Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a device in the technical field of marine engineering, in particular to a flexible riser model for a real Reynolds number vortex-induced vibration test. Background technique
[0002] According to the knowledge of fluid mechanics, when a columnar structure is placed in a certain speed of incoming flow, alternate vortices will occur on both sides of it. Associated with the creation and discharge of vortices, the column is subjected to lateral and flow-wise pulsating pressures. If the column is elastically supported at this point, the pulsating fluid forces will induce vibrations in the column, which in turn will change the structure of its wake. This fluid-structure interaction problem is called vortex-induced vibration. For example, under the action of ocean currents, vortex-induced vibrations will occur on flexible pipes such as offshore platform risers, tow cables, submarine pipelines, spar platform buoys, mooring cables, et...
