Abstract

In the present article, we propose and solve an inverse problem to estimate hydrodynamic parameters relevant to the vortex induced vibrations of a pivoted cylinder in laminar flow. For the analysis, we utilized published results from high-performance simulations of this scenario. The study focuses on estimating the added mass parameter, which is crucial in the design of fluid-structure interaction devices and certain numerical techniques for general fluid-structure interaction solvers. We obtain a quadratic relationship between the added mass parameter and the angular acceleration of the cylinder. Moreover, not only are the results significant, but the methodology employed in this article is adaptable to other numerical or experimental fluid-structure interaction results and can assist in determining important design parameters for fluid-structure interaction devices.
