Hi all,

is there a package in Julia that can help to create numerical simulation for VIV like from this page:

> **[Vortex-induced vibration](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex-induced_vibration)**
>
> In fluid dynamics, vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) are motions induced on bodies interacting with an external fluid flow, produced by, or the motion producing, periodic irregularities on this flow.
> A classic example is the VIV of an underwater cylinder. How this happens can be seen by putting a cylinder into the water (a swimming-pool or even a bucket) and moving it through the water in a direction perpendicular to its axis. Since real fluids always present some viscosity, the flow around the cy...

Thanks.

Maybe this?

In the Readme page, you can see a demo for moving bodies, similar to your example (I’m not sure if it can take VIV into account, though, or if the movement is just a BC…)

Not quite what you are asking but [Blevins](https://archive.org/details/flowinducedvibra0000blev/page/456/mode/2up) book “Flow Induced Vibration” is an excellent study and gives many empirical equations.

Thanks, sorry for late reply, my internet very slow at day. I have added the package, I think it will help but the AMD library can’t be added

Thanks for the suggestion of the book. I will read the book. You know I am learning about this Fluid Dynamics, Flow and friends…
