Description

Submarine pipeline suspended span and buckling deformation underwater detection device and detection method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of underwater detection, in particular to underwater detection equipment and a detection method for submarine pipeline suspended span and buckling deformation, and belongs to the field of marine engineering disaster reduction and prevention.
Background
Submarine pipelines are widely applied to marine oil and gas transportation and electric power transmission and are known as marine life lines. The safe operation of the subsea pipeline directly affects the safe transportation of marine resources.
However, the submarine pipelines are in a complex environment, and on one hand, due to wave washing and complex seabed geological conditions, the submarine pipelines often form free suspension spans with different lengths. In the yellow river delta area, for 10m underwater, within 15 years of the design life of a submarine pipeline, the integral scouring depth of a seabed can reach 0.7m, the suspension span length of the submarine pipeline is 3-40m, some pipelines even reach 60-70m, and the suspension height is 0.5-3.0m, so that the problem of pipeline suspension span caused by seabed erosion is very serious. The stress state of the pipeline is changed by the suspension span of the pipeline, and the pipeline is damaged by large bending moment generated by the action of environmental loads such as wave flow and the like and the self weight of the pipeline; hydrodynamic forces act to cause vortex-induced vibration of the pipeline, causing fatigue failure of the pipeline. On the other hand, under the action of factors such as temperature, pressure, configuration defects, wave flow, seabed sediment conditions and the like, the submarine pipeline generates a total buckling phenomenon. The total buckling deformation includes lateral buckling and bump buckling. Lateral buckling often causes local buckling, fatigue damage and the like of the submarine pipeline; buckling causes the pipeline to be exposed on the seabed, increasing the risk of the pipeline being damaged. The general buckling phenomenon has serious consequences for the integrity and safety of marine pipelines.
In order to ensure the safety of the submarine pipeline, the development of the pipeline suspension and buckling phenomenon needs to be mastered. At present, the observation technical means aiming at the suspended span of the submarine pipeline mainly comprises a diver detection technology, a geophysical prospecting investigation technology and the like. The geophysical prospecting investigation technology mainly adopts instruments such as a multi-beam sounding system, a shallow stratum profiler and a side scan sonar to implement operation, but the use cost is higher and the data analysis difficulty is high; divers have high detection risk and high cost and are not suitable for deep sea. Therefore, the submarine pipeline scouring three-dimensional shape detection technology with wide application range, high precision and strong economy needs to be researched. The buckling deformation of the pipeline is mainly detected by adopting a buckling detector, an ROV/AUV shooting and sensor carrying. The buckling detector has the risks of being clamped, breaking a traction steel wire rope, disassembling the buckling detector and the like; ROV/AUV detection needs multi-sensor cooperative detection, and detection accuracy is greatly influenced by an interpretation method of an acoustic image. Therefore, it is necessary to research a submarine pipeline detection device and method with simple operation, high precision and good safety.
Chinese patent application No. 201922231812.8 discloses a subsea pipeline real-time safety monitoring and diagnostic system. The method comprises the steps of laying an optical cable along the existing pipeline, installing a sound sensor on the optical cable, monitoring leakage of the submarine pipeline and ships close to the pipeline, and monitoring suspension, displacement or damage of the pipeline by using the characteristic that the optical fiber vibrates due to loss of soil support. This method does not cause damage to the subsea pipeline, but is not applicable in the case of bare pipelines.
Chinese patent application No. 201510695307.2 discloses an active monitoring system and method for submarine pipeline suspended span vortex-induced vibration. The method monitors the suspended span of the submarine pipeline by monitoring vortex-induced vibration information, and only transmits information when vortex-induced vibration occurs, so that the monitoring efficiency is improved. The method has the disadvantages of more complicated data processing and higher difficulty.
