Abstract

Pipe-in-pipe (PIP) structures are widely used in offshore oil and gas pipelines to settle thermal insulation issues. A PIP structure system usually consists of two concentric pipes and one softer layer for thermal insulation consideration. The total response of the system is related to the dynamics of both pipes and the interactions between these two concentric pipes. In the current work, a theoretical model for flow-induced vibrations of a PIP structure system is proposed and analyzed in the presence of an internal axial flow and an external cross flow. The interactions between the two pipes are modeled by a linear distributed damper, a linear distributed spring and a nonlinear distributed spring along the pipe length. The unsteady hydrodynamic forces due to cross flow are modeled by two distributed van der Pol wake oscillators. The nonlinear partial differential equations for the two pipes and the wake are further discretized by the aid of Galerkin’s technique, resulting in a set of ordinary differential equations. These ordinary differential equations are further numerically solved by using a fourth-order Runge–Kutta integration algorithm. Phase portraits, bifurcation diagrams, an Argand diagram and oscillation shape diagrams are plotted, showing the existence of a lock-in phenomenon and figure-of-eight trajectory. The PIP system subjected to cross flow displays some interesting dynamical behaviors different from that of a single-pipe structure.
