Abstract

We characterize the dynamical behavior of a clamped flexible fiber immersed in wall turbulence over a wide range of natural frequencies (f(nat) ) by means of direct numerical simulations. Only two flapping states are possible: one where the fiber oscillates at the characteristic frequency of the largest turbulent eddies (f(turb)) and another where the natural structural response dominates. The former is obtained in the more flexible cases (f(nat) < f(turb)), while the latter in the more rigid ones (f(nat) > f(turb)). We observe that in the turbulencedominated regime, the fiber always sways at a frequency proportional to the largest scale of the flow, regardless of its structural parameters. The hindrance of the clamp to the wall prevents the synchronization of the fiber with turbulent eddies of comparable size.
