Vortex induced vibrations of cylinders: experiments in reducing drag force and amplitude of motion
Reducing the deleterious effect of Vortex Induced Vibrations (VIV) in marine risers is an important task for ocean engineers; and many competing factors exist in the design of VIV suppression devices. This thesis explores the experimental minimization of the drag force and the disruption of the vort...
