Vortex-induced vibration analysis of the auger TLP production and steel catenary export risers

Conference ·
OSTI ID:160718

This paper describes the methodology used to analyze the Auger TLP production and steel catenary export risers for vortex induced vibrations. Presented are: (1) a discussion of the development of testing facilities for deepwater riser vortex-induced vibration modeling, (2) an overview of the tests used to calibrate a response prediction program; (3) calibration of the response prediction program; (4) the analysis procedure for both riser types; (5) the analyses` results, and (6) a summary of the vortex suppression technology used to choose triple-start helical strakes for the export risers.
