Abstract: This paper investigates the phase angles of the vibrations and hydrodynamic forces by the model testing of a flexible riser's vortex-induced vibration (VIV) under uniform flow. The VIV displacement of the riser is derived ...

Abstract: Flexible pipe with staggered buoyancy elements such as lazy wave riser and drilling riser has been widely used in ocean engineering. Under the influence of sea current, both of the buoyancy elements and the riser may ...
