Abstract:A literature review of experimental and computational hydrodynamic research is presented with the objective of highlighting the parameters that affect riser added mass coefficient (Ca) and drag coefficient (Cd). Typical riser analysis is conducted assuming constant values of hydrodynamic coefficients. However, depending on the flow regime, the hydrodynamic coefficients can vary significantly, and hence using the most conservative values in all analyses can result in overly conservative riser responses. For exa… Show more
