Abstract

Submarine pipelines are the main transport carriers of marine resources. In order to protect these pipelines, geotextile and stone covering measures are adopted in this paper and the protective effect is studied. A sequence of physical model tests was conducted to carry out the research. The hydrodynamic characteristics and seabed oscillation response of the seabed surrounding the pipeline were analyzed with or without geotextile and stone cover protection, and it was found that they were affected by waves (and currents). The experimental results show the following: (1) comparing the regular wave and current with the regular wave alone, it is found that forward current promotes wave propagation and reverse current inhibits wave propagation; (2) the protective effect of geotextile and stone covering measures on different positions of the pipeline (the front, the bottom, and the back of the pipe) is basically same; (3) in the case of waves with large wave heights and long wave periods superimposed with ocean currents, the protective effect of geotextile and stone coverings on the hydrodynamic and seabed pore pressure around the pipeline is more significant.
