Dynamic interaction of subsea pipeline spans due to vortex-Induced Vibrations

When currents are present around a subsea pipeline, vortices are shed alternately from the upper and lower sides of the pipe. The vortex shedding can induce vibrations in areas where the pipe is suspended above the seabed. These vibrations are called Vortex-Induced Vibrations (VIV). VIV have been and still are a cause of concern for pipeline...
