Flow induced vibration reduction

Flow induced vibration reduction

A method and apparatus are disclosed for reducing flow induced vibration in at least one subsea structure. The method comprises the steps of, via at least one subsea acoustic sensor (190), detecting at least one characteristic associated with acoustic energy in sea water proximate to the sensor (190...

Zusammenfassung:A method and apparatus are disclosed for reducing flow induced vibration in at least one subsea structure. The method comprises the steps of, via at least one subsea acoustic sensor (190), detecting at least one characteristic associated with acoustic energy in sea water proximate to the sensor (190), responsive to the detected characteristic, varying at least one operational parameter of a fluid flowing along a fluid flow pathway associated with a pipe member (160).
