Abstract
- The drag and added mass coefficients of a flexible pipe undergoing vortex-induced vibration (VIV) in an oscillatory flow are investigated experimentally with maximum reduced velocities ranging from 4 to 7.9 and Keulegan-Carpenter (KC) numbers ranging from 10 to 178. The strain responses are measured by fiber bragg grating sensors. By using displacement reconstruction and inverse analysis methods, displacement response and hydrodynamic force are identified. Then, through least square method, drag and added mass coefficients are extracted. The results show that drag coefficient varies with both the maximum reduced velocity and KC number. It is stable in cases with large KC numbers but significantly amplified in the cases of small KC numbers. The maximum value of the drag coefficient can reach 3.5 at kC
