S-. INTRODUCTION

Objective

The objective of this study was to determine analytically the lateral

stability of the Navy's flexible submarine hoselines in a slowly varying

current. This goal was achieved through the development of three easy

to use design tools: a numerical simulation model, design charts, and a

parametric model.

Scope

This effort analyzed the lateral stability of a flexible submarine

hoseline in varying currents. The analysis was limited to a long hose

of little flexural and torsional stiffness. Further, only the behavior

of a taut hose segment was studied. The response of a slack hose segment,

which has zero axial tension, was not included. Theories for simulating

the behaviors of a submarine hoseline in currents were derived. Design

tools were developed to provide the required stability for engineering

applications.

This report presents the development of the hoseline simulation

model. Pertinent theories used in the derivation of the model are briefly

described. The numerical solution techniqjes incorporated in the computer

code are included in Appendix A. The procedures and major findings obtained

from the parametric analysis are also discussed. Results of the analysis

are presented in graphs to show the infliiew'e of each governing parameter.

Design charts and parametric models for typical Navy hoses are presented

followed by a guideline for using these results for design.

Page 7: LATERAL STABILITY OF A FLEXIBLE

Background

Large volumes of fuels are consumed daily by amphibious forces when

engaged on a battle field. Liquid cargo of the required volume can be

transferred only by tankers, which may be moored several miles from shore.

The cargo is discharged through conduits to the beachhead. Time is a

critical factor; it dominates system design in addition to functional

reliability. Thus, the most effective system is the one that is trans-

ported easily and rapidly, requires the least resources for installation

and operation, and is largely universal. The Naval Civil Engineering

Laboratory (NCEL) is currently developing a flexible high-strength con-

duit to maximize the effectiveness of the Navy's liquid cargo handling

system. The conduit, which is highly collapsible and allows a very

small bending radius, could be compactly spooled on hose reels for easy

storage and transportation.

Among the engineering considerations, the most important factor in

a submarine flowline design is to ensure lateral stability against envi-

ronmental loads. The most frequently used stabilization techniques in

industrial practice are weight coating, trenching, and anchoring. Heavy

coating negates the collapsibility of the conduit, and commercial pipe-

line trenching operations require heavy equipment and intensive labor at

the site. These features are obviously contrary to the primary objective

of expediting the military contingency operation. Therefore,

securing the flowline with mechanical anchors seems to be the most

practical approach for stabilization. There have been a number of

extensive investigations on the stability of semirigid submarine

pipeline systems (Ref 1, 2, and 3). However, highly flexible hoselines

have received little attention. A direct numerical integration

technique has been employed successfully to describe the catenary shape

of a long cable subject to steady ocean current (Ref 4, 5, and 6). This

effort was to investigate the feasibility of using the same technique to

determine the behavior of a cable-like hoseline system.

SIMULATION MODEL

Problem Definition

A definition sketch of a multisegment hoseline on the ocean bottom

is given in Figure 1. The hoseline may be restrained at arbitrary loca-

tions to the bottom with mechanical anchors. A pertinent free-body dia-

gram is given in Figure 2. A right-handed coordinate system XV, X2, X3with unit orthogonal base vectors 1' a2' e3 is embedded in the bottomwith a3 directed away from the ocean bottom. The vector a1 is directedoutward perpendicular to the shore. The bottom is gently sloping in the

1 direction at an angle i with respect to the ocean surface. The gravity

vector k makes an angle ' with a3"It is assumed that the velocity vector on the bottom is oriented in

the direction of &2' There is no a1 component of the velocity vector,

and its magnitude may vary in a piecewise linear fashion with X . The

velocity is assumed to be slowly varying (i.e., at any instant a steady

current will be assumed). No inertial forces will be considered. The

velocity induces drag and lift forces on the hoseline. Morison-type

drag forces are assumed and the independence principle is invoked to

separately specify drag coefficients in the normal and tangential direc-

tions by multiplying the squares of the normal and tangent components of

velocity, respectively.

The hoseline may comprise several segments joined end-to-end and

forming a curved line on the bottom, with each segment having different

cross-sectional properties. There are anchor points at the junctions of

the segments. It is assumed that each anchor behaves as a linearly elastic

spring acting in the direction of the force necessary to equalize the

end-point tensions on the incident segments.

It is assumed that each segment slides on the bottom without roll-

ing or lifting off the bottom. An analysis including the coulling between

axial tension and torsional responses was beyond the scope of this work.

In fact, the torsional stress, which is much smaller than that of axial

tension, will not significantly affect the catenary shape of the hoseline

(Ref 6). Therefore, the current-induced loads on the hose are insensitive

3

Page 9: LATERAL STABILITY OF A FLEXIBLE

to the degree of twisting, as long as the hose cross section remains.

circular without serious buckling. Consequently, the axial and the tor-

sional responses of the hoseline are assumed separable in this develop-

ment. There is a lift force from the bottom current which tends to lift

the segment, but if the segment were to separate from the bottom, the

lift coefficient would decrease and the segment would be forced back

into contact with the bottom, as discussed in Reference 1.

The frictional force resisting sliding of each segment is assumed

to be of the Coulomb type and to be separable into components tangent

and normal to the segment, with each component having a different

coefficient of friction. The friction resistance is directly pro-

portional to the magnitude of the net force normal to the seafloor by

the coefficient of static friction if the segment is immobile, and by

the coefficient of kinetic friction as soon as the segment moves.

