海洋立管涡激振动的研究现状、热点与展望

随着深海油气资源的开采,越来越多的研究者开始关注海洋立管的涡激振动问题.在海洋环境下,洋流是海洋立管的涡激振动的主要原因.当洋流流经立管时会在立管的两侧产生交替的泄涡,导致立管受到横流向和顺流向的脉动流体力.这被认为是海洋立管涡激振动的主要诱因.海洋立管的涡激振动是一个异常复杂的工程问题,它涉及许多科学上悬而未决的难题,如紊流、流动分离、分离点的漂移等等.此外,事先无法确定的立管的位置和立管与洋流之间的相互作用又大大增加了解决这一问题的难度.尽管近几十年里科学界在此方面做了大量的研究工作,一个能够准确、高效、经济地预报海洋立管涡激振动的方法仍然没有得到.即便如此,最近的研究工作依然在许多方面作出了突出的成就.首先介绍了涡激振动的背景知识和基础理论.随后,回顾了近年来海洋立管涡激振动方面的研究成果.接着,重点介绍了当前海洋立管涡激振动领域内的两个热点研究问题,即:在多大程度上立管的顺流向振动能够影响立管的横流向振动,以及尾流的三维效应是如何影响立管的涡激振动响应的.最近的研究发现,当结构与流体的质量比小于6时,顺流向振动能显著增大横流向振动的振幅.最近的研究还发现,立管尾流的三维特性和立管受到流体力的轴向相关度有密切关系.随着流动的发展(海流折合速度从0增加到12),立管尾流的三维特性发生变化,在初期,立管尾流的三维特性不明显,流体力的轴向相关度基本等于1,也就是说,流体力和立管的位移响应是同步的,因此能量不断地由海流向立管转移,导致立管的振幅不断增大.当海流折合速度大于6时,流体力的轴向相关度由1锐减到负值,此时,立管尾流的三维效应显著.最后针对今后海洋立管的涡激振动的研究提出一些建议.

海洋立管的涡激振动会严重影响立管结构的使用寿命.通过室内水槽实验研究在立管模型周围等分布置三根附属控制杆来减小立管涡激振动响应的新型抑制措施.实验中观测了0.24 m/s、0.31 m/s、0.37 m/s以及0.44 m/s四种均匀流和两个极限来流方向下的涡激振动抑制效果.实验结果表明:三根附属控制杆抑制措施可明显降低立管模型的横向振动幅值,但对主管的振动频率改变不大;同时,这一抑制措施对来流方向有较强的适应性,避免了以往单根控制杆在流向发生改变时可能加剧立管涡激振动的弊端.     

考虑内流的海洋立管动力特性和动力响应的实验研究

本文考虑管内流体和管外流体的共同作用,对海洋立管进行试验研究。试验在中国海洋大学物理海洋试验室进行,通过试验得到了立管的一些有价值的规律:随着外流流速逐渐增大,立管的一阶激振频率也逐渐增大,在一定的外流速下,会激起立管的二阶激振频率甚至于三阶激振频率,由于立管的刚度较大,内流对立管的影响并不明显。但是当外流达到一定流速,这种影响就会显现出来,内流的存在会降低海洋立管的振动频率。

浮式平台横荡运动对水下柔性立管涡激振动的影响

由于深水浮式平台的运动幅度较固定式平台增大,其运动与下部立管的动力耦合变得更加明显。研究了上部平台运动对水下立管涡激振动的影响,基于有限元数值模拟,建立了与结构运动耦合的立管尾迹流场的涡激升力、流体阻力模型,进行了"平台运动-立管涡激振动"整体系统的动响应数值模拟,分析了平台横荡运动的幅值、频率等因素对水下立管涡激振动的影响。结果表明,上部平台的振动会在沿着立管展向传播的过程中被放大(称为响应放大);与不考虑平台运动相比,立管的动响应位移增大了多倍,而且振幅放大倍数随着模态阶数的降低而增大;平台横荡振幅越大,立管振动幅值也越大,但是振幅放大倍数的变化不明显。     

Stress Wave Propagation Analysis on Vortex-Induced Vibration of Marine Risers

To analyze the stress wave propagation associated with the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of a marine riser, this paper employed a multi-signal complex exponential method. This method is an extension of the classical Prony''s method which decomposes a complicated signal into a number of complex exponential components. Because the proposed method processes multiple signals simultaneously, it can estimate the "global" dominating frequencies (poles) shared by those signals. The complex amplitude (residues) corresponding to the estimated frequencies for those signals is also obtained in the process. As the signals were collected at different locations along the axial direction of a marine riser, the phenomena of the stress wave propagation could be analyzed through the obtained residues of those signals. The Norwegian Deepwater Program (NDP) high mode test data were utilized in the numerical studies, including data sets in both the in-line (IL) and cross-flow (CF) directions. It was found that the most dominant component in the IL direction has its stress wave propagation along the riser being dominated by a standing wave, while that in the CF direction dominated by a traveling wave.     

