  • Descrição: The offshore oil industry is engaged in the development of new floating platforms, such as Spar, semi-submersible, tension-leg, FPSO and monocolumn for the exploration of deep and ultra-deep waters. Some of these floating systems have circular cross sections (or cross sections of other bluff geometries) being susceptible to vortex-induced vibrations (VIV). Vortex shedding behind a bluff body can be altered, suppressed or controlled over a limited range of Reynolds numbers. Various flow-control techniques, which result in the reduction of drag and unsteady forces, have been suggested and tested in simple geometries. One such method is the moving-surface boundary layer control (MSBC), in which smaller control rotating cylinders are placed close to the bluff body. This method is considered as an inspiration for the present experimental investigation of VIV suppression for omni-directional flows. In this context, three different configurations have been assembled to compare the effect of suppression on a plain cylinder surrounded by two, four and eight control cylinders distributed symmetrically around it. Experiments were carried out with static models and models free to oscillate in one-degree-of-freedom with fixed and rotating control cylinders. Experiments with a plain cylinder were performed to serve as reference. Displacements, drag and lift forces were measured. The position of the control cylinders proved to be an important parameter to VIV suppression. Configurations with two control cylinders increased lift and drag forces. In contrast, configurations of four and eight control cylinders showed to be more effective to suppress VIV. Furthermore the results for all the cases of the configuration of eight fixed control cylinders presented a reduction of displacement amplitude, lift and drag forces when compared to a plain cylinder. However, when the control cylinders were actuated, the two cases with rotating control cylinders increased drag force when compared to fixed control cylinders.
