In the offshore subsea environment, weather disruptions and changes in the oceanic environment are common considerations for operators. Reducing the effects of such factors is key to keeping costs low ...

Fluid flow across a flexible or elastically mounted structure causes vibrations due to vortex shedding and other similar instabilities, like galloping. The flow-induced vibrations (FIV) are ...

Vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) are a critical aerodynamic phenomenon affecting the dynamic performance and structural integrity of long-span bridges. These oscillations arise when alternating ...

ANN ARBOR, Mich.---Slow-moving ocean and river currents could be a new, reliable and affordable alternative energy source. A University of Michigan engineer has made a machine that works like a fish ...

Vivace is a new energy technology that gets its name from a phenomenon that engineers have been battling for 25 years. VIV (vortex induced vibrations) destroyed the Narrows Bridge in Washington State ...

Petróleo Brasileiro SA (Petrobras) has used computational fluid dynamics (CFD), an analytical simulation tool for studying fluid mechanics, to determine possible causes of and solutions to ...

Cable-stayed bridges, remarkable feats of modern engineering, face significant challenges due to vibrations induced by wind, rain, and dynamic loads. Research in vibration control has advanced ...

Compressible fluid flow through control valves will inevitably cause some form of flow-induced vibration in the fluid system. Identifying the type and cause of the vibration requires detective work.
