The invention discloses a device for inhibiting vortex-induced vibration of an
underwater standpipe of a fish-
tail imitating
cowling, belonging to field of laying technology of ocean standpipe facilities. The device is used for installing the fish-
tail imitating
cowling which can change the direction along with the flowing direction of
water flow on the
underwater standpipe. The device comprises a rotary module, a
cowling fixing pad, a cowling and a fish-
tail flexible plate, wherein the cowling has a figure of round front part and sharp rear part, has
smooth surface and is slightly like the shape of a drip. The arc part of the cowling is coaxial with the standpipe. The cowling is connected with a main
pipe by the rotary module that can be assembled and disassembled conveniently so that the cowling can rotate freely around the standpipe. A small-density
buoyancy material is added to the hollow part of the cowling. The fish-tail flexible plate is arranged at the tail of the cowling so as to reduce the forward flow angle of the cowling, therefore, a better effect of reducing resistance and inhibiting vortex-induced vibration is achieved. The device can effectively inhibit the vortex-induced vibration; therefore, the anti-fatigue strength of the
underwater standpipe can be improved, so as to greatly reduce the
engineering cost. Simultaneously the limit of certain vortex-induced vibration inhibiting devices on the forward flow direction can be overcome, therefore, the device has extremely high application values in the environments where the water flowing direction of oceans orrivers changes frequently.
