Abstract

As a fundamental fluid-structure interaction (FSI) phenomenon, vortex-induced vibrations (VIVs) of circular cylinders have been the center of the FSI research in the past several decades. Apart from its scientific significance in rich physics, VIVs are paid great attentions by offshore engineers, as they are encountered in many ocean engineering applications. Recently, with the development of research and application, wake-induced vibration (WIV) for multiple cylinders and galloping for VIV suppression attachments are attracting a growing research interest. All these phenomena are connected with the flow-induced vibration (FIV). In this paper, we review and give some discussions on the FIV of offshore circular cylinders, including the research progress on the basic VIV mechanism of an isolated rigid or flexible cylinder, interference of multiple cylinders concerning WIV of multiple cylinders, practical VIV suppression and unwanted galloping for cylinder of attachments. Finally, we draw concluding remarks, give some comments and propose future research prospects, especially on the major challenges as well as potentials in the offline/online modelling and prediction of real-scale offshore structures with high-fidelity CFD methods, new experimental facilities and applications of artificial intelligence tools.
