Abstract: Experiments and numerical simulations are carried out to investigate the flow-induced vibration of an elastically-supported, circular cylinder placed near a plane boundary. The flow field is visualized using the hydrogen bubble technique. Two modes of flow-induced oscillations are recognized, namely fore-backward oscillation at lower flow speeds, and transverse oscillation at higher flow speeds. In numerical simulations, the Navier-Stokes equations for unsteady incompressible viscous flow combined with a k-   turbulence model are solved via finite element method. Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) method using an overlapping grid system is used to capture the motion of the cylinder.
