ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method and to a system for limiting vortex-induced vibrations on a riser suspended at one end from a support and subjected to substantially transverse fluid flows. The system comprises suspension means (10) for hanging the riser from the support, which include displacement means for moving the end in a transverse direction in relation to the principal axis of the riser.
