... We first simulate the 2-d and 3-d wakes behind vibrating cylinders arid cables, arid then use the method of snapshots to compute the most energetic eigenmodes of these wakes. We examine the eigenmode energy decay versus mode number, and discuss the possibility of constructing low-dimensional dynamic models to simulate and predict the behavior of these systems.

... The cable has mass per unit length m and tension T To maintain a mean displacement, the cable is lightly elastically supported by linear springs with spring constant k, giving a natural frequency of a" = I

... For each simulation, the cable initial position Ad velocity are set and the simulations are run for at least 20 shedding cycles, or until the statistics are relatively stationary 2.3 POD Analysis To get a more general indication of the structure of a particular wake, eve use proper orthogonal deco,=position.

... Koopmann [93 conducted a series of experiments at sc~reral Reynolds n',mbere measuring the flow behind cylinders oscillating in the crossbow direction. He considered cro~flow vibration amplitude from '7/d = 0.05 to q/d = 1, and he varied the vibration frequency above and below the Vortex shedding frequency of the fixed cylinder at that Reynolds number.

... ection of eigenmodes can be selected by examining the eigenmode energy spectrum. This is plotted for our fixed cylinder and forced vibration cases in Figure 12.

... The standing wave and traveling wave flow-induced vibration responses were generated by placing the initial cable position ~ the form of a standing wave and traveling wave, and then running the simulation for several shedding cycles, at which point a time-periodic state was reached. The cable tension was selected so that vibrations of wavelength l/d = 12.6 would respond to the forcing frequency (estimated from the fixed cylinder Strouhal number, i.e.

... The oscillation tends to control and possibly strengthen non-oblique vortex shedding, when locked on, but the threedimensional effect of the phase variation limits this to finite length spanwise cells of alternating sign which might be expected to weaken the vortex shedding. Can any observations be made from your three-dimensional results about the lock-in boundaries (oscillation amplitude vs.
