The flow past inline oscillating rectangular cylinders is studied numerically at a Reynolds number representative of two-dimensional flow. A symmetric mode, known as S-II, consisting of a pair of oppositely-signed vortices on each side, observed recently in experiments, is obtained computationally. A new symmetric mode, named here as S-III, is also found. At low oscillation amplitudes, the vortex shedding pattern transitions from antisymmetric to symmetric smoothly via a regime of intermediate phase. At higher amplitudes, this intermediate regime is chaotic. The finding of chaos extends and complements the recent work of Perdikaris et al. [1]. Moreover it shows that the chaos results from a competition between antisymmetric and symmetric shedding modes. Rectangular cylinders rather than square are seen to facilitate these observations. A global, and very reliable, measure is used to establish the existence of chaos.
