Classic VIV Catastrophe
If ignored, these vibrations can prove catastrophic to
structures, as they did in the case of the Tacoma
Narrows Bridge in 1940.
Potential Flow
U(q) = 2U sinq
P(q) = 1/2 r U(q)2 = P + 1/2 r U2
Cp = {P(q) - P }/{1/2 r U2}= 1 - 4sin2q

Shear layer instability causes
vortex roll-up
• Flow speed outside wake is much higher than inside
• Vorticity gathers at downcrossing points in upper layer
• Vorticity gathers at upcrossings in lower layer
• Induced velocities (due to vortices) causes this
perturbation to amplify

Vortex Shedding Generates
forces on Cylinder
Uo
Both Lift and Drag forces persist
on a cylinder in cross flow. Lift
is perpendicular to the inflow
velocity and drag is parallel.
FL(t)
FD(t)
Due to the alternating vortex wake (“Karman street”) the
oscillations in lift force occur at the vortex shedding frequency
and oscillations in drag force occur at twice the vortex
shedding frequency.
Vortex Induced Forces
Due to unsteady flow, forces, X(t) and Y(t), vary with time.

Rigid cylinder is now similar
to a spring-mass system with
a harmonic forcing term.
DRAG = D(t) = Do cos (2wst+ )
ws = 2p fs
“Lock-in”
A cylinder is said to be “locked in” when the frequency of
oscillation is equal to the frequency of vortex shedding. In this
region the largest amplitude oscillations occur.

Lift Force on a Cylinder
Lift force is sinusoidal component and residual force. Filtering
the recorded lift data will give the sinusoidal term which can
be subtracted from the total force.

• If CLv > 0 then the fluid force amplifies the motion
instead of opposing it. This is self-excited
oscillation.
• Cma, CLv are dependent on w and a.

Flexible Cylinders
Mooring lines and towing
cables act in similar fashion to
rigid cylinders except that
their motion is not spanwise
uniform.
t
Tension in the cable must be considered
when determining equations of motion
Flexible Cylinder Motion Trajectories
Long flexible cylinders can move in two directions and
tend to trace a figure-8 motion. The motion is dictated by
the tension in the cable and the speed of towing.

• Shedding patterns in the wake of oscillating
cylinders are distinct and exist for a certain range
of heave frequencies and amplitudes.
• The different modes have a great impact on
structural loading.

• Non-uniform currents
effect the spanwise vortex
shedding on a cable or
riser.
• The frequency of shedding
can be different along
length.
• This leads to “cells” of
vortex shedding with
some length, lc.

A Hybrid Shedding Mode
• ‘2P’ pattern results at
the smaller end
• ‘2S’ pattern at the
larger end
• This mode is seen to
be repeatable over
multiple cycles

‘2S’ velocimetry (DPIV)

leads to a clear
picture of two distinct
shedding modes along

At e/d > 1 the wall effects are reduced.
Cd, Cm increase as e/d < 0.5
Vortex shedding is significantly effected by the wall presence.
In the absence of viscosity these effects are effectively non-existent.

Torsional Galloping
Both torsional and lateral galloping are possible.
FLUTTER occurs when the frequency of the torsional
and lateral vibrations are very close.
Galloping vs. VIV
• Galloping is low frequency
• Galloping is NOT self-limiting
• Once U > Ucritical then the instability occurs
irregardless of frequencies.
