Abstract
Reponse of aerodynamically bluff bodies when exposed to a fluid stream has been a subject of considerable study for quite some time. The prevention of aeroelastic vibrations of smokestacks, transmission lines, suspension bridges, tall buildings, etc., is of particular interest to engineers. Ever since the pioneering contribution by Strouhal, who correlated periodicity of the vortex shedding with the diameter of a circular cylinder and velocity of the fluid stream, there has been a continuous flow of important contributions resulting in a vast body of literature. This has been reviewed rather adequately by Cermak [1]. In general, the oscillations may be induced by vortex resonance or geometric-fluid dynamic instability called galloping.
