• Dynamic response of a top-tensioned riser under vessel motion 

      Yin, Decao; Passano, Elisabeth; Lie, Halvor; Grytøyr, Guttorm; Aronsen, Kristoffer; Tognarelli, Michael; Kebadze, Elizbar Buba (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-07)
      Model tests of a top-tensioned riser model were carried out as a part of a joint industry project, with the purpose of verifying the calculations of the riser analysis program RIFLEX. Sinusoidal motion in one direction was ...
    • Experimental and numerical study of a top tensioned drilling riser subjected to vessel motion 

      Yin, Decao; Passano, Elisabeth; Lie, Halvor; Grytøyr, Guttorm; Aronsen, Kristoffer; Tognarelli, Michael; Kebadze, Elizbar Buba (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-01-01)
      Model tests of a top tensioned riser (TTR) model were carried out as a part of a joint industry project, with the purpose of better understanding the dynamic behaviour of drilling riser and verifying the calculations of ...
    • Forced Vibration Tests for In-Line VIV to Assess Partially Strake-Covered Pipeline Spans 

      Wu, Jie; Yin, Decao; Passano, Elisabeth; Lie, Halvor; Peek, Ralf; Sequeiros, Octavio E.; Ang, Sze; Bernardo, Chiara; Atienza, Meliza (ASME Digital Collection;OMAE2019-95970, Chapter, 2019-06)
      A series of experiments is performed in which a strake-covered rigid cylinder undergoes harmonic purely in-line motion while subject to a uniform “flow” created by towing the test rig along SINTEF Ocean’s towing tank. These ...
    • Improved in-line VIV Prediction for combined in-line and Cross-Flow VIV Responses 

      Yin, Decao; Passano, Elisabeth; Larsen, Carl Martin (ASME Digital collection;OMAE2017-61715, Chapter, 2017-09)
      Slender marine structures are subjected to ocean currents, which can cause vortex-induced vibrations (VIV). Accumulated damage due to VIV can shorten the fatigue life of marine structures, so it needs to be considered in ...
    • In-Line VIV Based on Forced-Vibration Tests 

      Yin, Decao; Wu, Jie; Passano, Elisabeth; Lie, Halvor; Peek, Ralf; Sequeiros, Octavio E.; Ang, Sze; Bernardo, Chiara; Atienza, Meliza (ASME Digital collection;OMAE2019-95972, Chapter, 2019-06-14)
      Excitation and added mass functions determined from forced vibration tests of a rigid cylinder undergoing harmonic motion in the flow are used in the semi-empirical software VIVANA to predict the VIV response of pipelines. ...
    • Prediction of Combined IL and CF VIV Response of Deepwater Risers 

      Wu, Jie; Lekkala, Malakonda Reddy; Ong, Muk Chen; Passano, Elisabeth; Voie, Per Erlend (ASME Proceedings | Prof. Carl Martin Larsen and Dr. Owen Oakley Honoring Symposia on CFD and VIV;OMAE2017-61766, Chapter, 2017-06-25)
      Deepwater risers are susceptible to Vortex Induced Vibrations (VIV) when subjected to currents. When responding at high modes, fatigue damage the in in-line (IL) direction may become equally important as the cross-flow ...
    • State-of-the-Art Review of Vortex-Induced Motions of Floating Offshore Wind Turbine Structures 

      Yin, Decao; Passano, Elisabeth; Jiang, Fengjian; Lie, Halvor; Wu, Jie; Ye, Naiquan; Sævik, Svein; Leira, Bernt Johan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The motivation for this study is the fast development of floating offshore wind energy and the immature methodology and engineering practice related to predictions of vortex-induced motions (VIM). Benefiting from the oil ...
