Vortex-induced vibration (VIV) is a phenomenon that occurs when vortices are shed from a structure, typically a cylindrical object, in a fluid flow, generating alternating forces on the structure. This interaction can result in oscillations or vibrations of the structure perpendicular to the flow direction. VIV is particularly relevant in engineering fields such as offshore structures, bridges, and marine risers, where cylindrical elements are exposed to fluid currents.
