My work for B.Tech thesis is on Flow Induced Vibrations- Flow around a circular cylinder.

The geometry is as follows...

A long cylinder is suspended on 4 springs-2 at 2 ends from top along the length and 2 right below them. The axis of the cylinder is horizontal. The arrangement is such that the transverse vibrations are in the direction of the spring axes.

For this, I am using OpenFOAM version2.1.0, and tutorials/incompressible/pimpleDyMFoam/wingMotion/wingMotion2D_pimpleDyMFoam...
