A three-tiered approach is advocated to assess the level of flow-induced vibration (FIV) threat to process piping due to internal flow. The first-tier assessment is a high-level design check on the possibility of FIV. The tier-1 screening does not pr

An active subsea field in the Gulf of Mexico has adopted a thermoplastic composite pipe (TCP) water injection jumper for its waterflood upgrade. The jumper assembly is composed of a TCP span attached to steel piping on either end. The TCP spool is li

Piping vibration had been observed in one of our refinery’s reactor inlet piping for several decades. Vibration levels in inlet piping for reactor ‘D’ and ‘E’ were highest, relative to those in reactor ‘A’, ‘B’, and ‘C’. To cope

The water injection system of an FPSO active in the Gulf of Guinea is to increase injection capacity to levels that are threatening from a flow-induced vibration perspective, such that hydrocarbon recovery can be accelerated. A three-tier method base

Hydrates amass beneath and around production equipment and can form in hydrocarbon–seawater jets/plumes. The sources of hydrocarbons in these hydrates are natural seeps or temporary production system leaks. In this paper, some of (i) the formation

We present a penalty least-squares finite element formulation for incompressible flows. The pressure degree of freedom is eliminated using the classical penalty approach and the least-squares model is formed in terms of velocity, vorticity, and dilat

When an offshore platform is exposed to a steady current, alternating vortices are shed from its aft at a regular period, creating oscillatory hydrodynamic forces. Under these forces, the platform experiences vortex-induced motions (VIM) close to its

We present least-squares based finite element formulations for the numerical solution of viscous fluid flows governed by the Navier–Stokes equations, as an alternate approach to the well-known weak form Galerkin finite element formulations. The use

An Erratum has been published for this article in International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids 2005, 49(8): 933. We present a local-analytic-based discretization procedure for the numerical solution of viscous fluid flows governed by the inc

We present a (somewhat) new finite element procedure for the analysis of higher Reynolds number fluid flows. While two-dimensional conditions and incompressible fluid flows are considered, the scheme can directly be used for three-dimensional conditi
