VIVs may occur in the both risers and pipelines due to the spanning pipes in the transverse water current condition.
This chapter discusses four parts of subsea engineering: production systems, flow assurance and system engineering, subsea structures and equipment, and subsea umbilicals, risers, and pipelines.
This paper considers a co-rotational beam formulation for beams, which is used for the finite element analysis of flexible risers and pipelines made of functionally graded materials.
An incident on a supply vessel moored to a natural-gas riser platform and pipeline near Cocodrie, La., resulted in a release of natural gas on Friday morning, officials said.
Seabed embedment by pipe-soil interactions has impacts on the structural boundary conditions for various subsea structures such as pipeline, riser, pile, and many other systems.
With the rapid development of deepwater exploration and development, more and more deepwater offshore engineering such as gas pipeline, riser system, and mooring system will apply to deep seabed.
For releases of hydrocarbons from a subsea pipeline, riser, or production facility, the shape of the plume rising through the water must be predicted prior to any assessment of gas dispersion, liquid pools, or fire above the water surface.
In recent years, more and more devices, such as pipelines, riser systems, subsea trees, manifolds, tie-in systems, have been applied to the seabed [2].
Particularly for deepwater risers, which can be up to 3000 m long, the operating pressure in the pipeline and riser can be high (that is a few hundreds of bar).
Officials had hoped that a four-story, 98-ton containment dome deployed over the weekend would funnel 85 percent of the leak from the riser pipe to a pipeline connected to a containment ship.
