Fluid-solid interaction of resistance loss of flexible hose in deep ocean mining

The resistance loss of transportation was studied and the influences of buoyancy layout, mineral content and elastic modulus of flexible hose were investigated based on three-dimensional finite element model of fluid-solid interaction by MSC.MARC/MENTAT software. The numerical results show that the resistance losses increase with the increase of mineral content Cv and velocity of internal fluid v and decrease with the increase of elastic modulus E of flexible hose. The buoyancy layout and the velocity of internal fluid have greater impacts on the resistance losses than the elastic modulus of flexible hose. In order to reduce the resistance losses and improve the efficiency of the deep-ocean mining, Cv and v must be restricted in a suitable range (e.g. 10%–25% and 2.5–4 m/s). Effective buoyancy layout (such as Scheme C and D) should be adopted and the suitable material of moderate E should be used for the flexible hose in deep-ocean mining.
