Dynamic behaviour analysis of a subsea manifold during installation (Manifolds)

Duration: 2019-04-01 – 2021-03-31

Coordination: Instituto Superior Técnico

Funding Entity: Fundação COPPETEC, Brasil (ADIST 290/2019 - 21251)

Carrying out numerical simulations in CFD to obtain hydrodynamic coefficients of a manifold, using 3 (three) different manifold models (solid prism, a detailed manifold and a modified manifold). The simulations aim to determine the drag, two lift components, two momentum components and the flow around the studied object. Furthermore, it is planned to evaluate the Keulegan-Carpenter effect with and without current.
