Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of marine engineering technology, and in particular to a self-excited vibration experimental device under high Reynolds number rigid double riser interference. Background Technology

[0002] Offshore risers are key equipment in offshore oil and gas development, playing a vital role in connecting the seabed to oil and gas platforms and transporting oil and gas. In actual marine environments, risers are subjected to ocean currents, causing vortices to be released periodically on both sides. This results in periodic vibrations of the riser in directions perpendicular to and in sync with the incoming current. When the vibration frequency is close to a certain natural frequency of the riser, it can trigger a large-amplitude vibration phenomenon known as "vortex-induced vibration".

[0003] In deep-sea floating platform operations, due to space constraints, risers are often arranged in a cluster. There is a strong hydrodynamic interference coupling between the risers. That is, the upstream riser undergoes a typical vortex-induced vibration response under the excitation of the free flow, while the downstream riser undergoes a more complex wake-induced vibration response under the excitation of the wake vortex of the upstream riser. This phenomenon is called multi-pipe interference.

[0004] Currently, industry and academia mainly focus on the vortex-induced characteristics of single-tube vortex-induced vibrations, while the dynamic behavior of vortex-induced wake vortex-induced vibrations under the interference of two tubes has not been fully revealed. A patent from 2012 (CN201210439276.0) provides a device for simulating self-excited oscillations under mutual interference of two risers in uniform flow. This device numerically solves the riser motion equations based on measurement data and controls the risers to move according to the calculated response through a drive device, thereby simulating self-excited vibrations. However, this method has the following drawbacks: the experimental device generates motion through external force, which cannot realistically reproduce the self-excited vibrations of risers in a constant flow field. Furthermore, under high Reynolds number flow, the numerical solution based on the mechanical model may be distorted from the actual physical phenomena, leading to doubts about its reliability and applicability; the arrangement of the two sets of rigid risers is monotonous, and the relative position and angle between the risers cannot be flexibly adjusted, making it difficult to comprehensively study the complex coupling behavior between multiple risers.

[0005] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop an experimental device that can reliably and effectively observe the vortex-induced vibration characteristics of multi-tube risers. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide a self-excited vibration experimental device under high Reynolds number rigid double riser interference, suitable for vortex-induced vibration experiments of two rigid risers under high Reynolds number flow.

[0031] Preferably, the rigid riser module includes a rigid riser and a foam cylinder. The rigid riser is made of composite lightweight carbon fiber material and has small holes at both ends for wiring and to prevent the cable of the force sensor from contacting the rigid riser.

[0039] The present invention sets cross-bracing steel wires between the outer end plates on both sides, so as to keep the movement of the two ends of the rigid riser synchronized, and avoid the jamming between the air bearing bush and the optical axis, which would greatly increase the frictional damping of the system and affect the experimental results.

[0040] The present invention has a robust overall structure, which can ensure the stable operation of the main structure and sensors even under the large load generated by high Reynolds number flow. Compared with traditional devices, it reduces the risk of failure under extreme conditions and improves the stability and durability of the experimental device. During the experiment, important sensitive parameters of the two sets of rigid risers vortex-induced vibration experiments can be flexibly adjusted, such as the mass ratio of the rigid risers, natural frequency, and the distance and relative arrangement angle of the two risers, thereby improving experimental efficiency.

The signal lines and power lines of the three-part force sensor 55 and displacement sensor 51, as well as the air tube of the air bearing bush 35, are reasonably arranged along the profile of the outer fixing module 1 using waterproof tape to avoid the lines swaying in the water during the experiment or some lines being improperly arranged to hinder the movement of the transverse vibration module 3.

[0089] Finally, the experimental setup is fixed to the water tank or trailer structure, and the inner sliding module 2 is fixed to the outer fixed module 1 by the base plate fixing member 365; specifically, the base plate 26 fixing member is fixed to the base plate 26 on one side and to the profile of the outer fixed module 1 on the other side by bolts; after fixing, the signal line and power line of the measuring module 5 are connected and the air bearing bush 35 is vented, and the dual-tube self-excited vibration experiment can be carried out.

[0090] like Figure 11 As shown, in this embodiment, the distance between the two rigid risers 41 can be flexibly adjusted by moving the slider 16, which can further study the influence of different distances on the vortex-induced vibration characteristics of the two rigid risers; by installing the first hooks 22 of the two sets of inner sliding modules 2 at different heights, it can be used to explore the vortex-induced vibration law of the two sets of rigid risers under different arrangement angles.

[0091] like Figure 12 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, in some embodiments, the limiting block 263, the third connecting rod 6 and the C-clamp 364 can realize various working conditions such as one set of rigid risers moving while the other set of rigid risers remains stationary, the two sets of rigid risers moving synchronously, and the two sets of rigid risers moving independently.

[0092] like Figure 15 As shown, in some embodiments, the weights of the two sets of transverse vibration modules 3 are flexibly adjusted. m 1 and m 2 This allows for further investigation into the vortex-induced vibration characteristics of two sets of rigid risers with the same or different mass ratios; in some implementations, the spring stiffness of the two sets of transverse vibration modules 3 can be flexibly adjusted. k 1 and k 2 This allows for further investigation into the vortex-induced vibration patterns of two sets of rigid risers with the same or different natural frequencies.

[0093] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, and these modifications or equivalent substitutions cannot cause the modified technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
