    Vortex Shedding Load On Piping

    Uploaded by

    ananyo_sengupta
    Wind flowing across a pipe causes vortices that generate pressure fluctuations, causing the pipe to oscillate in the direction of the wind (drag) and perpendicular to it (lift). The dominant frequency of these vortex-induced oscillations is calculated using the Strouhal number, wind velocity, and pipe diameter. The pipe experiences a sinusoidal lift force whose amplitude depends on the lift coefficient, air density, wind speed, and pipe diameter.

    WIND DESIGN FOR PIPING

    As steady winds flow across a pipe span, they cause vortices behind the pipe. The vortices generate pressure fluctuations that cause the pipe to oscillate in the direction of the wind (drag) and in the direction perpendicular to the wind (lift). The vortex turbulence has a dominant frequency given by

    fvs=n S v/D
    n=1 for lift, 2 for drag fvs=dominant vortex shedding frequency, Hz S=Strouhal number v=wind velocity, in/sec D=pipe outside diameter (including insulation), in

    The Strouhal number for wind vortices around a cylinder is in the order of 0.2

    The pipe is therefore subjected to a sinusoidal lift force per unit length, of frequency fvs with amplitude F given by

    F=CL V2 D/2
    F=lift force per unit length of pipe, lb/in CL=lift coefficient =air mass density, lbm/in3 V=wind velocity, in/sec D=insulated pipe outside diameter, in
