Overview

The indicial response approach, a modeling approach originally used for studying nonlinear problems in flight dynamics is applied to the study of vortex-induced oscillations phenomena. The indicial response of the velocity field is derived for the problem studied with emphasis on physical postulates involved. A full account of fluid dynamics effects is taken by considering the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The theory is applied to the particular case of flow past a cylinder in periodically forced motion to derive some salient features. The indicial response approach is shown to be equivalent to a currently popular approach based on the use of the amplitude equation. Jump and hysteresis phenomena that experiments indicate occur within the lock-in regime (where the velocity field oscillates at the forcing frequency) are captured by the approach.
