The vortex-drift pattern over a girder surface, actually demonstrating the complex fluid-structure interactions between the structure and surrounding flow, is strongly correlated with the VIVs but has still not been elucidated and may be useful for modeling VIVs. The complex fluid-structure interactions between the structure and surrounding flow are considerably simplified in constructing a vortex model to describe the vortex-drift pattern characterized by the ratio of the vortex-drift velocity to the oncoming flow velocity, considering the aerodynamic work. A spring-suspended sectional model (SSSM) is used to measure the pressure in wind tunnel tests, and the aerodynamic parameters for a typical streamlined closed-box girder are obtained from the spatial distribution of the phase lags between the distributed aerodynamic forces at each pressure point and the vortex-excited forces (VEFs). The results show that the ratio of the vortex-drift velocity to the oncoming flow velocity is inversely proportional to the vibration amplitude in the lock-in region and therefore attributed to the "lock-in" phenomena of the VIVs. Installing spoilers on handrails can destroy the regular vortex-drift pattern along the girder surface and thus suppress vertical VIVs.

Under the assumption of the presence of a medium-scale E × B drift vortex of plasma in the daytime midlatitude F region, and using a simplified ionospheric model, we demonstrate that the E × B drift produces noticeable perturbations in the horizontal distribution of the plasma density in the upper F region. The pattern of ion density perturbations shows two separate medium scale domains of enhanced and reduced ion density with respect to the background. The E × B drift does not produce multiple small-scale ion density irregularities through plasma mixing because of the suppression effect of the field-aligned ambipolar plasma diffusion.

주기적으로 요동하는 외부유동에 의해 생성되는 캐버티 주위의 2차원 천수유동은 수치적으로 연구하였다. 실험결과와 비교하기 위해 T형의 용기모델을 수치적으로 계산하여 만들었다. 수치계산에서는 캐버티의 종횡비가 전체적인 유동패턴에 크게 영향을 끼치지 않고 종횡비 2에서는 캐버티의 깊은 부분에 정체된 유동형태가 생성되는 것을 제시한다. 높은 레이놀즈 수에서 유동을 가시화 시켰을 때 나다나지 않았던 많은 와류들이 유동장을 특성화 시키고 있다. 외부지역에서의 물질전달은 실험에서 나타난 입자궤적과 잘 일치한다. 캐버티의 외부지역에 위치한 두쌍의 와류가 규모가 큰 시계방향과 반시계방향의 순환유동을 발생시키는 원인이 되는 것이 증명된 셈이다.
