Abstract

Linear and nonlinear feedback control of vortex-induced vibrations are assessed using a single degree-of-freedom phenomenological model of the uncontrolled response. The model is based on the role of linear and nonlinear damping forces in inducing and limiting the amplitude of these vibrations. First, the model prediction is validated using data from previously published high-fidelity direct numerical simulations. Then, linear and nonlinear control are applied to the validated model over a broad range of gain values. The predicted controlled responses are also validated against previously published results from high-fidelity numerical simulations. Based on this validation, it is shown that the single degree-of-freedom model is an effective alternative, in terms of computational cost, to high fidelity simulations in assessing control strategies over broad regions of control gains.
