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 ...

Fluid–structure interaction (FSI) encompasses the complex interplay between fluid flows and structures, where the dynamics of a fluid can induce oscillatory responses in structures and, reciprocally, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Slow-moving ocean and river currents could be a new, reliable and affordable alternative energy source. Engineers have made a machine that works like a fish to turn potentially destructive vibrations ...

In this special guest feature, Robert Roe from Scientific Computing World writes that HPC simulation provides a platform to develop advancements in energy generation technologies. Through the use of ...
