The hydrodynamic forces acting on a long flexible circular cylinder responding to VIV
Distributions of the fluid forces acting along a long flexible circular cylinder free to respond in-line and transverse to a stepped current are presented. Forces are calculated using a finite element model of the cylinder with measured responses providing the input. The length to diameter ratio of the model used was 469, the mass ratio was 3 and the Reynolds number could be varied up to maximum value of approximately 2:6 ¢104. Fluid force coefficients for two cases are presented: in the first, the dominant modes are the 2nd cross-flow and the 4th in line. For the second case the leading modes are the 7th and 12th respectively. In general, transverse force coefficients and in-line drag coefficients are found to be larger than those measured for short sections of cylinder undergoing free and forced one and two-dimensional motions. It is anticipated that the results will be of value to developers of vortex-induced vibration prediction methods.

Abstract

Distributions of the fluid forces acting along a long flexible circular cylinder free to respond in-line and transverse to a stepped current are presented. Forces are calculated using a finite element model of the cylinder with measured responses providing the input. The length to diameter ratio of the model used was 469, the mass ratio was 3 and the Reynolds number could be varied up to maximum value of approximately 2:6 ¢104. Fluid force coefficients for two cases are presented: in the first, the dominant modes are the 2nd cross-flow and the 4th in line. For the second case the leading modes are the 7th and 12th respectively. In general, transverse force coefficients and in-line drag coefficients are found to be larger than those measured for short sections of cylinder undergoing free and forced one and two-dimensional motions. It is anticipated that the results will be of value to developers of vortex-induced vibration prediction methods.
