Objectives and Challenges for High Mode Number, Flow-Induced Vibration Model Tests in Sheared Flow
Prof. J. Kim Vandiver MIT June 3, 2003
Principal Issues for High Mode Number VIV Response Prediction Does lock-in occur at high mode number in uniform and sheared flow? What are the statistics of single versus multi-frequency response in sheared flow? What are the statistics of in-line and crossflow response?
Do hydrodynamic damping models need improvement? What fairing or strake coverage is required What is the effect of Reynolds number on St, CL damping and suppression effectiveness.

Castine field experiment in uniform flow(1981) Uniform flow on short lengths(75 feet)

Site layout
Cable was PVC plastic tubing with accelerometers, wires, strength members and potting compound, D=1.25 inches., s.g.=1.4 Pipe was 1.631 inch steel tube with the cable pulled inside as the measuring instrument. S.g.=2.4 Wire rope was polyethylene coated oceanographic wire, 3x19 construction. D=.28 inches, s.g.=2.5
Castine pipe response, L=75 ft, D=1.63 inches, specific gravity = 2.4
Stable lock-in events are aided by isolated natural frequencies with no overlap.
Tension
An example from Helland Hansen: Peak frequencies versus time. What is going on?

Wire rope: L=75 ft, D=0.25 inches, specific gravity = 2.6 Steady beating around 6th mode, components 0.6 Hz apart Reduced velocity bandwidth of +-20%=+-2.6Hz
Mode Number
Nearly uniform flow on a 900 foot long sample. +- 10% flow variation along the length Lock-in at 50th mode Conclusions: High mass ratio provides stable sharp resonances. VR bandwidth allows for some spatial tolerance to flow variations. Single frequency dominance is possible in nearly uniform flows, even at high mode number.
A O The role ofLdamping in uniform flow? The reduced damping is a statement of dynamic equilibrium.
