螺旋侧板的高度对VIV影响的CFD分析

深水立管在来流作用下容易产生流向和横向的周期性位移振动(VIV),这种流固耦合作用会加剧立管结构疲劳,最终导致其功能失效。之前的研究发现螺旋侧板可以有效的抑制VIV的影响,其中侧板高度和螺距等几何参数决定其抑制效率。文章主要基于CFD对不同高度螺旋侧板的立管的尾流场进行数值模拟。结果表明:在研究范围内,螺旋侧板随高度增大抑制VIV效果越好,在H=0.25D(D为立管直径)时作用最佳,但拖曳力系数明显增大,同时来流方向和螺旋侧板的夹角也会影响其抑制效率。

海洋立管涡激振动抑制装置模型试验研究

本文提出三种不同的涡激振动抑制装置设计方案：扰流纤维抑制装置、反向耦合单组双螺旋叶片式抑制装置以及反向耦合双组双螺旋叶片式抑制装置,分别对其进行试验研究,对比分析各模型的振动特性和抑制效果。实验结果表明：所设计的涡激振动抑制装置,均能在一定程度上降低立管的涡激振动响应。从抑制效果来看,对称来流情况下的双组双螺旋装置的效果最佳,其次为单组双螺旋装置和长扰流纤维装置,而短扰流纤维装置和非对称迎流情况下双组双螺旋装置的效果较差。对称来流和非对称迎流情况下的双组双螺旋装置是相同的,因此,采用双组双螺旋装置时,应根据海域的长期洋流方向,合理地布置该装置,使其最大限度地发挥抑制作用.     

Towards a model of hydrodynamic damping for a circular cylinder with helical strakes at low KC

This paper investigates the hydrodynamic damping of a circular cylinder with helical strakes at Keulegan-Carpenter (KC) number from 0.07 to 3 in the presence of steady currents. Experiments were performed with a straked cylinder oscillating in either in-line or cross currents over Reynolds number (based on the oscillating velocity amplitude) varying from 1260 to 54,000. With in-line current being present, the measured drag coefficients of the straked cylinder are found to depend on the ratio between the oscillating velocity amplitude and the steady current velocity. This phenomenon is further confirmed by computational fluid dynamics using large-eddy simulations. The drag coefficients obtained from the numerical simulations agree well with the experimentally determined values. Similar phenomenon is observed for the cases with cross background current. Based on the experimental data, empirical formulae are proposed to evaluate drag coefficients. These results are of importance in estimating the resonant motion and the fatigue life of risers, e.g. water intake risers, in the flow regime of low KC. Finally, recommendations are provided for fatigue analysis of risers with helical strakes from the perspective of engineering practice.

VIV response of a flexible cylinder with varied coverage by buoyancy elements and helical strakes

Many significant engineering challenges have emerged as the petroleum industry has moved their field development and production activities into increasingly deeper water depths. The design of deepwater marine risers presents the combined challenges to minimize top tensioning requirements, mitigate any flow-induced vibrations, and if possible to increase the expected fatigue life of these slender structural members. As part of the design process to achieve these goals external buoyancy modules and strakes have been employed. To gain insight into the complex multi-mode response behavior a recent experimental study was performed and the analysis of selected data sets is presented. In the experiments a horizontal cylinder with a length to diameter ratio of 263 was fitted with a variety of strake and buoyancy element configurations. The models were towed at uniform speeds ranging from 0.4 to 2.0 m/s and fiber optic strain gages were used to measure both in-line and cross-flow strain response. The resulting time series information was processed utilizing the method of time domain decomposition formulated for strain data input and the introduction of modal assurance criterion to resolve the modal strain information that included frequency, mode shape, and critical damping ratio information. The pre-tensioned cylinder without appendages was used as a base case and the results were basically consistent with expectations. In the case of 0.8 m/s low-tension test, multiple closely spaced non-overlapping peaks were observed in both in-line and cross-flow directions and were identified as being of the same mode with mode shapes distorted away from purely sinusoidal behavior. The test data for the 100% coverage by helical stakes demonstrated the effectiveness of that suppression device over the range of current velocities investigated. The most interesting case was that of a staggered combination of helical strakes and buoyancy element whose total for each type of coverage was equal. This effective asymmetric VIV suppression approach is presented and discussed in detail.     

