Vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) are a critical aerodynamic phenomenon affecting the dynamic performance and structural integrity of long-span bridges. These oscillations arise when alternating ...

Vortex induced vibration (VIV) is the vibration of an object caused by the flow of air or liquid around it. The vibration is caused by vortex shedding, a periodic instability that occurs in the wake ...

Fluid flow across a flexible or elastically mounted structure causes vibrations due to vortex shedding and other similar instabilities, like galloping. The flow-induced vibrations (FIV) are ...

In the offshore subsea environment, weather disruptions and changes in the oceanic environment are common considerations for operators. Reducing the effects of such factors is key to keeping costs low ...

Dynamic pressures often lead to stress failures in conventional thermowells. A white paper by Emerson details options to minimize the impacts of vortex-inducted vibration (VIV). Emerson focuses on ...

Vortex-Induced Vibration (VIV) suppression devices are installed on slender offshore structures—drilling and production risers, steel catenary risers (SCRs), top-tensioned risers (TTRs), umbilicals, ...
