We study cross-flow vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of a linearly sprung circular cylinder equipped with a dissipative oscillator with cubic stiffness nonlinearity, restrained to move in the direction of travel of the cylinder. The dissipative, essentially nonlinear coupling between the cylinder and the oscillator allows for targeted energy transfer (TET) from the former to the latter, whereby the oscillator acts as a nonlinear energy sink (NES) capable of passively suppressing cylinder oscillations. For fixed values of the Reynolds number (Re = 48, slightly above the fixed-cylinder Hopf bifurcation), cylinder-to-fluid density ratio, and dimensionless cylinder spring constant, spectral-element simulations of the Navier–Stokes equations coupled to the rigid-body motion show that different combinations of NES parameters lead to different long-time attractors of the dynamics. We identify four such attractors which do not coexist at any given point in the parameter space, three of which lead to at least partial VIV suppression. We construct a reduced-order model (ROM) of the fluid–structure interaction (FSI) based on a wake oscillator to analytically study those four mechanisms seen in the high-fidelity simulations and determine their respective regions of existence in the parameter space. Asymptotic analysis of the ROM relies on complexification-averaging (CX-A) and slow–fast partition of the transient dynamics and predicts the existence of complete and partial VIV-suppression mechanisms, relaxation cycles, and Hopf and Shilnikov bifurcations. These outcomes are confirmed by numerical integration of the ROM and comparisons with spectral-element simulations of the full system.
