Hydrodynamic forces on a marine riser: a velocity-potential method

Journal Article · · J. Energy Resour. Technol.; (United States)
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1115/1.3230380· OSTI ID:6822724
A linear equation is mathematically derived for hydrodynamic forces on a marine riser under effects of free surface and floating-vessel motion using a velocity-potential method. It accounts for inertia and wave damping forces, including the force caused by riser motion, and empirically includes the drag force caused by viscosity. 8 refs.
