Application of Control Rods for Passively Suppressing Cross-Flow VIV of an Inclined Flexible Cylinder

<div>Displacement response characteristic of the vertical flexible cylinder (<i>α</i> = 0°) without and with control rods undergoing vortex shedding at <i>U</i> = 0.60 m/s (the first column presents the time history of the nondimensional displacement ((a), (c)), the second column presents the spanwise evolutions of the RMS displacements ((b), (d))).</div>
