This study aimed to establish the model of the fluid domain and meshed it with ANSYS Workbench. Next, the fluid field was calculated using Fluent. Based on the k-ω model, the 3D numerical simulations were performed to analyze the effects of vortex-induced vibration (VIV) response. The clearance ratio G/D, the external inflow velocity (U, with a unit of m/s), and the inclination degree of the wall were set as different values. The inherent frequency of the cylinder was fixed at 0.4 Hz (f n=0.4Hz), the ratio of Reynolds number (Re) to the reduced velocity Ur remained unchanged, and the external inflow velocity varied within a range of [0.0381, 0.1524]. The results showed that both dimensionless downstream and lateral maximum displacements increased with the external inflow velocity within the preset range. When U = 0.1143 m/s, the maximum dimensionless displacement showed a regular increase with the clearance ratio G/D. The change in the inclination degree of the wall could significantly affect the lateral response of VIV but almost no effect on the downstream response.
