This research project is part of a study on wake-induced vibration, which aims to analyze the behavior of a moving cylinder, after suffering interference from a fixed cylinder vortex. In the experiment, there will be a variation in the mass and damping of the moving cylinder, as well as a variation in the distance between the cylinders. The project covers the experimental part of the stud…
The flow-induced vibrations have become a major concern for the offshore industry when oil exploration reached so-called ultra-deep watersdeep. As marine currents change their direction and direction along the length of the ducts, it is practically impossible to prevent some of the pipes (risers) are subject to interference with the other structures submerged. As a result, the possibility…
This is a research project that aims to investigate, analyze and then characterize the flow profile of the recirculating water channel for low-Reynolds number experiments at NDF/EPUSP. This characterization is important because this channel has never experienced such a characterization, and accuracies of data from future trials in this channel depend on this characterization. For this, ex…
The goal of the project is to carry out measurements of flow velocity in the channel test section to determine the flow profile. By way of non-intrusive techniques flow velocity measurements will be collected at several points distributed in a plane transverse to the test section. This information allows to determine the average speed of each point, as well as its fluctuation in time.

Tidal turbines can be arranged in offshore farms to generate clean energy from tidal currents. An array of turbines may suffer from flow interference effects that can reduce the hydrodynamic efficiency of the individual system and the whole arrangement. Numerical and theoretical models try to account for such complex interactions, but they require experimental validation in order to be tu…
