The flow distribution within a reduced scale model pipeline to study and determine the best splitting device for a horizontal pipeline through experiments were conducted. In this research, five splitting devices are designed and tested on the model rig. Out of five, only one splitting device has been chosen that achieved the objective the best; to improve airflow to be a homogeneous flow in the pipe, or at least reducing and improving from the roping condition. The process of selecting the best device had been done through qualitative analysis of velocity profile and airflow distribution obtained from Pitot Tube measurements, besides the airflow pattern and behavior through PIV results.

In this article, we present the numerical analysis of a Free Standing Riser. The numerical simulation was carried out using a commercial riser analysis software suit. The numerical model’s dimensions were the same of a 1/70 reduced scale model deployed in a previous experiment. The numerical results were compared with experimental results presented in a previous article [1]. Discussion about the model and limitations of the numerical analysis is included.

Braking system is one of the important control systems of an automotive. For many years, the disc brakes have been used in automobiles for the safe retarding of the vehicles. During the braking enormous amount of heat will be generated and for effective braking sufficient heat dissipation is essential. The thermal performance of disc brake depends upon the characteristics of the airflow around the brake rotor and hence the aerodynamics is an important in the region of brake components. A CFD analysis is carried out on the braking system as a case study to make out the behavior of airflow distribution around the disc brake components using ANSYS CFX software. We are interested in the determination of the heat transfer coefficient (HTC) on each surface of a ventilated disc rotor varying with time in a transient state using CFD analysis, and then imported the surface film condition data into a corresponding FEM model for disc temperature analysis.

Nowadays, the safe operation of HP-HT subsea pipelines resting on seabed must take into account the thermal buckling phenomenon. The transport of oil with high pressure and temperature can cause uncontrolled thermal buckling in subsea pipelines. The failure risk must be carefully evaluated to design the pipeline with safety. Nowadays to control the thermal buckling the use of man made triggers is seen like the best solution for cost and safety of subsea pipelines. Some projects employ man-made triggers to control the thermal buckling in the last years around the world. In this article is presented the system and methodology used to test some solutions in a reduced scale model. Different geometric setups along the model line were tested. Solutions like sleepers, dual sleepers and buoyancy were tested and the geometric and structural behavior monitored. The reduced model has 195 m length, and was developed in the IPT Towing Tank, representing a pipeline section of almost 6 km long. Strains, temperature, pressure and displacements were measured in several sections of the model. Additionally, an imaging technique for the model geometry retrieval was developed. This paper presents the experimental setup developed to investigate the performance of man-made triggers solutions for HP-HT subsea pipelines.

Basic knowledge of a ship's vertical motions in waves of different angles of approach is an essential requirement in the formulation of allowance criteria on which to base harbour accessibility under extreme wave conditions. A comprehensive series of scale model tests are being undertaken to establish minimum underkeel clearance for given channel depths and sea states using two models representing typical 150 000 and 270 000 dwt bulk carriers.