Typical value of the kinetic coefficient is approximately 25 percent

smaller than that of the static coefficient.

Scenario of Motion

With the hoseline resting on the bottom, equilibrium can be

established under zero velocity conditions. Then, as the velocity

increases, a scenario of motion can be constructed as follows: (1) as

the velocity increases, the drag and lift forces on the segments in-

crease, (2) the magnitude of the reactive force from the bottom de-

creases and, thus, the static Coulomb friction decreases, (3) the

friction force equilibrating the fluid drag forces and tensions in the

curved segments increases, (4) if the friction forces in a particular

segment exceed the holding capecity over a significant fraction of the

segment span, the segment will move to reestablish an equilibrium posi-

tion under those velocity conditions, (5) as the segment moves, the

frictional force decreases in magnitude to that predicted using dynamic

friction coefficients and has friction opposing the motion (i.e, in the

same direction as had the static frictional resistance), (6) new loca-

tions, orientations, and tension components are established and these

return the segment to equilibrium, (7) changes in the components of

4

Page 10: LATERAL STABILITY OF A FLEXIBLE

tension at the end point of the segments lead to changes in the spring

forces in the anchors and hence to changes in anchor locations, and

(8) once new equilibrium positions of segments and anchors are estab-

lished, the segments stop moving.

A new velocity magnitude can then be considered. If the velocity

increases or decreases, the static frictional resistance is recomputed

and compared to the holding capacity as described above.

Governing Equations

Basic Assumptions. SeveraJ basic assumptions apply throughout the

derivation of this simulation model. They are:

1. The hose is uniform in shape and material along the axis of

each segment length.

2. The hose is infinitely long in comparison to its diameter,

and hence has no flexural stiffness.

3. The hose is pressurized and maintains a circular cross section

without significant buckling.

4. The hoseline slides over the seabed without rolling if current

loads exceed friction capacity of sea bottom.

Governing Equations. The hoseline system is arbitrarily located on

the seafloor and subjected to gravity and nonuniform distributed current

loads. Gravity acts in the direction of k, which is given by:

where the summation convention on repeated indices is invoked and i is

the direction cosine of k. Hose behavior will be determined in terms of

the location coordinates and the tension components at a material point

P, which is located at an unstretched arc length S from origin along0

the hose.

5

Page 11: LATERAL STABILITY OF A FLEXIBLE

Unit vectors £ and fi, which are tangential and normal to the hoseline

at P respectively, are related to the Cartesian coordinates by:

dX

= '-' S a (2)

where Greek subscripts have range 1, 2, where 0 are the direction cosines

of t, and dS is the stretched differential length.

n = 3xt = a 0a 0 (3)

where e., = permutation symbol

= 0 if a =

= -l ifa>

= 1 ifa<

Consequently, the Cartesian base vectors as expressed in terms of tan-

gential and normal component t and fi become:

a = 0a t + V a 0 fl

For a hose section, the stretched differential length dS is related

to its original length dS by:0

ds, I + E (4)ds

0

where e is the strain. An elastomer hose fortified with wire or fabric

reinforcements usually stretches nonlinearly under tension. The relation

between elongation and axial tension is best described by empirical data.

In cases where the required data are not available, the hose elongation

is often approximated by:

= C1 T C2 (5)

where T is axial tension magnitude, while C1 and C2 are material constants.

As the hose segment is assumed to have no flexural or torsional

stiffness, the tension acts in the direction of unit tangent with magni-

tude T:

T= T = TO a = Ta a

6

Page 12: LATERAL STABILITY OF A FLEXIBLE

and components of T are:

T = T0

Therefore, using Equation 1, we obtain a first-order differential equation

dX T= (6)

for x in terms of t and magnitude T given by:Ct a

T = (rT 1/2

Replacing dS by dS0 from Equation 4, we obtain:

Dynamic Equilibrium. From dynamic equilibrium of force vector-

acting on the free body in Figure 2:

(T + dT)-.T + FL dS + F dS + F dS + F dS + F dS = 0

where T = tension at the material point P along the hose segment

F1 = current induced lift force

FD = current induced drag force

F = submerged weight per unit length of unstretched hosew

FB = sea bottom reaction normal to the seafloor

Ff = sea bottom resistance parallel to the seafloor

Canceling T and dividing by dS, we obtain:

di dS (8dT + FL + FB + = 0(8)

7

Page 13: LATERAL STABILITY OF A FLEXIBLE

The various force vectors are developed below.

Current-Induced Forces

Velocity Vector. The current velocity acting on the hose segment

in Cartesian coordinates is:

V=V

which can be expressed in normal and tangential components as:

v = Vn+V

i n it

where Vt = velocity tangential to segment

n = velocity normal to segmentn

Express t in the Cartesian coordinate system and in the tangent

direction as

Vt =V t = t

where

Vt = (V*.)t = (V e0)

Hence,

Vt =V 0

and

t = (V 0 )(0 Aa)

Therefore,

V = = V 0 0a (9)

Similarly, express V n as:

V V 6 =Vnin na a n

8

Page 14: LATERAL STABILITY OF A FLEXIBLE

Since

Vn = t

V = v = Vn na a a a ta a

Therefore,

Vna = Va - V 8 0a = V (6 - 0a 0) (10)

where 6 is Kronecker delta

6 a = 0, a 9, and

6a = 1, a

Also from Equation 3:

Vn = (V ' ) = (Vn 1 )(1 ao 0 ea)

V ao a

Drag, (FD). Assume that the drag force FD dS can be expressed as

components in the ii and t directions:

FD * dS = FDn" as + F Dr* dS

By the independence principle discussed ii Reference 4, tangential

components can be estimated in the same manner as normal components

(Ref 1)

FDn = pD• CDn IlVI vn (11a)11

FDt = pD • tVt• Vt (lib)

where CDn and CDt are normal and tangential drag coefficients. For a

hose segment of practical surface, CDt is much smaller than CDn* From

Equations 9 and 10, the magnitudes of IVtI and IVnI are:

IV ti = (Vta Vta) I/2 = (V Va 0 0 )1/2

IVnI = (Vna Vna)1 /2 = [V V) (6 0 a0)(6aq - 8 0a 11/2

Page 15: LATERAL STABILITY OF A FLEXIBLE

Express the drag force FD tirm of Equation 8 in Cartesian components:

Fn= ( p D Cn(V V )1/2 VnaDn (2 Dnj ni nii a

FDt =( p D CDt)(Vt" Vt,)I/2 Vt.

where Vna and V t are given by Equations 9 and 10.

Lift, (FL). FL dS acts in the direction of -e3" Assume:

L = - i P CL D(V V ) 3 (12)

where p = fluid dbnsity

D = hose diameter

CL = lift coefficient

According to Reference 7, the lift coefficient will remain positive but

will decrease as the hose separates from the bottom. The hose will

repeatedly be suspended in the strong current momentarily and then fall

back to the sea bottom. This situation is, however, simplified in the

analysis by assuming the hose is suspended near the sea bottom, if the

current is strong enough to lift the hose.

Gravity and Buoyancy (Submerged Weight, F )

Hose weight is specified as the wet weight per unit unstretched

length, w. The net gravity force exerted on the hose, Fw dS , acts in

the direction k and can be expressed in terms of stretched length as:

= {~dSo- = w d

Fw dS = (Fw dS) ( -) 0 1w + dS

In Cartesian components, we replace k by Equation 1 to obtain:

F dS = W dS (4, + 3 3) (13)w o 1 + ( a a 3 3)

Also, in normal and tangential components:

F dS = dS (Fw3 3 + F f + Fw )

w do

where F 3 (14)

F 0 S) w w 0 (15)wn w '1 + c 4 a

Ftw(F 'P0 (16)

w Fw dS1 + a C

and 6 is given by Equation 6 in terms of T /T.

Reactive Forces From the Sea Bottom

Reaction in 03 Direction, FB" As long as the hose remains in

contact with the bottom, a reactive force FB dS will act in the -3

direction.

Considering equilibrium in the a3 direction, noting that T has noe3 component and using Equations 12 and 14, we obtain:

1 w * 3- p D CL V V -F + w = 0

2 La a B 1+ E

which can be solved for FB

w 03 1FB = 1 - 2pDC V V

As V increases, FB decreases toward FB = 0, which occurs when the hose

segment is lifted off the seabed.

Frictional Resistance, Ff. Assu:ing that the friction force Ff dS

can be taken as components in the fl and E directions, and each is

independently proportional to the bottom reaction force, FB' we have:

Ff dS = FB dS (p Li + pt t) (17)

where Pn = coefficient of friction in fi directions

Pt = coefficient of friction in t directions

11

Page 17: LATERAL STABILITY OF A FLEXIBLE

Signs of Vn and -t are selected to oppose the tendency to move. Because

of the general shape of hose segment under current loads, Pt is assumed

to be a skew-symmetric function over the segment length

lit = V -_2

where L = span length, S = arc length from the shore end, and Vto is given.

Expressing Equation 17 in Cartesian components by Equations 2 and 3.

Ff dS = F B ds(pn e a + pt 6Da) 0 0 (18)

where 0, given by Equation 6 in terms of T,. When the segment is not

moving, the static friction force F is less than the breakout force,fs

Ffb

IFfsI Ffb = I FB

where Us = coefficient of static friction, with IlI, I't' < Ps

and the signs of Vn, lt taken the same as Ffs. Ffs is determined from

the static equilibrium in the normal direction as follows:

F = Ffs L (19)

If the segment is not moving, the friction force equilibrates the

tension gradient and other external forces in Equation 8 as long as the

friction force is less than the bottom resistance capacity vFB f.

Thus, we consider the fi components in Equation 8 to determine

static friction force for comparison to the breakout force (holding

capacity), vsFB.fi. The incremental line tension dT/dS can be decomposed

as follows:

dT Il~ )(d I0(Td-S I + e dS1 dS °

Breakout occurs if

FfsI > Vs FB

In which the sign of vs and Ft = sign of Ffs. To evaluate dT /dS° in

Equation 21, the actual computation uses central differences with dis-

crete values of T at regularly spaced points.

Dynamic Equilibrium in a Direction

If static breakout occurs, we replace the static friction coeffi-

cient by dynamic friction coefficient given by Equation 17 and consider

equilibrium in the 1 and 2 directions. Set the a components in

Equation 8 to zero using Equations 13, 11, and 18 along with:

di dT dS 0 d(T S a dTs- = _ d_ = ( J I +

0' 0 0

Therefore, solving for dTa/dS0 :

where F ( p D C (V Vn)i/2 VDna 2 Dn) nm nii n

Thus, we must solve Equation 22 as a first order differential equation

along with Equation 7, here rewritten as:

dX Ta = (a

14

Page 20: LATERAL STABILITY OF A FLEXIBLE

for T and X withaC a

T = (T T a)1/2

If the segment moves, we solve for the new equilibrium position and

tension in which the segment ceases to move.