The Effect of Internal Fluid on the Response of Vortex-Induced Vibration of Marine Risers

Based on Iwan‘s wake oseillator model developed with the classical van der Pol equalion, the differential equation for the response of the vortex-induced vihration (VIV) of the riser considering the effect of the internal flowing fluid and the external marine environmental condition is derived. The effect of the intermal flowing fluid on the response of VIV of the riser is studied by means of the Finite Element Method. The results show that the effect of the internal fluid velocity on the VIV of the riser is strong when the natural frequency of the riser is close to the vortex shedding frequency. In addition, the increase of the top tension can decrease the sensitivity of the riser to the internal fluid velocity.     

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

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.     

Dynamic Characteristics of Marine Risers Conveying Fluid

The lateral vibration differential equation for a marine riser conveying fluid is derived by useof the small deflection theory.and the effect of internal flow velocity and top tension on the natural fre-quency of the riser is studied by use of FEM.At the same time,the preliminary relationship between thenatural frequency and riser span under different internal flow velocities is obtained,the effect of riser sup-ports on the vibration frequency is computed.It is found that the natural frequency of the marine riser in-creases with the increase of top tension.however decreases with the increase of internal flow velocity.In ad-dition,the frequency decreases drastically with the increase of riser span.

Effects of Internal Flow on Vortex-Induced Vibration and Fatigue Life of Submarine Pipelines

- With the rapid development of the offshore oil industries, submarine oil / gas pipelines have been widely used. Under the complicated submarine environmental conditions, the dynamic characteristics of pipelines show some new features due to the existence of both internal and external flows. The paper is intended to investigate the vortex-induced vibration of the suspended pipeline span exposed to submarine steady flow. Especially, the effects of the flow inside the pipeline are taken into account. Its influences on the amplitude of pipeline response, and then on the fatigue life, are given in terms of the velocity of the internal flow.     

Experimental Study on Coupled Cross-Flow and in-Line Vortex-Induced Vibration of Flexible Risers

In this work, we study the coupled cross-flow and in-line vortex-induced vibration （VIV） of a fixedly mounted flexible pipe, which is free to move in cross-flow （ Y- ） and in-line （ X- ） direction in a fluid flow where the mass and natural frequencies are precisely the same in both X- and Y-direction. The fluid speed varies from low to high with the corresponding vortex shedding frequency varying from below the first natural frequency to above the second natural frequency of the flexible pipe. Particular emphasis was placed on the investigation of the relationship between in-line and cross-flow vibration. The experimental results analyzed by using these measurements exhibits several valuable features.     

Experimental Investigation on Vortex-Induced Vibration of Deep-Sea Risers of Different Excitation Water Depths

The vortex-induced vibration test of the deep-sea riser was carried out with different excitation water depths in the wave-current combined water flume.By dimensionally changing the multi-stage water depth and hydrodynamic parameters such as outflow velocity at various water depths,the dynamic response parameters such as dominant frequency,dimensionless displacement and vibration trajectory evolution process of the riser under different excitation water depths were explored to reveal the sensitive characteristics of the dynamic response of vortexinduced vibration of the risers under different excitation water depths.The results show that different excitation water depths will change the additional mass of the riser and the fluid damping and other parameters,which will affect the spatial correlation and stability of the vortex shedding behind the riser.In the lock-in region,the distribution range of the characteristic frequency becomes narrow and centered on the lock-in frequency.The increase of the excitation water depth gradually advances the starting point of the lock-in region of the riser,and at the same time promotes the excitation of the higher-order vibration frequency of the riser structure.Within the dimensionless excitation water depth,the dominant frequency and dimensionless displacement are highly insensitive to the excitation water depth at high flow velocity.The change of the excitation water depth will interfere with the correlation of the non-linear coupling of the riser.The“8-shaped”gradually becomes irregular,and the vibration trajectories of the riser show“O-shape”,“X-shape”and“Crescent-shape”.     

Experimental Investigation of Multi-Mode Vortex-Induced Vibration of Flexible Risers with Different Mass Ratios

The results revealed that the riser model with a higher mass ratio e...     

Experimental Study and Fatigue Analysis of Vortex-Induced Vibration of Umbilical Cable Considering Internal Friction

In order to investigate the effect of internal friction of umbilical cable on its vortex-induced vibration(VIV)responses, the experimental study on VIV of bond umbilical cable(BUC) and un-bond umbilical cable(UBUC) was carried out in an experimental tank. A current generator in the laboratory simulated the uniform current, and the current velocities were observed in real time by using a Doppler Velocimeter. In addition, different sizes of top tension were applied to the umbilical cable model. The VIV responses of the umbilical cable model were measured by using Fiber Bragg grating(FBG) strain sensors. The displacement responses of umbilical cable model were reconstructed based on the experimental strain data processed by modal superposition method. In this paper, the traveling wave characteristics, the spatial-temporal distribution characteristics of frequency and fatigue damage of the BUC and UBUC under VIV are studied. The experimental results show that there are obvious differences between BUC and UBUC in the response characteristics of VIV. The UBUC appears the traveling wave sooner than BUC, but its standing wave characteristics are more obvious than those of BUC at high velocities. Compared with BUC, the spatial-temporal distribution of UBUC frequencies appears wide-band distribution sooner, but has narrower bandwidth in the "lock-in" state. The level of fatigue damage of BUC was approximately the same as that of UBUC.
