Project

Deformable Tube VIV

Vortex-induced vibration of a deformable tube showing the coupling between structural deformation and wake dynamics.

1 Challenge

Understanding vortex-induced vibration of deformable structures in fluid flow.

2 CFD Approach

A deformable tube immersed in a flow of viscous fluid with flow directed from left to right. The tube ends are fixed.

3 Results

Instantaneous streamlines and pressure contours show the tube oscillation under fluid pressure and shear stresses.

4 Engineering Conclusion

The simulation demonstrates VIV phenomena in deformable structures.
