A flexible riser consists of several layers which have different materials, shapes and functions. The layers designed properly can take the design load safely, and each property of layer provides a complexity of flexible riser. Such complexity/unit-property is an input for global analysis of flexible riser. There are several approaches to calculate the complexity of flexible riser, those are experimental, numerical and theoretical methods. This paper provides a complexity from numerical and theoretical analysis for 2.5 inch flexible riser of which details and the experimental data are already produced under tension, external pressure, and bending moment. In addition, comparison of stiffness and stress are also provided. Especially, analysis of stress could lead to researches on ultimate strength or fatigue strength of flexible risers.

본 논문에서는 금후 널리 사용되리라고 예상되는 장대 유연한 해양구조계의 동적 응답에 대한 능동제어를 다루었다. 제어기법으로는 optimal, adaptive 제어와 우주구조물의 진동제어에 사용되는 LAC/HAC 제어를 도입하여 simulation과 모형실험을 수행하였다. 기존의 발표된 최적제어 실험결과는 만족스럽지 못하여 다시 수행할 필요성이 있었다. 그 결과, 해양구조계의 위치 및 탄성변형이 타당한 제어력 범위내에서 제어가 되어 본 연구에서 제안한 제어시스템의 유효성이 입증되었다. 또한 제어기법간의 비교를 통하여 장대 유연한 해양구조계에 대한 최적의 제어기법에 대하여 조사를 하였는데, 초기 시스템 파라미터의 추정에 오차가 있는 경우 적응제어 알고리즘의 장점을 확인할 수가 있었다.

Static and dynamic analyses of a very flexible and light riser, for upwelling the deep ocean water, is performed. In this numerical study, an implicit finite difference algorithm is employed for three-dimensional riser equations. Fluid non-linearity and bending stiffness are considered and solved, using the Newton-Raphson iteration. Maintaining the depth of end point of a flexible and light riser is very important for upwelling deep ocean water in a floating type development system. Weight is attached at the end point of the riser in order to maintain its intake depth. It is designed under the strong surface current and the configuration of the rise is predicted. In the dynamic analysis, the tension variation at the top point of the riser is presented. T e results of this study can contribute to the design of the development system in floating type for upwelling deep ocean water.

A basic design on a flexible riser in a floating type development system for upwelling deep ocean water is presented. In the numerical study, an implicit finite difference algorithm is employed for three-dimensional riser equations. Fluid and geometric non-linearity and bending stiffness are considered and solved by Newton-Raphson iteration. To keep the depth of end point of a flexible and light riser is very important for upwelling deep ocean water in a floating type development system. Weight attached at the end point of the riser in order to keep its intake depth is designed under the strong surface current and the configuration of the riser is predicted. The results of this study can be contributed to the design of the development system in floating type for upwelling deep ocean water.
