As mentioned earlier, the effective axial load is a fictitious load except for a single point in a case chain that is at the very top of the chain. So why is anyone using it? Most likely because it`s so simple, but more troubling is the possibility that they don`t understand what it is. As for its simplicity, yes, but consider a case where the liquid in the case is different from the liquid in the ring. How does this affect our simple buoyancy factor equation above? Clearly, the effective axial load is not useful to determine the axial load in the design of the case because it does not give us the axial load! Is there any advantage to the effective axial load? The answer is categorically yes. It is used to determine the neutral stability point for lateral buckling in pipe chains. It has been used correctly for many years to calculate the length of drill sleeves needed to prevent lateral buckling in the drill tube. We will discuss lateral buckling in Chapter 6 and reread Appendix A for a more detailed discussion of buoyancy. Imagine a cuboid immersed in a liquid whose top and bottom are orthogonal to the direction of gravity (assuming it is constant over the deformation of the cube). The liquid exerts a normal force on any surface, but only the normal forces above and below contribute to buoyancy.
The pressure difference between the bottom and the top is directly proportional to the height (difference in immersion depth). By multiplying the pressure difference by the area of a face, one obtains a net force on the cuboid – buoyancy – equal in size to the weight of the liquid displaced by the cuboid. By the sum of a sufficient number of arbitrarily small cuboids, this argument can be extended to irregular shapes, and therefore the buoyancy force is equal to the weight of the displaced liquid, regardless of the shape of the submerged body. Pay close attention to the orientation of our coordinate system, as we have adopted the practical system mentioned above for our use in drilling calculations, and it seems to be the reverse of what we are used to seeing; That is, the z-axis is positive downwards. The angle θ is measured counterclockwise from the positive z-axis. As the pressure varies on the pipe surface, the force due to the pressure at the end of the pipe is the integrated pressure on the pipe surface: ρ, g and V are the density, the acceleration due to gravity and the volume of water. Particle volumes can be determined directly by Archimedes` principle, which compares the weight of a particle measured in water with that measured in air (Hughes, 2005). However, this technique is only convenient for particles the size of a lapilli and is best suited for non-porous materials. Another method for measuring lapili-sized particles is gas(He) pycnometry, which is commonly used for density measurements and is based on the gas displacement principle (e.g., Klug et al., 2002). For uncoated porous particles, Archimedes-based methods and gas pycnometers measure skeletal volume, i.e. the volume of the particles, without taking into account isolated internal vesicles.
More advanced methods for direct volume measurements include laser and 3D CT scanners, which can provide very detailed information about the size and shape of individual particles. Laser scanners can reconstruct the outer shell of a 3D particle surface at a given resolution (e.g. 400 dots per square inch with a resolution of 100 μm for the NextEngine 3D scanner). CT scanners use X-rays to create shadow projections of the particle onto an X-ray-sensitive camera and reconstruct 2D CT sections of particles and 3D models, which also contain information about the internal structure of the particle (Bagheri et al., 2015). The main disadvantages are that laser scanners and 3D CT scans are not widely available, have resolution limitations, and require significant pre- and post-processing time to create a 3D model of the particle (Bagheri et al., 2015). The term “rigid polyurethane foam” includes two types of polymers: polyisocyanurate formulations and polyurethane formulations. There are distinct differences between the two, both in how they are achieved and in their final performance. When an object is immersed in a liquid, the liquid exerts an upward force called buoyancy force, which is proportional to the weight of the liquid being moved. The total force acting on the object is therefore equal to the difference between the weight of the object (“descending force”) and the weight of the displaced liquid (“upward force”). Neutral equilibrium or buoyancy is achieved when these two weights (and therefore these two forces) are equal.

They are produced in large quantities with densities between 1.8 and 6 pounds per cubic foot and are relatively inexpensive. Their rigid and brittle consistency and tendency to dust abrasion (brittleness) can be used to identify these foams. The density of air is very low compared to most solids and liquids. For this reason, the weight of an object in air is roughly equal to its actual weight in a vacuum. Air buoyancy is neglected for most objects when measured in air because the error is usually insignificant (usually less than 0.1%, except for objects with very low medium density such as a balloon or light foam). The relationship between βB and βA can be determined by comparing equation (2.9) with equation (2.26) for the case of zero velocity gradient, weightlessness and zero wall friction. The difference between these equations is porosity, which multiplies the pressure gradient in the model where the pressure drop is in the gaseous and solid phases. Alternatively, βB can be obtained directly from the Ergun equation (2.10).
A similar bypass for Model C shows that the friction coefficients are the same for Model B and Model C. Example: If you drop wood into the water, buoyancy keeps it afloat. Relationship between Archimedes` principle and the law of hovering Any object totally or partially immersed in a liquid or liquid is supported by a force equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the object. From: The Maritime Engineering Reference Book, 2008 “When a solid body floats or is immersed in a liquid, the liquid exerts an upward pushing force—a buoyancy force—on the body equivalent to the gravitational force on the fluid displaced by the body.” Ted G. Byrom, in Tubage and Liners for Drilling and Completion, 2007 Polyisocyanurate foams (or “trimer foams”) are generally low-density insulating foams usually produced in large blocks by a continuous extrusion process. These blocks are then passed through cutting machines to make sheets and other shapes. ROV manufacturers typically cut, shape, and grind these inexpensive foams and then coat them with a fiberglass coating or a thick coat of paint to ensure resistance to abrasion and water intrusion.
