Reynolds Number Dependence of Flexible Cylinder VIV Response Data - OMAE-57531

Abstract

The response amplitude and the nondimensional frequency of flexible cylinder vortexinduced vibrations from laboratory and field experiments show significant trends with increasing Reynolds number from 103 to 2 xx0;0;0;3;105. The analysis uses complex data from experiments with wide variations in the physical parameters of the system, including length-to-diameter ratios from 82 to 4236, tension dominated natural frequencies and bending stiffness dominated natural frequencies, sub-critical and critical Reynolds numbers, different damping coefficients, standing wave and traveling wave vibrations, mode numbers from 1−25th, and different mass ratios.