Numerical Solutions

Rewrite the governing Equations 7 and 22 as:

dS = gla0

dT

dS = g2a + g3a

Twhere gla = (1 + ) Ta

g2a = -(1 + C) w + FD + F

g3a= g10(FB)(Ofn e + pt 6 0)

The solution to these nonlinear equations can be obtained by

iteration on quasi-linearized equations. Taking Taylor expansions of

gia, i = 1,3, we can use the Newton-Raphson iteration method as

described in Reference 8:

dXd- = gla + a l0 (T C Ta)

The iterative process proceeds as follows: assume values X and T

PARAMETRIC ANALYSIS

Parameters Considered in the Test

A sensitive analysis was conducted to investigate the influence on

the hoseline response of the governing parameters considered in the

simulation model. The parameters tested include four categories: (1)

the axial rigidity of the hose, (2) the hoseline geometry, (3) the cur-

rent velocity, and (4) the seabed resistance. Tests were conducted by

varying one parameter at a time while keeping the others constant. A

wide range of hose rigidity was tested for the influence of rigidity.

However, only a rigid hose was used in the rest of the numerical experi-

ments in order to separate the effect of other parameters from the in-

fluence of hose elongation.

Axial Rigidity of the Hose

High-strength hoses are often made of elastomers fortified with

steel or synthetic fiber reinforcement. Their axial rigidities depend

on the material and the construction of their reinforcements. These

16

Page 22: LATERAL STABILITY OF A FLEXIBLE

hoses usually stretch nonlinearly under tension as shown in Figure 3.

The data presented in Figure 3 were obtained from an elongation test of

a highly stretchable hose (Ref 9). The age and the previous loading

history of the hose may also change the axial rigidity significantly.

Therefore, it is rather difficult to accurately estimate the rigidity of

a hose. A numerical test was conducted to examine the influence of the

rigidity on the behavior of a hoseline. In order to study the effect in

general, the rigidity is represented by a load deflection relation

approximated by Equation 5. The influence of the material coefficients,

C1 and C2, were tested separately. The test was first conducted using a

hose of linear material. In this case, C2 is unity and C is directly

related to the modulus of elasticity. A wide range of Cl, which repre-

sents conduits varying from a steel pipe to a highly stretchable rubber

hose, was tested. Figures 4a and 4b present the lateral deflection and

the hose tension, respectively. Both are nondimensionalized by their

corresponding values of an unstretchable hose, which has a modulus of

elasticity equal to Esteel' Ehose and Esteel represent the modulae of

elasticity of the hose and steel, respectively. S/L denotes the segment

length-to-span ratio. The results indicated that the response of a tight

segment with small S/L ratio to a strong current is heavily influenced

by the rigidity of the hose. This fact is especially true when the

equivalent modulus of elasticity is less than one thousandth of Esteel*

It is important to note that the rigidity of a typical submarine hose is

within this range. A highly stretchable hose in a strong current elongates

extensively and develops a deeper curved shape than would a rigid hose

with the same initial S/L ratio. Therefore, the tension load and the

lateral deflection of a tight stretchable segment in a strong current

may increase as much as 300 percent, if improper hose rigidity were used,

On the other hand, the response of a tight or loose segment in moderate

currents appears to be much less sensitive to the variation of the rigidity.

The axial tension remains nearly constant over a wide range of the rigidity.

The reason can be attributed to the effect of the equilibrium shape of

the segment on the hose response, which will be described in the test of

17

Page 23: LATERAL STABILITY OF A FLEXIBLE

hoseline geometry. Figure 5 summarizes the effect of the material coef-

ficient C2. The value of C2 reflects the stiffening process of the rein-

forcement of a hose. For a realistic hose, C2 is generally less than

unity. Again, the influence of C, becomes important only when the hose

is heavily loaded beyond the extent that the hose begins stiffening.

This occurs when a tight hose is installed in a strong current.

Current Force

The current-induced force on a hose section is a function of the

current velocity, the current direction, the hose diameter, and the

hydrodynamic coefficients. This simulation model employs the Morison

equation to estimate the current force. Therefore, the current forces

can be expected to be proportional to the hose diameter and the hydro-

dynamic coefficients. If the curved shape of the hose segment remains

the same, the force should be proportional to the normal velocity squared.

This relation was verified by the results presented in Figure 6. The

hose tension, due to a broadside current, follows a parabolic function

closely, as long as the current is strong enough to overcome the seabed

resistance. The influence of the current direction on the hose response

is more complicated, because the segment changes its equilibrium shape

in compliance with the current direction, as shown in Figure 7. A hose

section oblique to the current direction experiences a much larger re-

duction in form drag than the increase in skin drag. As a result, the

total current force exerted on the section decreases significantly.

Figure 8 summarizes the anchor loads on three segments of different S/L

ratios in various current directions. The forces are nondimensionalized

by the forces due to broadside currents. Generally, the anchor loads

decrease in a form of Cos n8 as the current shifts away from the direction

normal to the hose length. The angle is defined in Figure 9. The value

of n decreases as the S/L ratio of the segment increases. Since the

hose is fairly stiff and stretches very little, the result reflects the

influence of the current direction alone. Considering a segment of S/L

= 1.0, the segment remains straight irrespective of the current direction.

