| Estimated Completion |
December 1999,
Phase 1 |
| Description |
This JIP conducted large scale model tests on different configurations of HCR risers. While there were already several riser analysis software programs available to industry that address the computational requirements needed for HCR analysis, there was little model or full scale test data that validates these programs. Phase II included some additional evaluation of the test results and was funded by other entities. |
| Progress |
Large scale model tests of HCR risers were
conducted at a Naval test facility at Lake Pend Oreille in northern Idaho
(August 1998). Since that time, work has been ongoing to validate riser
analysis software programs. |
