In subsea forced oscillations, the hydrodynamic coefficients provide a measure of the influence of the added mass and damping components in the total hydrodynamic force. They determine whether a given deployment maneuver is within its operating window, so their correct estimate represents safety and economy during subsea equipment installation. Standards provide recommended practices for obtaining such coefficients, but generally, the methods employed do not yield the same values, which is not desirable. The purpose of this article is to present a review of the different methods available and also assess them to obtain the most appropriate candidates for obtaining the added mass and drag coefficients. Starting from Morison’s Equation Model, three methods – Fourier Series Analysis, Least Square Method Integral Formulation, Least Square Method Linear System, are revisited and later tested against synthetic force and displacement data; in addition to their capability of predicting Morison’s Equation, they are also tested in the presence of disturbances such as the inclusion of white noise and undesirable additional harmonics. Later, they are compared against experimental data that are a function of the Keulegan-Carpenter number. The results show which methods are the most appropriate to represent a body oscillating under the assumption of Morison’s Force Equation.In subsea forced oscillations, the hydrodynamic coefficients provide a measure of the influence of the added mass and damping components in the total hydrodynamic force.
