Vortex-Induced Vibrations (VIV) is a ubiquitous phenomenon caused by shedding vortices behind bluff bodies. VIV induced by ocean currents and waves generates fatigue damage in riser systems. This disturbance creates a big challenge for designing ocean exploration systems. A key feature in determining VIV is the shape and size of the bluff bodies. Therefore, a new design shape, riser section with buoyancy...
