VIV Excitation Competition Between Bare and Buoyant Segments of Flexible Cylinders

This paper addresses a practical problem: "Under which coverage of buoyancy modules, would the Vortex Induced Vibration (VIV) excitation on buoyant segments dominate the response?" This paper explores the excitation competition between bare and buoyant segments of a 38 meter long model ris...
