Experimental Vortex-induced Vibrations of a Streamlined Deck

The video shows vortex-induced vibrations of a streamlined deck with railings. The sectional model is suspended on four springs and tested in a closed-circuit wind tunnel.

We performed the tests in the Bauhaus University Wind Tunnel at the Chair of Modelling and Simulation of Structures. Many thanks to Luis Federico Navarro Vilchez and the whole wind team who contributed to the experiment.
