... for the fairing and riser system and confirmed low drag coefficient (0.4) in Malikai environment. Experiments verified it further. The second part of the study was focussed on investigating VIM of TLP and TAD. The CFD simulations were first carried out to validate the motion of TLP at the lab-scale...

... in stationary water. This paper describes the use of CFD coupled with analytical methods to obtain key characteristic parameters associated with an oscillating BOP stack. The analysis shows that the steady-state drag coefficient significantly under predicts the drag coefficient for an oscillating BOP stack...

.... These drag coefficients could be used in conventional calculations for overturning moment analysis. With that goal in mind, no wind profile was applied; the entire SE MODU was exposed to a constant wind velocity. All structures were included in the model to capture any aerodynamic interactions. The forces...

... is that the models were developed using North Sea data, coupled with an assumption that the surface drag coefficient increases with wind speed. The net result is that at high wind speeds the API RP 2MET relations yield a mean velocity profile that increases too rapidly with height, overestimating wind speeds...

The use of drag coefficients based on steady flow can significantly underestimate the amount of damping that occurs as the BOP stack oscillates vertically, especially for small-amplitude oscillations.

.... Using a 0.09m diameter, 2.4m long flexible model riser, suppression performance, design sensitivity, and general handling features were determined. At the highest velocity, equivalent to a Reynolds Number of 1.4x105, VIV amplitude was reduced to ~ 0.02D, and drag coefficient to 1.12. High frequency...
