Abstract
A fairing element to fair an elongate element comprising a canal to accept the elongate object and being profiled in such a way as to reduce the hydrodynamic drag of the elongate object when the elongate object is at least partially immersed, the fairing element comprises a leading edge and a trailing edge, the fairing element being intended to be pivot-mounted on the elongate element around the longitudinal axis of the canal, the fairing element comprising a bearing edge comprising a first bearing edge which is mitered with respect to the leading edge, the first bearing edge being arranged in such a way that the distance between the leading edge and the bearing edge, considered perpendicular to the leading edge, decreases continuously, along an axis parallel to the leading edge, from a first end of the first bearing edge to a second end of the bearing edge, the fairing element being referred to as a mitered fairing element, the mitered fairing element comprising a first part and a second part which are joined together along a first bearing edge so that the fairing element can pass from a deployed configuration in which the trailing edge is parallel to the leading edge to a folded configuration in which the fairing element is folded along the first bearing edge.
