Abstract
This study takes place in the “fluid–structure interaction” area. The experiment consists of a large vertical thin fabrics tube whose lower extreme is fixed to an air blower exit. For a sufficient intensity of the air flow, the tube stands up. Whereas these kinds of systems have different characteristics than previous studies (Païdoussis 1998) we find that at the instability threshold, the tube oscillates with a frequency of the same order of magnitude as in these previous works.
