Abstract:
A helical strake for suppressing a vortex induced vibration (VIV) of a tubular. The helical strake having a shell dimensioned to at least partially encircle an underlying tubular, the shell having at least one fin opening; and at least one fin dimensioned to be positioned within the at least one fin opening formed by the shell, the at least one fin having a base portion dimensioned to be positioned along an underlying tubular and a tail portion dimensioned to extend through the at least one fin opening and radially outward from an underlying tubular.

Claim (Index 16):
A helical strake for suppressing a vortex induced vibration (VIV) of a tubular, the helical strake comprising:\n a shell comprising a plurality of shell members that are dimensioned to at least partially encircle an underlying tubular, the shell members having a center portion that conforms to a shape of the underlying tubular and a pair of flanges that extend radially outward from opposite sides of the center portion, and wherein the pair of flanges of one of the shell members are dimensioned to align with the pair of flanges of adjacent shell members to form a plurality of helical extension member along the underlying tubular.
