WATER DRAG EFFECTS OF FLOW INDUCED CABLE VIBRATIONS

Abstract

A study was performed on smooth, circular, flexible cables to determine the water drag characteristics that are dependent upon the cable strumming phenomenon. The test cable diameters ranged from 0.057 to 0.140 in. and the Reynolds numbers were within 300 to 1300. The study was a prerequisite to developing cables with low drag and low strumming characteristics.
