Dynamic pressures often lead to stress failures in conventional thermowells. A white paper by Emerson details options to minimize the impacts of vortex-inducted vibration (VIV). Emerson focuses on ...

When a current flows past a cylindrical object such as a riser, tendon, jumper or horizontal pipeline span, it creates a phenomenon called vortex-induced vibration (VIV). The friction of the ...

"No one has ever thought of patenting this idea, even though vortex induced vibrations were first observed in 1504 by Leonardo da Vinci." One major problem is that most underwater turbines require ...

At a certain inlet velocity, vortex production can even be eliminated ... in the cage or stack has no impact on flow-induced sympathetic vibration. In the flow-to-open direction, the pressure ...

VIVACE stands for Vortex Induced Vibrations for Aquatic Clean Energy. It doesn't depend on waves, tides, turbines or dams. It's a unique hydrokinetic energy system that relies on "vortex induced ...

VIV (vortex induced vibrations) destroyed the Narrows Bridge in Washington State in 1940, and the Ferrybridge power station cooling towers in England in 1965. Ironically it is also the same ...

VIVACE, which stands for Vortex Induced Vibrations for Aquatic Clean Energy, can generate power from as little as 2 knots, making it more useful than most turbine and water mill systems out there ...
