•Numerical investigation of vortex-induced vibration of an elastically mounted rigid cylinder is discussed.•The study is carried out for the range of reduced velocity = 2–16 which corresponds to Reynolds number 1700–14,000.•Maximum amplitude, other hydrodynamics coefficients are also discussed.•Curr...
