Notes:
When a bluff body is located in a uniform flow, the flow is separated and vortices areformed. Consequently, the vortices cause “flow-induced vibrations”. Especially, if the Strouhalnumber and the frequency of the body oscillation coincide with the natural frequency, the lock-inregime will occur and we could find the large damages on it. Therefore, it is profitable, in engineeringproblems, to clarify this phenomenon and to suppress the vibration, in which the effect of elastic wallson the suppression is focused. Then, the aims of this article are to clarify the oscillatory characteristicsof the elastic body and the flowfield around the body by numerical simulations, in which a squarepillar with elastic walls is set in a uniform flow. Two dimensional incompressible flows are solved bythe continuity equation, Navier-Stokes equation and the Poisson equation which are derived by takingdivergence of Navier-Stokes equation. Results show that a small deformation of elastic walls has alarge influence on the body motion. In particular, the effect is very distinct at the back
