Abstract

In this paper, numerical simulation of a flexible riser is carried out at first. Results are compared with the model test to verify the validity of the solver. Then, cases with different KC number with the same motion amplitudes are simulated to explain the effect of KC number in the VIV of the riser in the oscillatory flow. Typical characteristics of the vibration are observed including the modal transition and the “build-up-lock-in-die-out” process. Finally, through wavelet analysis, it was found that the main control modes at different positions were in three states when KC number was 84 and 168.
