Abstract

This book reports on dimensional analysis; ideal fluid models; vortex-induced vibration; galloping
and flutter; instability of tube and cylinder arrays; vibrations induced by oscillating flow;
vibration induced by turbulence and sound; damping of structures; sound induced by vortex
shedding; vibrations of a pipe containing a fluid flow; indices. It covers the analysis of the
vibrations of structures exposed to fluid flows; explores applications for offshore platforms and
piping; wind-induced vibration of buildings, bridges, and towers; and acoustic and mechanical
vibration of heat exchangers, power lines, and process ducting.
