Nowadays, in ocean engineering applica- tion, the hydrodynamic coecients, used to predict the VIV of flexible cylinders, are mainly acquired from the forced oscillations of rigid cylinders in cross-flow, which may account for the unexpected errors. Taking the coupling between cross-flow (CF) and in-line (IL) vibrations into account, a fluid force model is proposed in this paper. Lift, impulse drag and added mass coecients are obtained by the finite element method and least square method. A series of experimen- tal tests of a flexible cylinder with a mass ratio of 1.82 and an aspect ratio of 195.5 are conducted in a towing tank to investigate the hydrodynamic coecients on the flexible cylinder undergoing VIV. Comparing to the hydrodynamic char- acteristics of rigid cylinders, those of a flexible cylinder are further studied. Under the first-order mode, the hydrodynamic coecients of a flexible cylinder share the same variation with those of rigid cylinders. A remarkable growth on lift and impulse drag coecients is observed u
