These tests were performed using an innovative, resonant VIV Test Rig designed to provide credible VIV data for full- scale riser sections. We tested...

... concentration. This was appropriate at the time, as it was necessary to understand of the scope of the explosion hazard and to provide well defined experiments against which explosion models could be validated. However, there was a clear need to investigate more realistic conditions. programme test rig...
