Summary
Fluid flow induced by a harmonically oscillating cascade of normal flat plates and square cylinders has been investigated. We assume that the amplitude of the oscillation is small in comparison with the typical length of the body and that the Reynolds number, based on the typical length and speed being the size of the body and the frequency of the oscillation, respectively, is small. First-order solutions have been obtained using both a numerical technique and the series truncation method and the results from these two methods show good agreement. The streaming flow induced by the oscillation has also been investigated by solving the set of coupled perturbation equations numerically.