The anchor load can be expected to be proportional to the normal velocity

18

Page 24: LATERAL STABILITY OF A FLEXIBLE

2' 2squared (i.e., V. cos 0), which is confirmed by the results of the case

of S/L = 1.01. On the other hand, a loose segment aligns a large portion

of its length with the current, and therefore experiences less cross

current. As a result, the effect of the current diminishes.

a.

Hoseline Geometry

The equilibrium shape of a hose segment determines the orientation

of the hose section with respect to the current, and therefore signifi-

cantly affects the total current applied on a hoseline. Intuitively, a

loose segment tends to align a larger portion of its length with the

current direction, and therefore experiences a smaller current force

than a tight segm( t. The curved shape of a flexible tension member

subject to a uniform load can be uniquely characterized by the ratio of

the segment length, S, to the span distance, L. Consequently, the S/L

ratios were selected to represent the geometry of a hoseline segment.

Figure 10 summarizes the influence of the hoseline geometry on the

hoseline behavior. Values of S/L were generated by using different

combinations of various span distances and various segment lengths. The

hoseline responses in 1.5- and 4.0-knot broadside currents were tested.

The results clearly demonstrate that the response of a hose segment of

little stretchability is determined solely by the S/L ratio and is

linearly proportional to the segment length and the span distance. In

general, the hoseline response remains roughly constant for a S/L ratio

greater than 1.2, and increases rapidly when the ratio decreases below

1.2. Since an unstretchable hose is used in this test, the lateral

deflection is not sensitive to the current velocity and the line tension

and the anchor load are closely proportional to the velocity squared, as

anticipated.

Sea Bottom Resistance

Seabed resistance depends on the combination of the unit weight of

conduit, the lifting force, and the soil properties. The soil reaction

is more complicated and less understood than other parameters involved.

19

Page 25: LATERAL STABILITY OF A FLEXIBLE

The mechanism of the soil reaction is approximated with a Coulomb fric-

tion force. All the factors involved are included in a simple friction

coefficient. Friction coefficients varying from 0.3 to 0.9, which repre-

sent a typical hard sandy seabed, were tested to show the influence on

the hose response. The tests were repeated for conduits of unit weights

from 3 to 7 pounds per linear foot in a 1.5-knot current. Unfortunately,

the results shown in Figure 11 are not conclusive. Further research

efforts are required to identify the influence of the sea bottom resis-

tance. However, the typical submarine hoses are usually light and are

likely to be lifted off the sea bottom by a moderate current. There-

fore, the influence of the bottom resistance may be negligible.

STABILITY OF NAVY HOSELINE

A three-segment hoseline secured with four anchors equally spaced

along a straight line on a flat horizontal seabed was used to show the

stability, in general, of a Navy hoseline. Stability was evaluated in

terms of the maximum lateral deflection, the maximum tension, and the

anchor loads. Calculations were conducted for two hoses of various

layouts in the current environment of practical application. The

results were compiled in a series of design charts.

Characteristics of Navy Hoses

Figure 3 demonstrates the behavior of a typical Navy submarine fuel

hose under tension. This particular hose is made of synthetic rubber

fortified with 2-ply contra helical steel wire reinforcements. Figure

3a relates the axial elongation and the variation in outside diameter of

the hose to the axial tension. The hose stretches linearly at low tension,

and becomes highly nonlinear as the tension exceeds 20 kips. This fact

can be attributed to the two distinct deformation mechanisms of the hose

reinforcements at different load levels. At low tension, the helical

wire reinforcement stretches like a regular helical spring without actually

deforming the wire material. Therefore, the hose is fairly flexible and

20

Page 26: LATERAL STABILITY OF A FLEXIBLE

a linear relation between load and deflection can be expected. As the

axial tension exceeds the magnitude which rotates the lay angle of the

reinforcement wire to the limit, the wire begins stretching itself to

resist the external loads., The hose becomes much more stiff and highly

nonlinear thereafter. Another remarkable feature of the Navy hoses,

along with their high stretchability, is their extensive diameter re-

duction. Figure 3c shows that the outside diameter of the hose reduces

almost the same amount as the axial elongation in percentage of their

original dimension. Furthermore, the results from a simple calculation

based on the data presented in Figure 3 indicate that the wall thickness

of the hose changes very little when the hose stretches (Appendix B).

Reduction in hose size is due to contraction of the inner diameter. The

reduction in hose diameter has to be properly accounted for in the cal-

culation of current loads experienced by the hose segments. The axial

stiffness of the hose is also dependent on the pressure inside the hose.

High internal pressure resists the radial contraction of the hose rein-

forcement layer. This makes the reinforcement layer harder to stretch,

as for a helical spring. As a result, the hose becomes stiffer when the

pressure inside the hose increases, as shown in Figure 3(b). Therefore,

the empirical load deflection curve of the hose measured under working

internal pressure shall be used for the final design.

Hose Layouts. The calculation was repeated for two hoses of dif-

ferent axial rigidity. One is the highly stretchable Navy hose described

in the previous section. The other is a rigid hose of a very little

stretchability. Hoses that were 7.5 and 9.5 inches in outside diameter

were used. The segment lengths of 200, 500, 1,000, and 2,000 feet were

included in the calculation. The segment length in combination with

different span distance between anchors results in various S/L ratios

from 1.05, 1.10, 1.15, and 1.20.

