The GUNT HM 162.61 Vibrating Piles accessory enables the study of vibrations in piles caused by flowing water, simulating conditions faced by jetties or drilling platforms. Flow around a pile can form a Karman vortex street, with detaching vortices altering the flow direction. If the vortex shedding frequency matches the natural frequency of the pile, it may lead to component failure.
