Abstract:
A fairing device and method for the reduction of vortex-induced vibrations or motions, the minimization of drag about a substantially cylindrical element immersed in a fluid medium, comprising; a fairing rotatably mounted about the cylindrical element, the fairing comprising a shell with a mainly cylindrical cross-sectional shape with an outer diameter (D) following the outer diameter of the cylindrical element from an upward stagnation point of 0 degrees to at least ±90 degrees, and which at ±90 degrees continues as two fin-like portions in an aft direction, further comprising that the fin-like portions are convexly curved aft of ±90 degrees thus tapering towards each other and defining a tail end opening or gap less than the fairing standoff height. A method for mounting, storage, and deployment of the fairing device is also disclosed.

Claim (Index 2):
The method of  claim 1 , further comprising\n applying at least one shape-fixation device inside the fairing device along the axial direction by unfolding at least one hinged shape-fixation device or devices from between the cylindrical element and the fairing device; and securing and locking the said shape fixation device or devices to the fairing device and to the cylindrical element by means of a locking pin.