Environmental Conditions. The hoseline stability was calculated

for the currents approaching from 0, 15, and 30 degrees off the per-

pendicular to the general direction of the hoseline. Six different

21

Page 27: LATERAL STABILITY OF A FLEXIBLE

current speeds in the 0.5- to 4-knot range were used for each current

direction. The hydrodynamic coefficients for a submarine flowline vary

significantly from case to case. Their values depend on the experiment

setup, model scale, current condition, data acquisition procedure, and

data reduction method. Generally, these force coefficients are valid

only for conditions similar to those for which they were measured. The

inline drag coefficients used in the contemporary engineering practice

vary from 0.75 to 1.40. The transverse drag coefficients vary from 0.6

to 1.0. The low values were empirical data measured in 37 feet of water

offshore Honolulu (Ref 10), whereas the high values were recommended by

Det Norske Veritas for designing a submarine pipeline system (Ref 11).

Both sets are for.steel or concrete coated steel pipes. Data for

synthetic rubber hoses are not available. However, practical hoses are

much smaller than the thickness of the boundary layer of the water cur-

rent, and are therefore fully submerged in the boundary layer. Con-

sequently, the actual current velocity experienced by the hoses is

smaller than that of the free stream. Using the lower force coeffi-

cients in combination with the free stream velocity seems to be more

realistic. Navy hoseline is a relocatable system intended for worldwide

application. The system may be installed on various types of sea bot-

toms. Field data show that the typical Coulomb friction coefficient for

a steel or concrete pipe on a hard sandy seabed varies from 0.3 to 0.9

(Ref 5). A low friction coefficient of 0.3, which will result in higher

loads, was used in the calculation. The hose particulars and the en-

vironmental conditions are summarized in Table 1.

Results

A total of eight design charts (Tables 2 through 5) were prepared

for various hose rigidities, hose particulars, and current conditions.

The results for the rigid hose (Tables 2 and 3) were further reduced

into a parametric model, Equations 23 through 26, using the findings

obtained from the parametric analysis as a guideline. The parametric

model is compared with the complete simulation model in Figure 12. The

22

Engineering Applications

ACP Hose. The stability of the Advanced Collapsible Pipe hose can

be evaluated directly by using the design charts. It is assumed that a

6-inch ACP hose is to be installed in a uniform 2-knot cross current.

The outside diameter of the hose is approximately 7.5 inches. It is

further assumed that the system is to be installed at an initial (or

unstretched) segment length-to-span ratio of 1.05. The anchor capacity

23

Page 29: LATERAL STABILITY OF A FLEXIBLE

required to hold a hose segment of various lengths against a 2-knot

broadside current can be obtained from Table 3 under the column labelled

with '0 degree' and 'Anchor load.' Columns (1) and (2) give the current

loads at the end and the intermediate anchors, respectively. For example,

the minimum holding capacity of the anchor at the end of a 1,000-foot

segment can be obtained from the row labelled with S/L = 1.05, Length =

1000, and V = 2.0. The results are 3.2 and 4.2 kips for the end and the

intermediate anchor, respectively. As a matter of fact, there is more

than one way to anchor a hoseline. Final selection requires a trade-off

analysis taking into consideration of the strength of the hose, the

lateral deflection, the holding capacity of the anchors, the installa-

tion requirements, and the operation costs, etc.

Other Hoses. The stability of other hoses, whose axial rigidities

are substantially different than those of the ACP hose, may be deter-

mined by iteration using the design charts for the rigid hose along with

the empirical load deflection relation of the hose under consideration.

The iteration procedure includes four simple steps: (1) determine the

hose tension from the proper design chart for the rigid hose using the

initial (unstretched) S/L ratio and other given parameters, (2) deter-

mine the elongation, e, associated with that tension from the empirical

load deflection relation, and (3) calculate the new S/L ratio by multi-

plying the old S/L by (1+E). Then, (4) use the new S/L ratio and repeat

steps 1 to 3 until the tension load comes within desired tolerance. For

example, the stability of the ACP hose demonstrated in the previous para-

graph can also be determined using the design charts for rigid hoses.

Step 1: Entering Table 2 with S/L = 1.05, V = 2.0, S = 1,000, and 0 = 0

degree, the tension load is 4.5 kips. Step 2: Interpolating from Figure

3, the elongation of the hose under 4.5 kips tension is 7 percent. Step

3: The new S/L ratio is therefore equal to 1.12. Repeating steps 1 to 3

with the new S/L ratio, the second iteration gives a tension of 2.8 kips

and a elongation of 5 percent. The third iteration gives a tension of

3.1 kips and an elongation of 5 percent, which are within the accuracy

of the design charts. Therefore, the equilibrium S/L ratio of the seg-

ment is 1.05 X (1+0.05) = 1.10. The loads at the end and the intermediate

24

Page 30: LATERAL STABILITY OF A FLEXIBLE

anchors are determined from Table 1, with S/L = 1.10 and S = 1,050 feet,

as 3.2 and 4.2 kips, respectively. The results are identical with those

obtained directly from the design charts for ACP hoses. Furthermore,

the stability of a rigid hose can also be determined from the parametric

model, Equations 23 through 26. Equation 24 is used in place of design

charts for estimating the tension loads, and Equations 23, 25, and 26

are used to determined the lateral deflection and the anchor loads. The

iteration procedure remains the same.

