CFD Simulation of Vortex Induced Vibration for FRP Composite Riser with Different Modeling Methods

Steel risers are widely used in offshore oil and gas industry. However, the production capacity and depths are limited due to their extreme weight and poor fatigue and corrosion resistance. Nowadays, it is confirmed that fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite risers have apparent advantages over s...
