Abstract

Gravity current flow past a subsea pipe above a scour based on computational fluid dynamics. For comparison, gravity current flow over pipe above a smooth bed also calculated, this configuration conventionally employed to consider the scour effect from an ideal approach. Interestingly, there different flow features and hydrodynamic forces between the scour and smooth bed cases. These results indicate that realistic conditionvery important investigatthe scour effect on gravity current flow around subsea pipe.

본 연구에서는 세굴된 해저 파이프 주위 중력류의 유동 해석을 수행하였다. 결과 비교를 위해 세굴이 아닌 평평한 해저면 위에 틈새 거리를 두고 설치된 해저 파이프 문제를 함께 고려하였다. 여기서 세굴의 깊이와 틈새 거리는 동일하며, 평평한 해저면 위에 설치된 파이프 문제는 일반적으로 실제 세굴효과를 이상적으로 구현하기 위해 주로 고려된다. 중력류와 해저 파이프 상호작용에 대한 유동특성의 이해를 위해 농도 및 와도장, 압력장 그리고 양항력 계수 등, 다양한 물리량들을 비교 및 분석 하였다. 결과적으로 세굴과 평평한 해저면 위에 설치된 해저 파이프 주위 유동특성이 달라짐을 관찰하였다, 특히 세굴의 위 파이프의 경우 구조물 상부에서 발달된 음의 와만 하류로 나아가게 되지만 평탄면 위 파이프는 이열 와구조 형태를 가지는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 중력류에 놓인 해저 파이프의 안전 설계를 위해서는 무엇보다 실제 세굴조건을 고려하는 것이 중요 할 것으로 판단된다.