CONCLUSIONS

1. The lateral stability of a flexible submarine hoseline on the sea-

floor in a slowly varying current environment may be properly simulated

based on the Morison equation and a nonlinear cable theory. Stability

can be evaluated in terms of anchor load, axial tension, and maximum

lateral deflection of the hoseline.

2. The on-bottom behavior of the hoseline is most influenced by the

following factors: the equilibrium curved shape of the hose segment,

the size of hose, the current velocity, and the axial rigidity of the

hose. The influence of the sea bottom resistance is negligible from a

design point of view.

3. The equilibrium curved shape of a hose segment, which may be repre-

sented by the segment length-to-span ratio, S/L, is the most dominant

factor on the response of a hoseline. The influence of S/L on the

responses is illustrated in Figure 10. The results show that a tight

hose segment with a small S/L ratio will experience large current loads

with small lateral deflection, and that a loose hose with a large S/L

ratio will experience a smaller current load, but with a much larger

lateral deflection. A proper S/I, ratio has to be selected according to

the capacity of anchors, the strength of the hose, and the operational

requirements. A ratio between 1.05 and 1.10 is recommended for

practical applications based on the results of a parametric analysis.

25

Page 31: LATERAL STABILITY OF A FLEXIBLE

4. At a constant equilibrium S/L ratio, the load is proportional to the

hose size, the hydrodynamic coefficients, and the span distance, and is

closely proportional to the normal current velocity squared.

5. The axial rigidity influenced the elongation of a hose segment, and

hence the equilibrium S/L ratio. The influence is significant for a

tight stretchable hose segment deployed in a fast current, and is negli-

gible for other cases such as a loose hose of little to moderate stretch-

ability deployed in a slow current.

6. The optimum segment geometry of a simple hoseline may be determined

by iteration using the design charts provided in Tables 2 to 5 or the

parametric model described by Equations 23 to 26. The iteration

procedures are demonstrated in the section on Engineering Applications.

The simulation program, NCELHOSE, is recommended for the analysis of a

more complicated hoseline. The source code and assistance to use the

program are available at NCEL.

NUMERICAL SOLUTION TECHNIQUES

A.1 NEWTON-RAPHSON QUASI-LINEARIZATION

Given a coupled set of nonlinear first-order differential

equations, it is possible to develop a convergence acceleration

procedure (Ref A-i) of successive iteration upon quasi-linear equations

adopting methods proposed by Bellman (Ref A-2) and by Klaba (Ref A-3).

Assume a set of 2N nonlinear first-order differential equations:

dyi- = fi(s'Yi) i,j = 1,2,...,2N (A.1.1)

with N boundary condition at the starting end s = 0

0gm(y) = 0 m = 1,2,...,N (A.l.2a)

and N boundary conditions at the terminating end S = 1,

hm(yl) = 0 m = 1,2,...,N (A.l.2b)

where S is the independent variable (e.g., hose arc length), y, are the

2N dependent variables (e.g., tension components and location coordinates),

f (s,yj) are nonlinear functions of yj (e.g., hydrodynamic forcing func-

0 1 0tions), and g m(y) and h m(Y.) are nonlinear combinations of y. at s = 0,

1and of y at s 1, respectively.

Let y. denote a trial solution vector in the neighborhood of the

true solution vector yj. The y 0 and y i are corresponding boundary

values of yj at s = 0 and s = 1, respectively. The nonlinear function

fi(s,yj), gm(y?), and fm(y) can be written as truncated Taylor series

expansions about yj', y ' and y ' as:

A-1

Page 53: LATERAL STABILITY OF A FLEXIBLE

f i(syj) = fi(s,y') + Jik(Yk - yk) i,j,k = 1,2,...,2N (A.1.3)

0 0, 0 0 O,mY = gmYj ) + Yk )

hm(Y5) h 1 1 1tm = hm(Yj ) + Jmk(Yk - k ) m-

where the summation conversion from 1 to 2N on repeated indices has been

adopted, Jik is the square Jacobian matrix of order 2Nx2N for the

gradient of the nonlinear forcing function:

= [fi(s,Yi)] (A.1.4)

0 1n jS0 and mk are the rectangular Jacobian matrices of order Nx2N for

the gradients of the nonlinear boundary conditions:

0= A 0i (A.1.5)8O k 0jOyO

(y.Ia

y I "

J 1 J = MLL (A.1.6)ajl = itmkk y y

Upon substitution of Equations A.1.3 and A.1.4 into Equation A.1.1

and A.1.2, the boundary-value problem can thus be written as:

dy - a + bi(s) (A..7)

with boundary conditions

%0 0 + d 0 (A.l.8a)mk Ymk m=

A-2

Page 54: LATERAL STABILITY OF A FLEXIBLE

ck Ymk +d = 0 (A.1.8b)

where ak = ik (A.1.9a)

bi = f1(s'Y.) " J. yk (A.1.9b)1 ~ 'i 1 ik k

0, 0 0,= g (Y. ) " m (A.1.9d)

m m j mkk

1 (A.1.9e)Cmk mk

m h -mk Yk (A.1.9f)

Equation A.1.7 with boundary conditions A.1.8 and coefficients defined

by A.1.9 constitutes a linear boundary value problem for an improved

solution yj in terms of functions for the previous trial h'. Further

improved solutions are obtained by successive iteration in Equations

A.1.5 to A.1.9 with yt, y , and yl, replaced by the y4, Yis yi gen-i I L

erated by the previous iteration. The iteration process continues until

the difference between y. and y. is less than a stipulated accuracy.

