The two-degree-of-freedom (2DOF) flow-induced vibration (FIV) of a circular cylinder with heat transfer in
turbulent flow is numerically investigated. The cylinder with an attached splitter plate is elastically supported
and allowed to vibrate in both in-line and transverse directions. The unsteady RANS and energy equations along
with the SST k-ω turbulent model are coupled with the equation of vibration to study the FIV of the cylinder. The
effects of the attached plate length (L/D = 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5) and the mass ratio (mr = 2 and 6.76) on the heat
transfer rate, vortex shedding patterns, vibration trajectories, FFT, and cylinder displacements are studied in a
wide range of Reynolds number (1156–9246) and reduced velocity (2–16). The results indicate that FIV can have
either a positive or negative effect on heat transfer enhancement, depending on the splitter plate length and the
type of cylinder vibration response. At high Reynolds numbers, the cylinder vibration response is observed in the
galloping region, accompanied by a significant vibration amplitude. In this region, for L = 0.5D, vibration has a
positive effect on heat transfer, while for other lengths, this effect is negative. For L = 1.5D and a reduced velocity of 5.5, contributions of vortex-induced vibration (VIV) and surface area in the heat transfer enhancement
are 23.5 % and 44.3 %, respectively. By reducing the mass ratio from 6.76 to 2.6 for L = 0.5D, the heat transfer
rate increases by approximately 40 % compared to a stationary cylinder.
