Vortex-induced vibrations (VIVs) of two flexible cylinders arranged in tandem are studied using a two-way fluid-structure interaction (FSI) method with different spacing ratios (S x /D) at Reynolds number Re = 500 using a two-way fluid-structure interaction (FSI) method. The main objective of this s...
