This study employs Large Eddy Simulation (LES) with dynamic mesh techniques to investigate fluid-structure interaction (FSI) mechanisms in a forced-vibration square prism under across-wind excitation. To effectively validate the reliability of the numerical simulation results, this study adopts model parameters consistent with the wind tunnel tests conducted by Steckley (1989). Accordingly, the numerical model was benchmarked against this dataset and demonstrated good agreement for both the base bending moment coefficients under stationary case and the aerodynamic damping/stiffness parameters under forced vibration cases. Key findings reveal distinct regimes governed by reduced velocity: within the lock-in regime, forced vibration induces frequency synchronization between vortex shedding and structural motion, generating secondary spectral peaks in base moment coefficients. Coherence analysis demonstrates strong vibration-aerodynamic coupling concentrated in the upper prism region, driven by amplified Kármán vortex development under motion-induced energy injection. Transient flow analysis identifies two competing three-dimensional (3D) vortex mechanisms: horizontal vortex street dominance during high-amplitude fluctuations and tip-conical vortex suppression under forced vibration. Beyond lock-in wind speed, aerodynamic spectra revert to static characteristics. The present study establishes a predictive framework for motion-induced aerodynamic forces in tower structures, resolving critical nonlinearities in vortex-induced vibration through quantified energy transfer pathways. Practical implications include refined aerodynamic damping models and spanwise coherence criteria for wind-resistant design of tower-like structures.
