Hi
Key: Admin, Global Mod,
Member in one of my offshore platform project the client is asking to do blast Mod
analysis with cd=1.5 (shape factor)

Loc: singapore
for wind also they ask to put cd=1 1 2 3
but for the pipe mostly it will be 0.6-0.7 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
11 12 13 14 15 16 17
give me some suggestions

Posts: 13 Blast drag coefficient can as high as 10. This is possible when low
Loc: Norway reynold number acheived. But blast loads generally significant, where
reynolds number of fluid is quite high. Again depend on reynolds
number/Mach no. to could go upto 3. Not to add more ambiquity, i
have been working in offshore for last 3 years and practice followed by
companies is drag coefficient factor of 0.67 and DLF of 1.5 to 1.67.
The product of drag coefficient and DLF is 0.67 * 1.5 = 1 or 1.1 are
given as input in CAESAR.

You may read DNV-RP-D101, there is a good guidance. It is available

on internet for free. Just use google to find location of DNV report.

Member I was working too on this and DNV asked for a CD=1.1 and DLF=1.5,
therefore product was 1.65. At that time DNV-RP-D101 was not yet

I haven't seen consideration for "blast loads" in any of the Equipment
Member Codes. However, this does not mean that this condition shouldn't be
checked. This is something you'll have to discuss with the owner.
