Traditional design practices for offshore pipelines attempt to ensure stability along the entire pipeline system. In shallow water, the standard practice requires the burial of pipeline systems resulting in increased construction costs from trenching…
There are many ways to produce pseudo-random computer simulations of random functions correlated in space and/or time. The simulation mathematics may be performed in time and space domains or in the corresponding frequency domains. In either case,…
Reports on the results of a series of model tests investigating the hydrodynamic forces acting on a pipeline which is undergoing lateral motions on the sea bed. The model test program and the results are included. The report also includes a…
The state-of-the-art in Pipeline stability design has been changing very rapidly recently. The physics governing on-bottom stability are much better understood now than they were eight years ago. This is due largely because of research and large…

Describes the sensor systems used to gather subsea boundary layer ocean current behavior. Includes the description of gathering two data sets: offshore California and Washington.
The development of an offshore pipeline stability model that includes combined wave and current interaction, moveable bed effects, stratification due to temperature and salinity, stratification due to suspended sediment, and planetary rotation.
