This report presents a number of newly added features to the OBS software relevant to the dynamic simulation of pipelines. The additions include a function to extract on-bottom wave induced velocities and hydrodynamic forces on a given length of pipeline with arbitrary distribution of the nodes; a new dynamic simulation module to perform dynamic simulations for a single pipe node; two new soil models including the Verley and Sotberg for sand as well as a custom soil model as per the approach recommended in DNV-RP-F114. The added soil models are implemented in the dynamic solver, which provide ...
This report presents a number of newly added features to the OBS software relevant to the dynamic simulation of pipelines. The additions include a function to extract on-bottom wave induced velocities and hydrodynamic forces on a given length of pipeline with arbitrary distribution of the nodes; a new dynamic simulation module to perform dynamic simulations for a single pipe node; two new soil models including the Verley and Sotberg for sand as well as a custom soil model as per the approach recommended in DNV-RP-F114. The added soil models are implemented in the dynamic solver, which provide full dynamic simulation of pipelines in two dimensions.
