Effect of Fluid Flow on Subsea Pipe Line Riser

The study of the effect of fluid flow on subsea pipe line riser is presented on this report. The main focus of this study is the investigation of vibration that is due to the fluid flow effect externally on subsea pipe line riser. From vibration perspective, the hydrodynamic flow characteristic which is the sea water wave has a remarkable influence to the pipe line riser that may contribute to the high vibration. The effect of the high vibration will eventually ends the life’s span of the pipe line riser earlier than expected.
