Abstrakt: In order to predict vortex induced vibration (VIV) of flexible tubes, the flexible tube was modeled as an Euler-Bernoulli type beam and the equations of motion for the tube under VIV were derived based on the fluid force coefficients obtained through fluid-structure interaction simulation and the wake oscillator model respectively. Two theoretical models for predicting VIV of the flexible tube were presented. Firstly, the infinite-dimensional model was discretized with the 4-order Galerkin technique. The tube vibration responses induced by cross flow was predicted successfully with the fluid force coefficients obtained through fully fluid-structure coupling simulation. Then, the results predicted by the wake oscillator model were compared with those by the fluid-structure interaction simulation. The research shows that, the vibration amplitudes predicted by the harmonic fluid force model is smaller than that predicted by the fluid-structure interaction simulation. However, the wake oscillator model properly simulates the vortex induced vibration characteristics of the tube, which agrees well with the fluid-structure interaction numerical results. That indicates the wake oscillator model is a feasible way to predict the vortex induced flexible tube vibration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
