In the offshore drilling, during emergency disconnect scenario the drilling operation must not be maintained and forced LMRP disconnect procedure takes place [1,2]. Such procedure allows drilling mud to interact with seawater. The paper presents hydrodynamic behavior of a drilling riser when mud is retained and not interacted with seawater. A two-way coupled fluid-structure interaction (FSI) model between a simplified drilling riser structure and mud fluid was studied through techniques of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The volume of fluid (VOF) hydrodynamics model was used with commercially available software STAR-CCM+ [3]. A 3D finite element (FE) model of a drilling riser was created in FE software ABAQUS [4] to determine the stress and deflection of structural parts of the model due to hydrodynamic loads. In the model, the compressibility [5] and non-linear behavior of the mud was included. The dynamic frequencies of the two domains and possible resonance of the coupled system were investigated. The aim of the study was to verify the dynamic behavior of a riser system with a drilling mud enclosed within the system. The authors of this paper know no similar study of such a problem.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
