Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of ocean engineering construction, in particular to a device, an ocean riser and a method for inhibiting vortex-induced vibration.

Background

With the gradual depletion of onshore and shallow sea oil resources, many countries and regions have turned their eyes to deep sea areas rich in oil and gas resources. The riser is a key structure for connecting a sea surface operation platform and a seabed drilling and production facility in a deep sea oil and gas development system. When ocean current passes through the vertical pipe, vortex shedding is generated on two sides of the vertical pipe alternately, so that periodic pulsating force is formed on the surface of the structure to cause the vertical pipe to vibrate, and when the vortex shedding frequency is close to a certain-order natural vibration frequency of the vertical pipe, the vortex shedding frequency and the vertical pipe vibration frequency are locked with each other to cause the vertical pipe to vibrate greatly, and the vibration is called vortex-induced vibration. Vortex induced vibration is one of the important causes of fatigue failure of marine risers and other cylindrical structures. In order to reduce or eliminate the influence of vortex-induced vibration and prolong the service life of the marine riser in actual engineering, a vortex-induced vibration suppression measure is often needed.

The existing technology for restraining vortex-induced vibration of a cylindrical structure comprises a fairing, a guide plate, a spiral strake and other restraining devices, and has the following defects: firstly, the restraining devices have relatively complex structures, are difficult to install and store, require extra installation cost, are easy to fall off under the action of ocean currents, are difficult to maintain, and are difficult to recycle materials; secondly, the guide plate needs to rotate along with the incoming flow direction, the design is complex, the application of the guide plate in deep water is limited, and the service life is short; and thirdly, the inhibition effect of the spiral strake is greatly influenced by the thread pitch, the number of thread heads and the length, and the design difficulty is increased.

A second object of the present invention is to provide a marine riser suppressing vortex induced vibrations.

a third object of the present invention is to provide a method of suppressing vortex-induced vibration.

a fourth object of the present invention is to provide a method for suppressing vortex-induced vibration of a cluster-arranged riser group.

in order to realize the purpose, the invention discloses the following technical scheme:

the invention discloses a device for inhibiting vortex-induced vibration, which comprises a shell, wherein the outer side of the shell is provided with a plurality of ridges protruding out of the outer surface of the shell, and the ridges are parallel; a plurality of groove parts are formed among the plurality of ridge parts, and the ridge parts and the groove parts are in smooth transition; the plurality of ridges are spirally distributed on the outer surface of the shell.

further, the housing is cylindrical; alternatively, the housing may have an arc surface shape, and a plurality of housings may be joined together to form a cylindrical shape.

Further, the number of ridges is any number between 8 and 24.

Further, the shell can be sleeved outside the riser, the diameter D of a circle surrounded by the lowest points of the groove portions is taken, and the ratio of the height of the ridge portions to the diameter of the device or the floating body can be between 4% D and 16% D.

Further, the pitch of the housing ridge may be between 2D to 16D.

Further, the shell and the ridge are integrally formed.

Further, the shell and spine are directly injection molded or extruded from a non-metallic composite material that includes a plurality of materials having a density greater than or equal to or less than water.

Secondly, the invention also discloses the marine riser for inhibiting the vortex-induced vibration, wherein the outer surface of the riser is provided with a plurality of ridges which are parallel; a plurality of groove parts are formed among the plurality of ridge parts, and the ridge parts and the groove parts are in smooth transition; the plurality of ridges are spirally distributed on the outer surface of the stand pipe.

thirdly, the invention also discloses a method for inhibiting the vortex-induced vibration, and the device for inhibiting the vortex-induced vibration comprises the following steps:

1) According to the size of the outer diameter of the marine riser, a plurality of pairs of semi-circular shells with the same size are manufactured, and when each pair of shells are combined into an annular cylinder, ridges distributed on the outer surfaces of the two shells are mutually matched to form a spiral structure;

2) pairs of shells are arranged in succession in the radial direction of the marine riser: the two shells cling to the surface of the pipeline, and a sleeve is formed in a manner that ridges or grooves on the outer surfaces of the two shells are respectively matched with each other to form a spiral structure and is fixedly connected to the marine riser.

Fourthly, the invention also discloses a method for inhibiting the vortex-induced vibration of the cluster-arranged riser group, which comprises a plurality of marine risers sleeved with the vortex-induced vibration inhibiting device or a plurality of marine risers for inhibiting the vortex-induced vibration, wherein the cluster-arranged risers refer to the arrangement of the marine risers sleeved with the vortex-induced vibration inhibiting device or the marine risers for inhibiting the vortex-induced vibration according to a certain geometric form, including but not limited to a rectangle, a rhombus or a triangle.

The principle of the invention is that the Richter day wheel column (Cereus Forbesii spiral) is inspired, the Richter day wheel column generally grows in the severe environment of common strong wind and can grow very high, the spiral structure on the surface plays a great role, certain disturbance can be applied to incoming flow, the regular formation and falling of vortex are damaged, and thus the fluid force acting on the structure is reduced. The inventors believe that the helical shape of the surface reduces the fluid forces exerted on the surface of the zernike style column at high wind speeds and therefore this shape configuration is beneficial for suppressing vortex induced vibrations. The inventor uses the structure for reference, and the structure is applied to the marine riser and can also play a role in inhibiting vortex-induced vibration.

Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following beneficial effects:

1) Compared with the traditional vortex-induced vibration suppression technology using a combination form of a spiral strake and a spiral groove, the vortex-induced vibration suppression device can not only apply certain disturbance to incoming flow to change the Reynolds number, so that the flow state enters a turbulent flow state in advance, and the regular formation and falling of vortex are damaged, thereby achieving the effect of suppressing the vortex-induced vibration.

2) Because the ridge and the shell or the marine riser are integrated, the spiral strake and the groove do not need to be additionally used for constructing a spiral shape in the implementation process, and the method is simpler and more efficient compared with the traditional construction method.

3) In the invention, the shell of the sleeve can be produced in batch by injection molding or extrusion through a die, the manufacturing process is simplified, the manufacturing cost is reduced, the installation process is simple, the shell can be installed through a production line, the working efficiency is improved, and the construction cost is reduced.
