Abstract: A great deal of consideration has been given to flow-bluff body interactions because of the practical need to know the fluid forces acting on bodies immersed in a flowing stream. A flow ...

Abstract: The oceans and their environment have long been envisioned as renewable sources of energy. It is the purpose of this paper to assess the feasibility of drawing on the sea for power and to ...

Abstract: Many studies of flow-bluff body interactions have been undertaken because of the practical need to know the fluid forces acting on a body immersed in a flowing stream. Experiments were performed ...

Abstract: The cross-flow vibrations of a single tube are considered in this paper, for incident flows of air and water. Recent experimental measurements of the resonant response of and fluid dynamic ...

Abstract: Examples of the uses of slack cables in marine and offshore applications include deepwater moorings and the guy lines of towers and platforms. A brief summary is given of some of the important ...

Abstract: The von Karman vortex streets formed in the wakes of vibrating, flexible cables were studied using a hot-wire anemometer. All the experiments took place in the flow regime where the vibration ...

Abstract: Many types of marine structures are susceptible to vortex-excited oscillations. These include the risers and conductor tubes that are employed in offshore drilling and production, deep water ...
