Popis: In this paper, vortex-induced vibration of a circular cylinder with forced convection heat transfer and entropy generation in pulsating alumina–water nanofluid flow is investigated numerically. Numerical simulation is carried out for a constant mass ratio of 2 and damping ratio of 0.01 at a fixed Reynolds number of 150. The ranges of reduced velocity, particle volume fraction and inlet velocity oscillation amplitude are 3–8, 0–5% and 0–1, respectively. It was found that the lock-in phenomenon, nanofluid concentration and inlet velocity oscillation amplitude have an effective role in increasing heat transfer and decreasing entropy generation. Two wake patterns (2S and 2P) were observed in the present simulation. For velocity oscillation amplitude of 1, the transition from 2S to 2P modes occurs in vortex shedding pattern.
