PR-453-134504-R04 CFD Simulation of Hydrodynamic Forces on Submarine Pipelines

This document is the Final report of the Milestone 4 of the SPDA-1-3 Industry High Value Objectives project. It presents validation of the CFD models prepared for simulation of wave and current forces on subsea pipelines as well as a summary of the CFD results on singular pipelines.

Although the original scope was considering simulation of small diameters pipes only, through CFD research, it was found necessary and useful to extend the scope to include larger pipes.

The results of CFD simulations will be integrated with the software in the next phases of the project.
