Effects of Strake Coverage and Marine Growth on Flexible Cylinder Vortex-Induced Vibrations

This paper presents some results from the recent SHELL tests at the MARINTEK basin. The tests involved towing densely instrumented flexible cylinders at Reynolds numbers up to 220,000. The main objective is to present the experimental results describing the effectiveness of different amounts of stra...
