Abstract

The application belongs to the technical field of marine resource development, and is a calculation method for vortex-induced vibration of a deep-sea mining riser under the action of internal waves. According to wave parameters such as the wave amplitude and wavelength of the marine internal waves, the velocity and acceleration distribution characteristics of the flow field are determined to provide load input for the calculation of vortex-induced vibration of the deep-sea mining riser. The marine internal wave flow field has significant particularity, which is different from uniform flow and typical shear flow, and is a kind of non-uniform shear flow. Based on the particularity of the marine internal wave flow field, the vortex-induced load distribution on the deep-sea mining riser under the action of the improved traditional wake oscillator model is obtained. In view of the geometric nonlinearity problem caused by the large slenderness ratio of the deep-sea mining super-long riser and the weak constraint characteristics of the deep-sea mining riser, the rigid body displacement and elastic deformation of the riser are separated and calculated by using the co-rotational coordinate method, so as to improve the calculation efficiency to meet the actual engineering requirements, and form the calculation method for vortex-induced vibration of the deep-sea mining riser under the action of the marine internal waves.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of marine resource development technology, and in particular to a method for calculating vortex-induced vibration of deep-sea mining risers under internal wave action. Background Technology

[0002] Polymetallic nodules and cobalt-rich crusts in seabed mineral deposits are important strategic resources, providing essential raw materials for industries such as energy, aerospace, and electronics. Deep-sea mining equipment is crucial in the development of deep-sea mineral resources. Deep-sea mineral transport pipelines, in particular, are subjected to complex marine environmental loads during long-term offshore operations. Accurate prediction of the vortex-induced vibration response of marine risers is a key guarantee and important support for safe operation and production in deep-sea mining engineering.

[0003] Currently, the computational accuracy for ultra-long, geometrically nonlinear pipelines used in deep-sea mining is insufficient to meet the demands of practical engineering and timeliness. Therefore, developing a method for predicting the dynamic response of risers under complex marine environmental loads with independent intellectual property rights has significant engineering value and scientific importance. Surface waves and ocean currents are typical marine environmental loads experienced by marine risers, but the frequent occurrence of internal ocean waves has attracted increasing attention from scholars and engineers. Internal ocean waves, due to their characteristics of being hidden underwater, having a large scale, and exhibiting strong nonlinearity, are significantly different from surface waves, making their dynamic characteristics on marine risers more complex. Furthermore, marine risers possess large aspect ratios and strong geometrical nonlinearity, thus posing a challenge to the development of numerical simulation methods for the effects of internal ocean wave loads on marine risers under real-scale conditions.

[0004] Unlike typical uniform and shear flow fields, the flow field around risers in deep-sea mining exhibits unsteady and strong shear characteristics as internal ocean waves propagate. Therefore, commonly used wake oscillator models for assessing vortex-induced loads are insufficient to accurately predict the vortex-induced loads on risers under the influence of internal waves. It is necessary to modify and improve the wake oscillator model based on the specific characteristics of the internal wave flow field to enhance the accuracy of riser vortex-induced load assessment. This, in turn, provides accurate internal solitary wave load input for the riser, enabling real-time and accurate calculation of the riser's vortex-induced vibration response. The large aspect ratio and strong geometric nonlinearity of full-scale marine risers pose challenges to the efficient and accurate solution of their dynamic response. Furthermore, for weakly constrained marine risers in deep-sea mining hydraulic lifting systems, the large deformation typical of risers, coupled with significant rigid body displacements, under marine environmental loads further increases the workload of iterative calculations in the finite element model, thereby reducing the computational efficiency of the riser's dynamic response. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a method for calculating the vortex-induced vibration of deep-sea mining risers under internal wave loading. Based on the unsteady strong shear characteristics of the ocean internal wave flow field and considering the instantaneous characteristics of vortex shearing, this invention improves the wake oscillator model to determine the vortex-induced load on deep-sea mining risers under internal wave loading. Furthermore, this invention uses an efficient co-rotating coordinate beam element finite element method to solve the vortex-induced vibration response of a real-scale marine riser under the action of an internal solitary wave flow field, thereby enabling the prediction and analysis of the vortex-induced vibration response of deep-sea mineral transport risers under the influence of ocean internal wave loading, providing a basis for the engineering design of deep-sea mining risers.

[0061] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0062] This invention provides a method for calculating vortex-induced vibration of deep-sea mining risers under internal wave action. By improving the wake oscillator model, it proposes an evaluation method suitable for solving the vortex-induced load of deep-sea mining and transportation pipelines under the action of internal wave flow fields. This method can obtain the instantaneous vortex-induced load of the unsteady internal wave flow field, providing load input for calculating the vortex-induced vibration response. Considering the geometric characteristics of ultra-long deep-sea mining and transportation pipelines, the axial strain of the pipeline is taken into account, and an improved strain tensor is introduced. Based on the flow field load characteristics, geometric dimensions, and material properties of the pipeline, the tension of the pipeline is corrected to obtain the effective tension of the element. In the calculation of vortex-induced vibration load, the characteristics of large aspect ratio and strong geometric nonlinearity of real-scale marine risers, as well as the special property of large rigid body displacement in weakly constrained deep-sea mineral transportation risers, are fully considered. A dynamic response calculation model based on a beam element finite element model in a co-rotating coordinate system is established, which can efficiently calculate the vortex-induced vibration response of deep-sea mineral transportation pipelines under the action of internal wave flow fields.

[0080] Based on the unsteady time-domain distribution information of the flow field velocity, the vortex shedding frequency in the oscillator equation is modified to obtain a wake oscillator model considering instantaneous changes. Specifically, in a preferred embodiment of this invention, the wake oscillator model considering instantaneous changes includes: the unsteady and strong shear characteristics of the ocean internal wave flow field cause the flow field parameters (such as flow velocity and vortex shedding frequency) around the riser to change with time and depth. The steady fluid velocity in the wake oscillator model is replaced with a time-varying velocity profile induced by ocean internal waves to obtain instantaneous information of the flow field around the deep-sea mining riser; considering the influence of density stratification, the vortex shedding Strouhal number St(z,t) in the stratified fluid is introduced.

[0081] St(z,t)=St0(z,t)f(Ri(z))

[0082]

[0083] Where St0(z,t) is the uniform density eddy Strouhal number, f is the density stratification function, z is the vertical coordinate, U(z,t) represents the velocity of the ocean internal wave flow field, Ri(z) is the Richardson number in the stratified fluid, ρ(z,t) is the flow field density distribution, and ρ0 is the average flow field density.
