Theoretical and experimental study on dynamic behavior of submarine pipelines under laying operation with articulated stingers is described in this paper. Wave response tests in regular waves and forced oscillation tests in still water were conducted using the 1/20 scale model of 406.4 mm o.d. (16 in. o.d.) pipeline laid in 150 m (500 ft) water depth. The results show that: 1) the maximum dynamic bending moment of pipeline MDmax occur at a stinger roller, 2) dynamic bending moment of pipelines MD at shorter periods are larger than those at longer periods, 3) the values of MD in an over-bend region depend highly upon stinger motion, 4) those of MD in a sag-bend region are less than MD max in an over-bend region, 5) the values of MD/HMY increase as the stinger volume increases and that 6) stinger motion at shorter periods are different from those at longer periods.

Stability Performance

In recent years, the trimaran as a novel ship has been greatly developed. The subsequent large vertical motion needs to be studied and resolved. In this article, an experimental study for a trimaran vertical stabilization control is carried out. Three modes including the bare trimaran (the trimaran without appendages, the trimaran with fixed appendages, and the trimaran with controlled appendages) are performed through model tests in a towing tank. The model tests are performed in regular waves. The range of wave period is 2.0–4.0 s, and the speed of the carriage is 2.93 and 6.51 m/s. The results of the three modes show the fixed appendages and the actively controlled appendages are all effective for the vertical motion reduction of the trimaran. Moreover, the controlled appendages are more effective for the vertical stability performance of the trimaran.

Experiments were conducted at the U.S. Naval Academy's Hydromechanics Laboratory to determine the effect of finite water depth on the resistance, heave, and trim of two different trimaran models. The models were tested at the same length to water depth ratios over a range of Froude numbers in the displacement speed regime. The models were also towed in deep water for comparison. Additionally, the side hulls were adjusted to two different longitudinal positions to investigate possible differences resulting from position. Near critical speed, a large increase in resistance and sinkage was observed, consistent with observations of conventional displacement hulls. The data from the two models are scaled up to a notional 125-m length to illustrate the effects that would be observed for actual ships similar in size to the U.S. Navy's Independence Class Littoral Combat Ship. Faired plots are developed to allow for rapid estimation of shallow water effect on trimaran resistance and under keel clearance. An example is provided.

Replenishment At Sea

During replenishment at sea operations the interaction between the two vessels travelling side by side can cause significant motions in the smaller vessel and affect the relative separation between their replenishment points. A study into these motions has been conducted including theoretical predictions and model experiments. The model tests investigated the influence of supply ship displacement and longitudinal separation on the ships’ motions. The data obtained from the experimental study has been used to validate a theoretical ship motion prediction method based on a 3-D zero-speed Green function with a forward speed correction in the frequency domain. The results were also used to estimate the expected extreme roll angle of the receiving vessel, and the relative motion between the vessels, during replenishment at sea operations in a typical irregular seaway. A significant increase in the frigate’s roll response was found to occur with an increase of the supply ship displacement, whilst a reduction in motion for the receiving vessel resulted from an increase in longitudinal separation between the vessels. It is proposed that to determine the optimal vessel separation it is vital that the motions of the vessels are not considered in isolation and all motions need to be considered for both vessels simultaneously.
