U-shaped fairings suppress vortex-induced vibrations for cylinders in cross-flow

U-shaped fairings suppress vortex-induced vibrations for cylinders in cross-flow

We employ three-dimensional direct and large-eddy numerical simulations of the vibrations and flow past cylinders fitted with free-to-rotate U-shaped fairings placed in a cross-flow at Reynolds number 100 ⩽ Re ⩽ 10,000. Such fairings are nearly neutrally buoyant devices fitted along the axis of long...
