ABSTRACT The global ocean current energy is very abundant, however, the traditional ocean energy utilizing devices can hardly adapt to the low-velocity ocean currents which are widely distributed. Recently, the VIVACE (Vortex Induced Vibration Aquatic Clean Energy), a device which can effectively convert the low-velocity ocean currents into electrical energy by using the vortex-induced vibrations of a cylinder array has attracted great interest from both academic and industrial communities due to its broad application prospects. Based on the above research background, this paper numerically investigated the vortex-induced vibration of the simplest cylinderl array - two side-by-side arranged circular cylinders. A parallel LES code named CgLes, which has a high computing efficiency, is used for the numerical simulation of the vortex-induced vibration of two side-by-side arranged elastically supported rigid circular cylinders in incompressible viscous fluid. The governing equations for fluid motion are the Navier-Stokes equations and the structure motion is governed by the Newton’s second law. And, the iterative immersed boundary method is applied to solve the fluid-structure interaction problem. The computational parameters of the simulation is that the Reynolds number is Re =100 , the cylinders’ mass ratio is  m* ??2 , the reduced velocity is from 3.0 to 10.0, and the spacing ratio is from 2.0 to 5.0. The dimensionless characteristic parameters of the vortex-induced vibrations, such as the lift coefficient, the drag coefficient and the dimensionless amplitude, were presented. The effects of the reduced velocity and the spacing ratio on these parameters were systematically analyzed. Three near-wake modes were observed and their relationships with the vibration responses of cylinders, together with the coupling effects between two cylinders, were analyzed and summarized.