Fatigue damage from time domain simulation of combined in-line and cross-flow vortex-induced vibrations

A semi-empirical method for time domain simulation of vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) is used to calculate the in-line and cross-flow fatigue damage of a tensioned riser in uniform and sheared flow. Simulations are run for flow velocities ranging from 0.3 m/s to 2.4 m/s, and a detailed comparison with experimental observations is performed. Results are reported in terms of dominating frequency, mode of vibration and mean of r.m.s. of displacement, as well as fatigue damage distribution along the length of the structure and maximum fatigue damage rates for each case. Fatigue damage is calculated by rainflow counting of the strain time series together with an idealized S–N curve with slope m = 3. The results show that the model reproduces the measured fatigue damage with a satisfactory level of realism, using a consistent set of parameters. This indicates that the model is usable for calculation of riser VIV fatigue damage in various current conditions, assuming the Reynolds number is in the subcritical range.     

串列双立管涡激振动抑制研究

实际工程中深海立管常以管群的方式出现,当立管彼此相互靠近时,会发生流场干涉效应。为研究立管间相互干涉作用及螺旋侧板抑制双立管涡激振动的效果,本文基于Ansys Workbench平台,采用双向流固耦合技术对Re=7800均匀来流下长径比为482的串列双立管进行三维数值模拟。结果表明,立管轴间距为5D时立管间有完整的涡旋脱落,下游立管在上游立管的尾流诱导下产生振动,双立管横向振动锁定在二阶模态,且振动方向相反。附加螺旋侧板能有效削弱双立管振动频率,降低上游立管横向振动幅值,但下游立管两向位移响应变化不大。

Fatigue damage analysis of the deepwater riser from VIV using pseudo-excitation method

The fatigue damage of a long deepwater riser undergoing in-line and cross-flow vortex-induced vibration (VIV) in deepwater is numerically studied using pseudo-excitation method (PEM) in present paper. For evaluating the fluid–structure interaction problem of vortex-induced vibration of deepwater riser at high Reynolds number, the strip theory is employed in this paper, and the discrete vortex method (DVM) is used to calculate the VIV of each strip to obtain the load spectrum as the pseudo-excitation, while the finite volume method (FVM) is employed to evaluate the structure dynamics of a deepwater riser. The VIV is considered as a stationary random process. The response of riser to vortex induced excitation is calculated using pseudo-excitation method. The DVM model and pseudo-excitation method are both validated by comparing their numerical results with experiments. The fatigue damage of one deepwater riser is evaluated based on the Palmgren–Miner Rule.     

Time domain approach for coupled cross-flow and in-line VIV induced fatigue damage of steel catenary riser at touchdown zone

Existing VIV prediction approaches for steel catenary riser (SCR) typically employ truncation model without considering the interaction between the SCR and soil, and only allow for cross-flow (CF) VIV. In this study, a time domain approach accounting for the SCR-soil interaction is proposed to predict the CF and in-line (IL) VIV induced fatigue damage of a SCR at touchdown zone (TDZ). The hydrodynamic force resulting from the vortex shedding is modeled using the forced oscillation test data of a rigid cylinder and an empirical damping model, which are defined as functions of the non-dimensional dominant frequency and amplitude of the SCR response. Due to the coupling effect, the IL VIV force is magnified based on the CF VIV amplitude. By combining a linear hysteretic interaction model with a trench shape model, some particular phenomena during the vertical SCR-soil interaction are captured and qualitatively discussed, while for the horizontal direction, the seabed is simplified as nonlinear spring model. Based on these models, parametric studies are conducted to broaden the understanding of the sensitivity of VIV induced fatigue damage to the seabed characteristic. The results indicate trench depth, vertical and lateral stiffness, and clay suction are significantly affect the VIV induced maximum fatigue damage at TDZ.     

参激振动对顺应式垂直通路立管涡激振动的影响

顺应式垂直通路立管(CVAR)是目前处于研究阶段的一种新型的立管类型,在海流作用下产生涡激振动,在平台垂荡运动作用下产生参数激励振动。为了研究参数激励的影响,本文引入尾流振子模型模拟漩涡脱落对立管的作用,同时考虑浮式平台升沉运动产生的参数激励,建立了CVAR参激-涡激联合振动方程,获取联合作用下的动力响应,并与纯涡激振动响应进行对比。结果表明,在相同的流速下CVAR中部涡激振动幅值最大,流速的增大会导致涡激振动的频率增大,发生高阶锁振,高阶锁振振动幅值比低阶锁振振动幅值小。考虑参数激励之后,较纯涡激振动而言,立管的振动幅值增大;当参激频率与涡激振动频率接近时,立管的振动幅值最大。
