The differential quadrature method (DQM) is a numerical technique widely applied in structure mechanics problems. In this work, a top-tensioned riser conveying fluid is considered. The governing equation of this riser under parametric excitations is deduced. Through Galerkin’s method, the partial differential governing equation with respect to time t and vertical coordinate z is reduced into a 1D differential equation with respect only to time. Moreover, the DQM is applied to discretize the governing equation to give solution schemes for the risers’ parametric vibration problem. Furthermore, the instability region of Mathieu equation is studied by both the DQM and the Floquet theory to verify the effectiveness of the DQM, and the solutions of both methods show good consistency. After that, the influences of some factors such as damping coefficient, internal flow velocity, and wet-weight coefficient on the parametric instability of a top-tensioned riser are discussed through investigating the instability regions solved by the DQM solution scheme. Hence, conclusions are obtained that the increase of damping coefficient will save the riser from parametric resonance while increasing internal flow velocity, or the wet-weight coefficient will deteriorate the parametric instability of the riser. Finally, the time-domain responses of several specific cases in both stable region and unstable region are presented.
