“…However, it is well known that the introduction of such devices along the long slender structure modifies the structural configuration and increases the drag forces, apart from their high costs in manufacturing, installation, and maintenance. Alternatively, active flow controls by introducing, for instance, a surface suction and blowing [8], an acoustic actuation [15,21], and a neighboring rotational cylinder [14,20,24] have also been explored with the aim of delaying, interrupting, or intervening in the vortex formation process in the wake. Nevertheless, due to the frequent changes and uncertainties in ocean environments, it might be impractical to accurately predict the space-time-varying vortex formations and implement the active flow control methods in real time for deep-water structures.…”
