Opis

The VIVACE Converter design is based on the very simple idea of en­hancing rather than spoiling vortex shedding and maximizing under significant damping rather than suppressing Vortex Induced Vibra­tions (VIV), and harnessing rather than mitigating VIV energy. In this work an attempt to understand the effect of damping, Reynolds num­ber, proximity to free surface, proximity to solid rigid boundaries, strategically located roughness on the amplitude of oscillation and synchronization range of VIV is made.
