Wave induced forces around buried pipelines

01 May 2002-Ocean Engineering (Pergamon)-Vol. 29, Iss: 5, pp 533-544
TL;DR: In this paper, the wave induced pressure on a pipeline buried in a sandy bed at different burial depth ratios is analyzed. But the results show that wave induced pressures are significantly controlled by the wave period analyzed in terms of the scattering parameter (ka).

TL;DR: In this article, a flexible rubber plate was placed between the submarine pipeline and bed, while the rigid spoiler was attached to the top of the pipe to enhance the scour depth and extent.
Abstract: This paper presents results from laboratory experimental model studies investigating scour by waves around a pipeline attached to a flexible rubber plate or rigid spoiler. The rubber plate was placed between the submarine pipeline and bed, while the rigid spoiler is attached to the top of the pipe. The scour around pipelines with and without a rubber plate or a rigid spoiler under regular and irregular waves was observed and measured for a range of pipe sizes, wave amplitudes and frequencies, and the length of the plate/height of the spoiler. The experiments reveal that although the rigid spoilers can enhance the scour depth and extent (thus accelerating the self-burial of the pipe), they also have significant influence on both the upstream and downstream bed topography as sand ripples and dunes are formed. On the other hand, the rubber plates cannot only significantly increase the scour depth but also have little effect on the upstream and downstream bed. The experiments show that when the length of the plate is about 1.5 times the pipe size, it provides the optimum performance in terms of the largest scour depth while restricting the impact on nearby beds for the parameters investigated in this study.

TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical and experimental study of the local scour of the piggyback pipe under steady current was conducted and the influence of prominent factors such as pipe diameter, inflow Reynolds number, and gap between the main and small pipes, on the maximum scour depth was examined and discussed in detail.
Abstract: As a new type of submarine pipeline, the piggyback pipeline has been gradually adopted in engineering practice to enhance the performance and safety of submarine pipelines. However, limited simulation work and few experimental studies have been published on the scour around the piggyback pipeline under steady current. This study numerically and experimentally investigates the local scour of the piggyback pipe under steady current. The influence of prominent factors such as pipe diameter, inflow Reynolds number, and gap between the main and small pipes, on the maximum scour depth have been examined and discussed in detail. Furthermore, one formula to predict the maximum scour depth under the piggyback pipeline has been derived based on the theoretical analysis of scour equilibrium. The feasibility of the proposed formula has been effectively calibrated by both experimental data and numerical results. The findings drawn from this study are instructive in the future design and application of the piggyback pipeline.
