Vortex-Induced Vibrations (VIVs) of a near-wall cylinder involve complex interactions between the structure and the boundary layers in the shear flow. Based on dimensional analyses, the wall-proximity effects on the triggering of transverse VIVs of a circular cylinder are physically investigated wit...
