Overview

Randomized trial establishes a new model to improve predictions of subsea pipeline-soil interactions, suggesting enhanced accuracy in design.

Key Points

  • This research aims to develop a more accurate model for predicting thermal interactions between subsea pipelines and surrounding soil.
  • Developed a two-dimensional axisymmetric thermo-hydro-mechanical coupled model for pipeline-soil system.
  • Introduced a general thermal contact model to assess interfacial thermal resistance effects.
  • Utilized semi-analytical solutions based on Laplace transforms and separation of variables.
  • The general thermal contact model better describes THM coupling characteristics with a significant radial temperature gradient at the interface.
  • Thermal resistance effects lead to slightly increased axial temperature differences within the pipeline.
  • Increased thermal resistance coefficient reduces deformation compatibility of the pipeline-soil system.
