FLUID LOADS ON PIPELINES: SHELTERED OR SLIDING

The results of three test programmes investigation the hydrodynamic loading on marine pipelines are presented. These test programmes are extensions to a comprehensive test programme with a pipeline on a flat seabed. The individual test series cover partially buried pipelines sliding on the seabed. Each of these cases represents a variation from the fully exposed, fixed pipeline, and for all cases reductions in the hydrodynamic loading appear. The paper presents these reductions and the associated force coefficients as functions of the dimensionless, governing parameter.
