| Summary: | a single, flexible cylinder representative of a riser in 500 and drag coefficients were motivated. The riser simulations and this established an alternative to strain gage characterized separately before combined testing. The wave consistently with previous mathematical models. The inline current was superimposed onto the various waves conditions. determine the cylinder tension and reaction forces. The drift due to mass transport. The results obtained using this envelopes, using a standard, two dimensional, finite element experiments were conducted in the deepwater wave basin at the experiments. The wave and current environments selected were forcing due to waves. Additional terms were included into in (1640 ft) of water. Realistic environmental conditions measure the inline and transverse displacement fields of the measurement which will prove valuable for future riser model. The program is based on linear theory to obtain the Morison's equation to account for current as well as mean Offshore Technology Research Center (OTRC) at Texas A&M reproduced response envelope trends quite accurately when riser displacements were compared to predicted response riser. Other standard instrumentation was also used to simulation model were discussed and choices for added mass spectra with and without the presence of current compared tests provided unique data at large model scales. The This research study focused on wave-current interaction with underwater video tracking technique was developed to directly University. As part of the experimental study, a new validity of the underwater tracking methodology was assessed wave kinematics and uses Morison's equation to model external were based upon advise from the offshore industry. These were obtained by combining wave and current conditions which |
