VIV Control Under Magnetic Field

Research question

Can a magnetic field suppress vortex-induced vibration of an elastically mounted cylinder, and how does that suppression affect convective heat transfer?

Numerical method

Selected findings

• Magnetic-field orientation had a decisive effect on vibration suppression.
• Structural-motion suppression significantly altered vortex structure and force response.
• Reduced vibration was accompanied by changes in convective heat transfer and must be evaluated jointly.
