Vortex Shedding from Cables and Structures in a Shear Flow: State-of- the-Art.
Abstract
This report examines the general problem of the flow about bluff bodies in a shear flow in light of the present state of knowledge for these flows, and relates existing studies to the vortex-excited oscillations of slender, flexible structures in air and in water. Experiments with circular cylinders are emphasized, although reference also is made to experiments conducted with cylinders of other cross-sections (D-section cylinders, rectangular cylinders, etc.). Some recent experiments with flexible cables in a shear flow are discussed to the extent possible.
