EG55G6: RISERS SYSTEMS AND HYDRODYNAMICS (2015-2016)

Last modified: 25 Mar 2016 11:37


Course Overview

The course provides students with detailed knowledge of risers systems design considerations, in particular looking at novel design considerations such as riser bundling, and the design implications of deep water fields in terms of additional hydrodynamic loading. Typical riser systems including flexible, steel catenary, hybrid and top tensioned riser systems are considered and special attention is paid to vessel response characterisation including response amplitude operators and second order response.

Course Description

The course provides students with detailed knowledge of risers systems design considerations, in particular looking at novel design considerations such as riser bundling, and the design implications of deep water fields in terms of additional hydrodynamic loading. Typical riser systems including flexible, steel catenary, hybrid and top tensioned riser systems are considered and special attention is paid to current design approaches for those systems. Other important topics such as effective tension concept, vessel response characterisation including response amplitude operators and second order response, ocean environment hydrodynamics, regular and irregular wave loading analysis, time and frequency domain solution techniques and riser ancillary equipment are also covered.
