Estimation of Hydrodynamic Forces on the Cylinderical Smooth Piles to Random Waves and Currents
author
Abstract:
Most Codes such as API and BSI recommend Morison’s equation to estimate hydrodynamic forces on offshore structures. Significant differences exist among these Codes due to using different methods of analysis and estimation of force coefficients. In this paper, data from full scale tests have been used to evaluate random waves and uniform current actions on the smooth piles.
 Four time and frequency domain analysis methods were used to estimate Cd & Cm. Force Time Series Fitting Method (LS-TS) has given better results than the others. Furthermore, the errors from estimating hydrodynamic forces on smooth piles are more than those on rough piles.

full textEstimation of Hydrodynamic Force on Rough Circular Cylinders in Random Waves and Currents (RESEARCH NOTE)
Most of the Codes of Practice (API, BSI, DnV, NPD) uses Morison's equation to estimate hydrodynamic loads on fixed and moving offshore structures. The significant difference in the prediction of the loads mainly arises from the assumption of the values of hydrodynamic coefficients. In this paper by analysing a full scale set of data in large KC's numbers collected from Delta Wave Flume in the N...

The research focused on the variation trend of drag coefficient with Keulegan-Carpenter number in vegetation mimics in pure wave and combined current-wave flow conditions. Experiments were carried out in the Environmental Fluid Mechanics Laboratory at Delft university of Technology. Completion of this thesis was only made possible with the help of many people who graciously shared their time, e...
full textEstimation of Lift Force on a Rough Vertical Pile of Platform to Random Sea Waves
Similar to random sea waves, forces on the offshore structures due to waves are random. These forces can be mainly divided into two components, namely, inline forces and transverse or lift forces. The random nature of lift forces is more complicated than that of inline forces and both should be combined for design purposes. In the present paper, two different approaches have been used to determ...
