Designing a cold water pipe for a thirty year lifetime requires a throrough understanding of the flow/structure interaction during transportation, deployment and operation. Analytical models need to be developed for each phase, and tests must be conducted to verify the models. Analytical models for towing and deployment are described here along with scaling laws for the model tests. Further analytical model development will be pursued throughout the program.
