Multiphase forces on bend structures – influence of upstream disturbance
conference paper
Piping structures are generally subjected to high dynamic loading due to multiphase fluid forces. In particular subsea structures are very vulnerable as large flexibility is required to cope for instance with thermal stresses. The forces due to multiphase flow are characterized by a broadband spectrum with high amplitudes. These forces differ with flow regimes and are still difficult to predict. Therefore a joint industry project was setup to perform both large scale (6”) flow tests and to qualify CFD procedures and settings to calculate these forces with sufficient accuracy.
