Numerical Study of the Hydrodynamic Properties of a Mid-Water Arch
conference contribution
posted on 2023-05-23, 06:57 authored by Koolhof, WI, Shuhong ChaiShuhong Chai, Morand, HA Mid-Water Arch (MWA) is used to support and restrain flexible risers in mid-water column. This paper investigates the hydrodynamic properties of a complex MWA shape. A simplistic method for determining added mass on a complex multi-component body is presented and evaluated using numerical analysis. The results of a second numerical investigation into the drag coefficients of the MWA are also presented. These coefficients are used in simulating the response of a flexible riser system.
