N2 - Theoretical analysis and numerical results have shown that frequency lock-in in vortex-induced vibration (VIV) is caused by the instability of the structural mode rather than a resonant response to external excitations. However, there is a lack of experimental evidence supporting relevant theoretical research findings. This study investigates VIV suppression with a passive modal controller (PMC) for a circular cylinder at Reynolds numbers Re = 60 and Re = 40, using experiments to distinguish the effects of stable and unstable wake modes. Comparative analysis before and after the implementation of the PMC reveals significant reduction in the vibration amplitude and the disappearance of the lock-in phenomenon at Re = 60. The vibration frequency closely follows the vortex shedding frequency after control, while dynamic mode decomposition of the flow field indicates that the wake mode is dominant. For Re = 40, the vibration is eliminated and the flow becomes steady. Additionally, the root loci of the coupled system are investigated before and after the PMC implementation via linear stability analysis. The results indicate that the PMC can alter the dynamic characteristics of the original system, causing the structural mode and PMC mode to couple when approaching the PMC frequency. Then, the interaction typically improves the stability of the structural mode. Finally, a parametric study is conducted in the experiment, as well as a linear stability analysis. The study provides experimental evidence that stability control of the structural mode is the key to suppressing VIV and eliminating the lock-in phenomenon.
