Investigation of Vortex Induced Vibration of Offshore Pipelines near Seabed

Abstract:

Recently, dynamic interaction between pipelines, seabed and the ocean currents has received wide concern from marine pipeline designers and researchers. The analysis of dynamic responses of subsea pipeline, in vicinity of the seabed in severe ocean environments, is very important. In this regard, this study reviews and sums up recent researches and investigations performed on vortex induced vibration of pipelines near seabed for analysis and design. In addition, the preliminary results of a developed model around a pipe subjected to steady current have been presented. Future trends and challenges in this research are also identified.
