Tension and Drag Forces of Flexible Risers Undergoing Vortex-Induced Vibration     

SONG Lei-jian  FU Shi-xiao  LI Man  GAO Yun  MA Lei-xin 《海洋工程》2017,31(1):1-10

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on the variation in the tension and the distribution of drag force coefficients along flexible risers under vortex-induced vibration (VIV) in a uniform flow for Reynolds numbers (Re) up to 2.2×10⁵. The results show that the mean tension is proportional to the square of the incoming current speed, and the tension coefficient of a flexible riser undergoing VIV can be up to 12. The mean drag force is uniformly and symmetrically distributed along the axes of the risers undergoing VIV. The corresponding drag coefficient can vary between 1.6 and 2.4 but is not a constant value of 1.2, as it is for a fixed cylinder in the absence of VIV. These experimental results are used to develop a new empirical prediction model to estimate the drag force coefficient for flexible risers undergoing VIV for Reynolds number on the order of 10⁵, which accounts for the effects of the incoming current speed, the VIV dominant modal number and the frequency.  相似文献   

Combined action of uniform flow and oscillating flow around marine riser at low Keulegan-Carpenter number     

Yue Deng  Weiping Huang  Jingli Zhao 《中国海洋大学学报(英文版)》2014,13(3):390-396

With the increase of petroleum and gas production in deep ocean, marine risers of circular cylinder shape are widely used in the offshore oil and gas platform. In order to research the hydrodynamic performance of marine risers, the dynamic mesh technique and User-Defined Function （UDF） are used to simulate the circular cylinder motion. The motion of a transversely oscillat-ing circular cylinder in combination of uniform flow and oscillating flow is simulated. The uniform flow and oscillating flow both are in x direction. SIMPLE algorithm is used to solve the Navier-Stokes equations. The User-Defined Function is used to control the cylinder transverse vibration and the inlet flow. The lift and drag coefficient changing with time and the map of vorticity isolines at different phase angle are obtained. Force time histories are shown for uniform flow at Reynolds number （Re） of 200 and for the com-bination of uniform and oscillating flows. With the increase of amplitude of oscillating flow in combined flow, the change of lift am-plitude is not sensitive to the the change of cylinder oscillating frequency. Lift amplitude increases with the increase of oscillating flow amplitude in the combined flow, but there is no definite periodicity of the lift coefficient. The drag and inertia force coefficients change when the maximum velocity of the oscillating flow increases in the combined flow. The vortex shedding near the circular cylinder shows different characteristics.  相似文献   

Deep-water riser fatigue monitoring systems based on acoustic telemetry

Marine risers play a key role in the deep and ultra-deep water oil and gas production. The vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of marine risers constitutes an important problem in deep water oil exploration and production. VIV will result in high rates of structural failure of marine riser due to fatigue damage accumulation and diminishes the riser fatigue life. In-service monitoring or full scale testing is essential to improve our understanding of VIV response and enhance our ability to predict fatigue damage. One marine riser fatigue acoustic telemetry scheme is proposed and an engineering prototype machine has been developed to monitor deep and ultra-deep water risers’ fatigue and failure that can diminish the riser fatigue life and lead to economic losses and eco-catastrophe. Many breakthroughs and innovation have been achieved in the process of developing an engineering prototype machine. Sea trials were done on the 6th generation deep-water drilling platform HYSY-981 in the South China Sea. The inclination monitoring results show that the marine riser fatigue acoustic telemetry scheme is feasible and reliable and the engineering prototype machine meets the design criterion and can match the requirements of deep and ultra-deep water riser fatigue monitoring. The rich experience and field data gained in the sea trial which provide much technical support for optimization in the engineering prototype machine in the future.  相似文献   

深水浮式平台垂荡运动与水下柔性立管涡激振动的动力耦合   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

基于有限元数值模拟,进行了"平台垂荡-顶张力立管涡激振动"整体系统的动响应数值模拟。动响应模型考虑了立管尾迹流场的水动力与结构动力的耦合和垂荡引起的立管结构刚度的时变特性;分析了平台垂荡运动的频率、模态阶数等因素对水下顶张力立管涡激振动的影响。数值结果表明:与不考虑平台运动相比,立管的动响应位移会增大;立管响应幅值随着模态阶数的降低而增大;在响应过程中,尤其对于低阶模态,会出现响应的模态转换现象。鉴于在平台垂荡和涡激振动的共同作用下,立管的动响应会大于涡激振动、参数激励分别单独作用的响应,建议在立管实际工程设计中应该考虑平台运动和涡激振动耦合激励作用下的结构动响应。  相似文献

Coupling Eeffect of Rriser on Integrated FPS in Deepwater Area     

韩志强  Bernt J. Leir  李飒 《海洋工程》2009,(4):613-622

The main challenge in predicting global responses of floating vessels in deep and ultra-deepwater areas comes from the system’s coupled effect. In this paper, the coupled approach is used to analyze effects of riser on floating system in deepwater. The analysis results show that the coupling effects of risers will mainly affect the low frenquency (LF) motions of the system. That is because risers will provide the system with a significant low frenquency (LF) damping, which will vary with the sea- states. Under storm sea- state, the excitation term from drag force will govern the response. While under the moderate conditions, the damping effect from risers is more significant. In the practical engineering, the combination effect should be considered by other ways when the risers are omitted from the model.  相似文献   

Full Coupled Effects of Hull, Mooring and Risers Model in Time Domain Based on an Innovative Deep Draft Multi-Spar     

李彬彬  欧进萍  滕斌 《海洋工程》2010,(2):219-233

The coupled hull, mooring and riser analysis techniques in time domain are widely recognized as the unique approach to predict the accurate global motions. However, these complex issues have not been perfectly solved due to a large number of nonlinear factors, e.g. forces nonlinearity, mooring nonlinearity, motion nonlinearity and so on. This paper investigates the coupled effects through the numerical uncoupled model, mooring coupled model and fully coupled model accounting mooring and risers based on a novel deep draft multi-spar which is especially designed for deepwater in 2009. The numerical static-offset, free-decay, wind-action tests are executed, and finally the three hours simulations are conducted under 100-year return period of GOM conditions involving wave, wind and current actions. The damping contributions, response characteristics and mooring line tensions are emphatically studied.  相似文献
