By Vortex breakers I am referring to the spiral vanes on a vertical column. How do these work. Do they assist in deflecting off a forming vortice.

Are the Vortex breakers the same as the guides or is that the guides serve as stiffening members to the column. Can anyone please post a picture of it.

Hi Dharmendra
yes, guides will be fine. Once you have the design windspeed, you can work out the vortex shedding rate and adjust the guide spacing or pipe stiffness to achieve the required pipe natural frequency margin. I have never done this study on pipes, only on stacks, but the theory should be very similar. In many regions, the seismic requirements have a greater effect on design than vortex shedding, so I would check for the limiting case before designing the detail.
Cheers
Steve

Dear All,
How to avoid vibrations induced in long vertical risers due to vortex shedding at high wind velocities?
Will guides at regular intervals be sufficient to prevent such vibrations?
