Full-scale VIV tests for marine riser applications
Conference/JournalMARIN report 76
Date1 Apr 2002
Reading time3 minutes
One of the great challenges in the offshore industry is the assessment of the motions of a circular cylinder in waves and current, for application to riser bundles up to a 3,000 m water depth. The fatigue life of riser systems can often be dominated by Vortex-Induced Vibrations (VIV) and riser interference can be largely governed by VIV effects.
