficientsof the aerodynamic lift forces are less than those of a
bare circular cylinder The VGs produce strong streamwisevortices to generate a disturbance in the spanwise directionFor 120579 = 90∘ however the spanwise correlation coefficients arenearly the same as those without control
In Figures 9ndash11 the VGs can influence the bound-ary layer flow even if they are far from the separationline (120579 = 45∘) When the VGs are set after the sepa-ration line (120579 = 90∘) however the control effect is notsignificant

5 Conclusion
Based on the wind tunnel experiment a vibration controlmethod using the vortex generator was studied herein The
vortex-induced vibration of the circular cylinder with andwithout vortex generators is quantified in terms of the dis-placement amplitude pressure distributions and correlationcoefficients The main results show the following
(1) The vortex generators effectively suppress vortex-induced vibration They shorten the lock-in regionand reduce the amplitude of vortex-induced vibra-tion The vortex generators have the best resultfor 120579 = 70∘ which significantly reduces the ampli-tude For 120579 = 45∘ there is early synchronization

Figure 11 Correlation coefficients of lift (119880119903 = 7)
for a circular cylinder subjected to vortex-inducedvibration
(2) The vortex generators make the boundary layer pro-file fuller and hencemore resistant to separationTheycan influence the boundary layer flow even if they arefar from the separation line
(3) Correlation analysis shows that the vortex generatorscan inhibit communication between the two shearlayers and the vortex generators had a stronger effecton the spanwise correlation coefficientsThe spanwisecorrelation coefficients of the cylinder with vortex
generators are less than those of the bare circularcylinder
We believe that the present study offers some informationto understand the physics of the vortex-induced vibrationof cylinders with and without vortex generators Futuretest should focus on the enhanced physical understand-ing and continued application of vortex generators to realsystems

5 Conclusion
Based on the wind tunnel experiment a vibration controlmethod using the vortex generator was studied herein The
vortex-induced vibration of the circular cylinder with andwithout vortex generators is quantified in terms of the dis-placement amplitude pressure distributions and correlationcoefficients The main results show the following
(1) The vortex generators effectively suppress vortex-induced vibration They shorten the lock-in regionand reduce the amplitude of vortex-induced vibra-tion The vortex generators have the best resultfor 120579 = 70∘ which significantly reduces the ampli-tude For 120579 = 45∘ there is early synchronization

Figure 11 Correlation coefficients of lift (119880119903 = 7)
for a circular cylinder subjected to vortex-inducedvibration
(2) The vortex generators make the boundary layer pro-file fuller and hencemore resistant to separationTheycan influence the boundary layer flow even if they arefar from the separation line
(3) Correlation analysis shows that the vortex generatorscan inhibit communication between the two shearlayers and the vortex generators had a stronger effecton the spanwise correlation coefficientsThe spanwisecorrelation coefficients of the cylinder with vortex
generators are less than those of the bare circularcylinder
We believe that the present study offers some informationto understand the physics of the vortex-induced vibrationof cylinders with and without vortex generators Futuretest should focus on the enhanced physical understand-ing and continued application of vortex generators to realsystems

of signals and detect the degree of correlation betweentwo variables The aerodynamic lift forces (119865

by integrating the surface pressure around the circularcylinder The spanwise correlation coefficients between theaerodynamic lift forces on the middle section of the cir-cular cylinder and the other three sections are shown inFigure 11
For 120579 = 45∘ or 70∘ the spanwise correlation coefficientsof the aerodynamic lift forces are less than those of a
bare circular cylinder The VGs produce strong streamwisevortices to generate a disturbance in the spanwise directionFor 120579 = 90∘ however the spanwise correlation coefficients arenearly the same as those without control
In Figures 9ndash11 the VGs can influence the bound-ary layer flow even if they are far from the separationline (120579 = 45∘) When the VGs are set after the sepa-ration line (120579 = 90∘) however the control effect is notsignificant

5 Conclusion
Based on the wind tunnel experiment a vibration controlmethod using the vortex generator was studied herein The
vortex-induced vibration of the circular cylinder with andwithout vortex generators is quantified in terms of the dis-placement amplitude pressure distributions and correlationcoefficients The main results show the following
(1) The vortex generators effectively suppress vortex-induced vibration They shorten the lock-in regionand reduce the amplitude of vortex-induced vibra-tion The vortex generators have the best resultfor 120579 = 70∘ which significantly reduces the ampli-tude For 120579 = 45∘ there is early synchronization

(2) The vortex generators make the boundary layer pro-file fuller and hencemore resistant to separationTheycan influence the boundary layer flow even if they arefar from the separation line
(3) Correlation analysis shows that the vortex generatorscan inhibit communication between the two shearlayers and the vortex generators had a stronger effecton the spanwise correlation coefficientsThe spanwisecorrelation coefficients of the cylinder with vortex
generators are less than those of the bare circularcylinder
We believe that the present study offers some informationto understand the physics of the vortex-induced vibrationof cylinders with and without vortex generators Futuretest should focus on the enhanced physical understand-ing and continued application of vortex generators to realsystems
