• 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 ...
    • Improved In-Line VIV Prediction for Combined In-Line and Cross-Flow VIV Responses 

      Yin, Decao; Passano, Elizabeth; Larsen, Carl Martin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-10)
      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 ...
    • Non-Linear Clay Soil Model for Lateral Pipe-Soil Interaction 

      Agusta, Arifian; Ji, Guomin; Sævik, Svein (ASME Proceedings | Pipelines, Risers, and Subsea Systems;OMAE2016-54658, Chapter, 2016-06)
      This paper describes implementation and application of nonlinear lateral soil models for pipeline lateral buckling analysis. Several lateral soil models have been developed in the past and the model developed by Verley is ...
    • Torsion in Flexible Pipes, Umbilicals and Cables Under Loadout to Installation Vessels 

      Maincon, Philippe Emmanuel (ASME Digital colletion;OMAE2017-62716, Chapter, 2017)
      Operations where a flexible pipe, umbilical or cable is loaded out from an on-shore spool to the hold of an installation vessel can cause a build-up of torsion. In unfavourable cases, the torsion has been known to cause ...
