Numerical Investigation of Vortex-Induced Vibrations of a Flexible Riser with Staggered Buoyancy Elements

This paper presents a numerical algorithm used together with a Finite-Element based Vortex-Induced Vibration (VIV) prediction software VIVANA to obtain a hydrodynamic force coefficient database based on response measurements of flexible riser VIV model test of staggered buoyancy elements. The excita...
