Predicting Vortex Induced-Vibrations Using CFD and Wake Oscillator Models

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingPublished conference contribution

Abstract

In this study vortex induced vibrations of slender structures in marine environment are considered. Two different approaches are adopted to analyse the complex fluid-structure interactions. First reduced-order model based on non-linear self-excited oscillator of van der Pol type (so-called wake oscillator model) is used to construct multi modes approximations of the transversal oscillations of the straight flexible beam. Then computational fluid dynamics is used to verify the obtained predictions and to calibrate the wake oscillator model. Entrance to and exit from the lock-in conditions are examined in details.
