Vortex induced vibration (VIV) is the vibration of an object caused by the flow of air or liquid around it. The vibration is caused by vortex shedding, a periodic instability that occurs in the wake ...

Fluid flow across a flexible or elastically mounted structure causes vibrations due to vortex shedding and other similar instabilities, like galloping. The flow-induced vibrations (FIV) are ...
