We study the long-time behavior of an elliptic rigid body which is allowed to vertically
translate and rotate in a 2D unbounded channel under the action of a Poiseuille flow at large …

The transitions between two states of a bistable system are investigated experimentally and
analyzed in the framework of rare-event statistics. Considering a disk pendulum swept by a …

The dynamic behavior of a subaqueous cylindrical pendulum and corresponding flow
dynamics are investigated. The objectives were twofold:(i) to examine whether the two …

The humble pendulum is often invoked as the archetype of a simple, gravity driven,
oscillator. Under ideal circumstances, the oscillation frequency of the pendulum is …

The relaxation dynamics of a weathercock free-to-rotate, in the presence of a uniform flow,
as it aligns with the flow direction, is investigated experimentally in a wind-tunnel. The …

A detailed analysis of pendular motion is presented. Inertial effects, self-oscillation, and
memory, together with non-constant moment of inertia, hysteresis, and negative damping …

We present a systematic study to investigate the fluid–structure interaction (FSI) of
subaqueous spherical pendulums with several solid-to-fluid mass ratios. The study thus …

In this paper I consider the self-excited rotation of an elliptical cylinder towed in a viscous
fluid as a canonical model of nonlinear fluid–structure interactions with possible applications …

The evolution of the normal aerodynamic coefficient of 19 configurations of square plates
with various porosity patterns, ranging from solid plate to homogeneous porous plate, is …

A heavy pendulum oscillating in a vertical air jet is studied in this short communication.
Different jet Reynolds number and initial inclination angle of the pendulum are considered …
