Grants and Contributions:
Title:
Field Validation of Cavitating Anchor Drag Improvements
Agreement Number:
1043033
Agreement Value:
$74,995.00
Agreement Date:
May 1, 2026 - Jan 31, 2027
Description:
Field-validate the dynamics of cavitation of water vapour around an anchor body and quantify its effect on hydrodynamic drag reduction. Lower anchor drag will result in deeper and therefore stronger subsea anchorages in a lighter more compact anchor, reducing offshore construction time, risk, cost, and environmental impact.
