The Navier Stokes application mode is used
to model unsteady, incompressible flow
past a
submarine pipeline. The pipe (with
diameter D and wall thickness t) is placed
at an offset e from the center of the flow
velocity field v. The offset e allows to

Mitigation measures to
suppress VIV
Several other add-on devices for
suppression of vortex induced
vibration exist, like axial slats (a),
shrouds (b), ribboned cables (c)
and pivoted guiding vanes (d).
The most commonly used vortex suppression devices are helical
strakes.
Their function is to trigger separation in order to decrease the vortex
shedding correlation along the riser.
They increase the cost of the pipeline, and they will complicate
handling during installation.
The in-line drag coefficient is increased by introducing strakes.
The important parameters for the strake design are the height and
pitch of the helical strakes for a given pipeline diameter.
The overall performance characteristics of a given strake design will
vary with the current velocities.
