Vortex Shedding
As a flow stream passes an obstacle such as a cylinder or a pipe in its path, vortices are formed behind the obstacle. As the flow speed increases, vortices are alternately shed on each side. A flag that waves in the wind is a good example of vortex shedding.
The flagpole is the obstacle. As the wind passes it is shed into vortices that make the flag wave.

CAUTION: This procedure is a very intense operation and interference or distraction of Riggers and or Positioning Master can be detremental to a successful installation. Based on site conditions wind, waves and currents) the Positioning Masters control and ability to reposition the primary vessel, add or remove other vessels is absolutely essental o minimize the risk during this procedure.

Cable out Load Note: It is of prime importance that the vessel's stern follows the track shown on the procedure above The heading of the vessel during the yawing process is a function of the vessel yawing power, control, wind, sea state and currents. The vessel captian is the sole judge of the vessel heading during the backin maneuver.
