Funded Activity Summary

Flow-induced vibration of slender structures and its control. This project aims to expand substantially the state of knowledge on the flow-induced vibrations of bluff, slender structures such as cylinders, beams, and cables. A framework is expected to be developed that describes the flow-induced vibration of these structures systematically, adding new data and drawing links between previously disparate areas of research. The significance of such a framework is great, as not only is flow-induced vibration a problem in many engineering applications (such as marine oil risers, chimneys, and bridges) it can also be exploited for renewable energy generation. Control mechanisms are also expected to be developed to maximise the energy generation potential.