A.2 DECOMPOSITION OF LINEAR BOUNDARY-VALUE PROBLEM

A linear two-point boundary-value problem such as that posed by

Equations A.1.7 and A.1.8 can be solved by first decomposing the problem

into a set of initial-value problems and then recombining solutions to

each initial-value problem (Ref A-4, A-5, A-6). The advantage of using

this method for solving a two-point boundary-value problem rather than

a different method is that large sets of matrix equation coefficients

need not be generated, stored in the computer mem.,ry, and solved simul-

taneously. Only a small number of coefficients at the starting and

terminating points need to be considered. According to Ince (Ref A-7),

the solution to each one of a linear set of 2N first-order differential

equations can be considered as a linear combination of the solutions of

N+1 initial-value problems, hereafter called partial solutions.

A-3

Page 55: LATERAL STABILITY OF A FLEXIBLE

Assume the solutions to Equation A.1.7 can be written as:

Y =z0+ e z n(A.2.1)i n i

0 nwhere e n = 1,2,..., N are undetermined parameters and zi and zi are

partial solutions. The partial solution zi is the particular solution

to:

0dzi 0

ds - aik zk + bi (A.2.2a)

subject to actual "initial" conditions at s = 0

co zO0 + do = 0 (A.2.2b)ink k in

and fictitious "initial" conditions at s = 0

cO zO0 + dO0 = 0 (A.2.2c)ink k in

n

The partial solutions zi, n = 1,2,...,N are homogeneous solutions to

dz nds ik zk n = 1,2,...,N (A.2.3a)

subject to actual "initial" conditions at s = 0

comk zOn = 0 n = 1,2,...,N (A.2.3b)

and fictitious "initial" conditions at s = 0

cO z0n + dOn = 0 n = 1,2,...,N (A.2.3c)

ink k in

The choice of fictitious initial conditions coefficients cOk, dOO,

dOn is such that don are linearly independent vectors and cO is a

rectangular Nx2N matrix of coefficients which allows an inverse of the

assembled 2Nx2N square matrix Cjk of initial value coefficients:

_ COki1c I .mk j,k = 1,2,... ,2N (A.2.4)jk = [COmk] m = 1,2,...,N

A-4

Page 56: LATERAL STABILITY OF A FLEXIBLE

to obtain solutions for zO0 and zOn as:k k

ZOO = C - (A.2.5)k jk do]

zOn = C (A.2.6)k 0jk

The dOn are usually taken as Kronecker delta functions and dOn as a nullm m

vector.

Having defined N+l linearly independent initial-value problems,

each of which satisfies the actual boundary conditions at s = 0, one

integrates each problem to the terminating point, s = 1. The partial

solutions obtained at the terminating point are then used to determine

the appropriate parameters, en, in Equation A.2.1 for the linear com-

bination of partial solutions. The boundary conditions expressed by

Equation A.l.8b at s = 1 can be written in terms of partial solutions

as:

cl (zl +e = 0 (A.2.7)

where zl0 and zlk are the terminal values of the partial solutions. The

product ClmkZ1 is a square NxN matrix and thus,

e en = "[clk.]l dl + clk Z1k (A.2.8)

With en determined, a final initial-value integration of Equation A.l.7

can be performed with initial values:

yOk = zOk + en zOk (A.2.9)

The hose is madeof multilayer elastomeric material fortified with two-ply contra-helicalwire reinforcements to withstand the external tension loads. The hosestretches to almost 45 percent of its original length at fracture(Figure 3 in main text). In the meantime, the outside diameter of thehose reduces 40 percent. This significant size reduction tends to shutdown the fuel flow and totally disable the hoseline. Research for hoseconstruction techniques to control the hose neck-down is currentlyunderway, which will be addressed in the final project documentation ofthe Advanced Collapsible Pipe Program. This analysis is to examine thechange in the inner diameter of the hose under tension. Elastomer isgenerally treated as an incompressible material. Its total volume doesnot change when subjected to external forces (Ref B-l). Referring tothe definition sketch, Figure B-1, the total volume of the hose wall, V,can be expressed as:

V =H D t

in which D = (D + Di)/2

where D = outer diameterD = inner diameteriD = mean diametert = wall thickness of the hose

= total length of the hose

Since the elastomer is assumed incompressible,

AV _ AD At At = 0 (B-)

V D t I

where A is the differential.- t and assuming that D >> t:

Replacing the mean diameter D with D 0 t

D = D -t0

Substitution .AD/D into Equation B-I and neglecting the second order termAt/D o,

At [ t D o+ (1 + W)(B-2)t I D0 0

Therefore, the variation of the wall thickness under tension can beexpressed in terms of the elongation and the outer diameter reduction ofthe hose. Table B-i summarizes the results of Equation B-2 using theempirical data shown in Figure 3 in the main text. The far right columnshows that the variation in the wall thickness is less than 6 percent,even though the outer diameter of the hose reduces more than 40percent. This result implies that a substantial reduction occurs in theinner diameter.
