• A Time-Domain Method for Hydroelastic Analysis of Floating Bridges in Inhomogeneous Waves 

      Fu, Shixiao; Wei, Wei; Ou, Shaowu; Moan, Torgeir; Deng, Shi; Lie, Halvor (ASME Proceedings | Torgeir Moan Honoring Symposium;OMAE2017-62534, Chapter, 2017-06-25)
      Based on the three dimensional potential theory and finite element method (FEM), this paper presented a method for time-domain hydroelastic analysis of a floating bridge in inhomogeneous waves. A floating bridge in both ...
    • Hydrodynamic Coefficients of a Flexible Pipe With Staggered Buoyancy Elements and Strakes under VIV Conditions 

      Fu, Shixiao; Lie, Halvor; Wu, Jie; Baarholm, Rolf Jarle (ASME Proceedings | Prof. Carl Martin Larsen and Dr. Owen Oakley Honoring Symposia on CFD and VIV;OMAE2017-62535, Chapter, 2017-06-25)
      A 38m long flexible pipe with staggered buoyancy modules and strakes has been tested in the ocean basin of SINTEF Ocean (former Marintek) for VIV investigation of a lazy wave riser. In this paper the inverse analysis method ...
    • Hydrodynamics of Flexible Pipe With Staggered Buoyancy Elements Undergoing Vortex-Induced Vibrations 

      Zhang, Mengmeng; Fu, Shixiao; Song, Laijian; Wu, Jie; Lie, Halvor; Ren, Haojie (ASME Proceedings | Prof. Carl Martin Larsen and Dr. Owen Oakley Honoring Symposia on CFD and VIV;OMAE2017-61265, Chapter, 2017-06-25)
      Flexible riser with staggered buoyancy elements has been widely used in ocean engineering, such as steel lazy wave riser, drilling riser, etc. Both the buoyancy elements and the riser may experience vortex induced vibrations ...
    • OMAE2017-61768 VIV Responses of Riser With Buoyancy Elements: Forced Motion Test and Numerical Prediction 

      Wu, Jie; Lie, Halvor; Fu, Shixiao; Baarholm, Rolf Jarle; Constantinides, Yiannis (ASME Proceedings | Prof. Carl Martin Larsen and Dr. Owen Oakley Honoring Symposia on CFD and VIV;OMAE2017-61768, Chapter, 2017-06-25)
      Steel Lazy Wave Riser (SLWR) is an attractive deep water riser concept. When subjected to vortex induced vibrations (VIV), the vortex shedding process of the buoyancy element and the bare riser section will be different ...
