| 主权项 | 1. An apparatus comprising: a fairing operable to suppress a vortex-induced vibration of a tubular, the fairing having a body portion and a tail portion that tapers from the body portion to an end portion, the body portion defining an annulus dimensioned to encircle a tubular, wherein the annulus has a modifiable diameter; and a stabilizing member dimensioned to stabilize the fairing along a tubular positioned within the annulus, wherein the stabilizing member is formed by opposing walls of the annulus, and wherein the opposing walls are operable to move toward one another as the diameter is modified to tighten the annulus around a tubular encircled by the annulus. | ||
