Frequency Domain Approach

As oil and gas exploration and production are pushed into deepwater area, the offshore industry is facing more challenges for riser vortex induces vibration (VIV). Although frequency domain approach has been widely used for the riser VIV prediction and fatigue design, several assumptions need to be made. In addition, frequency domain approach cannot account for the variable current and riser nonlinear boundary conditions, such as top boundary response, the interaction between riser and guides in the hull and soil-SCR interaction. Considering above cases, several time domain codes have been developed for riser cross-flow (CF) VIV prediction. This paper presents a time domain approach based on forced algorithm. The exciting force is derived from the non-dimensional amplitude and frequency dependent lift coefficients from forced vibration test. The hydrodynamic damping model consists of empirical model and the extension of the lift curves. At each step, the displacement and velocity of each element would be obtained to calculate the response amplitude and frequency for the lift coefficient and damping. Expect for CF VIV, the mean drag force is also considered, which would be magnified by CF VIV. The model test at Delta Flume of Delft Hydraulics is simulated using the proposed approach, and the CF VIV responses and the mean drag displacement are predicted. The results match well with the measured data.

Frequency Domain Approach

The response of a combined Spar/ risers/mooring lines system is conventionally determined by conducting nonlinear time domain analysis. The system nonlinearity is introduced by the mooring nonlinear force, the friction between the buoyancy-can and the preloaded compliant guide, and the quadratic model of the fluid related damping. Obviously, during the design process, it is important to understand the sensitivity of the Spar responses to various parameters. To a great extent, these objectives cannot be readily achieved by using time domain analysis since, in this context, elements with frequency dependent representation such as the added masses and supplementary damping must be incorporated in the analysis; this may require the use of elaborate convolution techniques. This attribute of the time domain solution combined with the necessity of running a significant number of simulations makes it desirable to develop alternative methods of analysis. In the present paper, a frequency domain approach based on the method of the statistical linearization is used for conducting readily a parametric study of the combined Spar system. This method allows one to account by an equivalent linear damping and an equivalent linear stiffness for the mooring nonlinearity, friction nonlinearity, and the damping nonlinearity of the system. Further, frequency dependent inertia and radiation damping terms in the equations of motion are accommodated. This formulation leads to a mathematical model for the combined system, which involves five-by-five mass, damping and stiffness matrices. In the solution procedure, the equivalent parameters of the linear system are refined in an iterative manner, and by relying on an optimization criterion. This procedure is used to assess the sensitivity of representative Spar system responses to various design parameters. Further, the effect of various design parameters on the combined system response is examined. The environmental loadings considered are of the JONSWAP format of a 100-yr hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico.

Transforms play an important role in conversion of information from one domain to the other. To be more specific transforms like Discrete Fourier transform (DFT) and Discrete Cosine transform (DCT) helps us to migrate from one time domain to frequency domain based on the basis function selected. The basis function of the every sinusoidal transform carries out a circular rotation to convert information from one domain to the other. There are applications related to communication which requires this rotation into the hyperbolic trajectory as well. Multiplierless algorithm like CORDIC improves the latency of the transforms by eliminating the number of multipliers in the basis function. In this paper we have designed and implemented enhanced version of CORDIC based Rotator design. The Enhanced version is simulated for order 1 to order 36 to emphasize on the results of the proposed algorithm. Results shows that the enhanced CORDIC rotator design surpasses the Mean square error after the order 18 compared to standard CORDIC. Unified CORDIC also can be implemented using the said algorithm to implement different three trajectories.

Four different applications of spectral proper orthogonal decomposition (SPOD) are demonstrated on large-eddy simulation data of a turbulent jet. These are: low-rank reconstruction, denoising, frequency–time analysis and prewhitening. We demonstrate SPOD-based flow-field reconstruction using direct inversion of the SPOD algorithm (frequency-domain approach) and propose an alternative approach based on projection of the time series data onto the modes (time-domain approach). We further present a SPOD-based denoising strategy that is based on hard thresholding of the SPOD eigenvalues. The proposed strategy achieves significant noise reduction while facilitating drastic data compression. In contrast to standard methods of frequency–time analysis such as wavelet transform, a proposed SPOD-based approach yields a spectrogram that characterises the temporal evolution of spatially coherent flow structures. A convolution-based strategy is proposed to compute the time-continuous expansion coefficients. When applied to the turbulent jet data, SPOD-based frequency–time analysis reveals that the intermittent occurrence of large-scale coherent structures is directly associated with high-energy events. This work suggests that the time-domain approach is preferable for low-rank reconstruction of individual snapshots, and the frequency-domain approach for denoising and frequency–time analysis.

The recent escalade of the oil prices encourages the search and exploration of new oil fields. This represents a challenge to engineers, due to more difficult conditions of operation in harsh environments and deeper reservoirs. The offshore industry faces, in the edge of technology with new necessities and limiting conditions imposed by the environment, an increase in the cost of production. It is, therefore, of vital importance to have the equipments operating at the most optimized conditions in order to reduce these costs. VIV software developed in the frequency domain was successful in designing risers and pipelines using large safety factors and making conservative assumptions. These tools only predict single-mode vibrations. In this perspective, the present paper describes the results obtained from a new time-domain code developed to assess the vortex-induced vibrations of a long flexible cylinder. A time-domain analysis was chosen because this suits the problem well, since it is able to predict and calculate different modes of vibrations. In the model, a cylinder is divided into elements that can be exposed to an arbitrary current profile. Each of these elements is free to oscillate parallel and transversely to the flow, and is coupled to a pair of van der Pol’s wake oscillators. This simulates the vortex shedding and, therefore, the fluctuating nature of drag and lift coefficient during the occurrence of VIV. The governing equations are solved by 4th-Order Runge-Kutta schemes in time domain. The new time-domain model is compared with small scale model test data from benchmarking.

New Perspective

Wind tunnel tests have become one of the most effective ways to evaluate aerodynamics and aeroelasticity in bluff bodies. This paper has firstly overviewed the development of conventional wind tunnel test techniques, including high frequency base balance technique, static synchronous multi-pressure sensing system test technique and aeroelastic test, and summarized their advantages and shortcomings. Subsequently, two advanced test approaches, a forced vibration test technique and hybrid aeroelastic- force balance wind tunnel test technique have been comprehensively reviewed. Then the characteristics and calculation procedure of the conventional and advanced wind tunnel test techniques were discussed and summarized. The results indicated that the conventional wind tunnel test techniques ignored the effect of structural oscillation on the measured aerodynamics as the test model is rigid. A forced vibration test can include that effect. Unfortunately, a test model in a forced vibration test cannot respond like a structure in the real world; it only includes the effect of structural oscillation on the surrounding flow and cannot consider the feedback from the surrounding flow to the oscillation test model. A hybrid aeroelastic-pressure/force balance test technique that can observe unsteady aerodynamics of a test model during its aeroelastic oscillation completely takes the effect of structural oscillation into consideration and is, therefore, effective in evaluation of aerodynamics and aeroelasticity in bluff bodies. This paper has not only advanced our understanding for aerodynamics and aeroelasticity in bluff bodies, but also provided a new perspective for advanced wind tunnel test techniques that can be used for fundamental studies and engineering applications.
