Ramp Tests: A Novel Approach to VIV Model Testing of Flexible Cylinders Using Continuously Varying Towing Speeds
In this paper we present a small portion of the results from the 2011 SHELL tests at the MARINTEK basin. The tests involved towing densely instrumented flexible cylinders at Reynolds numbers up to 150,000 in order to study the Vortex-Induced Vibration (VIV) response in uniform current profiles. This...
