Abstract: Fluid-solid coupling dynamic characteristics analysis of vertical cantilever lifting pipe in transporting coarse solid particles was conducted by adopting ADINA. Firstly, finite element models of pipe and fluid were built, which was solved by using ADINA/FSI module. Secondly dynamic characteristics of pipe vibration for different run-time, constrain conditions, volume concentration and transporting velocities were studied. Thirdly the stress and displacement characteristics were discussed under above conditions. The results were shown that stress and displacement will increase with transporting concentration and velocity rising; the shorter run-up time is, the bigger stress and displacement will be; stress and displacement of lifting pipe supportive anchor in weak constrain were greater than that in fixed connect condition. Analysis results have certain directive significance in future structure design, check, reducing vibration study for lifting pipeline in the ocean mining.

Abstract: Using finite element software ADINA, three coupling models on fluid-structure interaction among internal fluid—pipe—external fluid in the lifting pipeline were researched. Firstly, coupling finite element model on fluid structure interaction of lifting pipeline was established and the first sixth order natural frequencies and principal vibration modes were attained at different ore conveying volume concentration and cross-section size of pipeline;Then natural frequencies of three couplings were compared with two couplings and no coupling according to the above condition, and FSI effect on natural frequency of pipeline was discussed. The calculation results were shown that the natural frequency of the pipe and its relative error reduced with the volume concentration and the relative wall thickness increased, which explain the reason that has better accuracy considering three couplings than other .These results have certain directive significance on the dynamic response, structure design and study of reduction vibration of lifting pipeline.
