Abstract: Slender offshore structures in deep water subjected to currents may experience vortex-induced vibrations (VIV), which can cause significant fatigue damage. Extensive experimental researches have been conducted to study the ...

Abstract: Vortexinduced vibration (VIV) in oscillatory flow is experimentally investigated in the ocean basin. The test flexible cylinder was forced to harmonically oscillate in various combinations of amplitude and period with ...

Abstract: Production risers as well as drilling risers are often exposed to ocean currents. Vortex-induced vibrations (VIVs) have been observed in the field and can cause fatigue failure and excessive drag on the riser. In order to ...
