This paper presents a study on active control of the wakes and one-dimensional vortex-
induced vibrations (VIVs) of a single circular cylinder using a pair of synthetic jets (SJs) at a
low Reynolds number Re= 100. To facilitate this study, a lattice Boltzmann method based
numerical framework is established, in which the multi-block scheme and the overlap-mesh
approach with improved information exchange mechanisms are used to balance the
computational accuracy and efficiency, and the interpolated bounce-back scheme and a …
