半潜式平台气隙数值预报

气隙预报是半潜平台设计过程中要考虑的关键问题之一.以一座250 m水深半潜式钻井平台为例,对其在5种海况下的气隙响应进行了数值计算,并与相应的模型试验相比较.从比较结果可以看出,一阶数值计算和Stokes二阶统计修正的结果均低估了相对波面升高的极值,且波陡越大,低估越严重.但是,它可以较好地预报危险点的位置,因此,可以用来在进行模型试验之前确定探针的布置位置和试验浪向.

半潜式平台垂向运动低频响应特性

对半潜式平台垂向运动性能(包括垂荡、横摇和纵摇)进行数值计算分析。与模型试验结果的比较表明,对于半潜式平台这类由柱体组成的结构物进行水动力数值预报,忽略粘性力作用会使得低频运动响应计算结果产生偏差,需要应用三维势流理论和Morison公式相结合的方法。横摇和纵摇运动固有频率均低于波浪频率,在波浪慢漂力作用下会出现显著低频运动响应。垂荡运动是否出现低频响应则与所处海况联系紧密。     

深海平台试验中水深截断系泊缆动力特性对比分析

在深海平台混合模型试验中,采用大截断比水深截断系泊缆模拟全水深系泊缆的静力和动力特性具有很大的难度.以工作在1 500 m水深的Spar平台系泊系统为例,对比分析5种大截断比水深截断系泊缆的动力特性,研究缆绳轴向刚度、直径和单位长度空气中质量对水深截断系泊缆动力特性的影响规律.认为这三个因素对水深系泊缆的动力响应影响并不是孤立的,需要合理地选取三者的参数,才能使得水深截断系泊缆的动力响应与全水深系泊缆保持一致.     

An Oscillating Wave Energy Converter with Nonlinear Snap-Through Power-Take-Off Systems in Regular Waves

Floating oscillating bodies constitute a large class of wave energy converters, especially for offshore deployment. Usually the Power-Take-Off (PTO) system is a directly linear electric generator or a hydraulic motor that drives an electric generator. The PTO system is simplified as a linear spring and a linear damper. However the conversion is less powerful with wave periods off resonance. Thus, a nonlinear snap-through mechanism with two symmetrically oblique springs and a linear damper is applied in the PTO system. The nonlinear snap-through mechanism is characteristics of negative stiffness and double-well potential. An important nonlinear parameter is defined as the ratio of half of the horizontal distance between the two springs to the original length of both springs. Time domain method is applied to the dynamics of wave energy converter in regular waves. And the state space model is used to replace the convolution terms in the time domain equation. The results show that the energy harvested by the nonlinear PTO system is larger than that by linear system for low frequency input. While the power captured by nonlinear converters is slightly smaller than that by linear converters for high frequency input. The wave amplitude, damping coefficient of PTO systems and the nonlinear parameter affect power capture performance of nonlinear converters. The oscillation of nonlinear wave energy converters may be local or periodically inter well for certain values of the incident wave frequency and the nonlinear parameter , which is different from linear converters characteristics of sinusoidal response in regular waves.

Investigation on the hydrodynamic performance of an ultra deep turret-moored FLNG system

Hydrodynamic performance of an ultra deep turret-moored Floating Liquefied Natural Gas(FLNG) system is investigated.Hydrodynamic modeling of a turret-moored FLNG system,in consideration of the coupling effects of the vessel and its mooring lines,has been addressed in details.Based on the boundary element method,a 3-D panel model of the FLNG vessel and the related free water surface model are established,and the first-order and second-order mean-drift wave loads and other hydrodynamic coefficients are calculated.A systematic model test program consisting of the white noise wave test,offset test and irregular wave test combined with current and wind,etc.is performed to verify the numerical model.Owing to the depth limit of the water basin,the model test is carried out for the hydrodynamics of the FLNG coupled with only the truncated mooring system.The numerical simulation model features well the hydrodynamic performance of the FLNG system obtained from the model tests.The hydrodynamic characteristics presented in both the numerical simulations and the physical model tests would serve as the guidance for the ongoing project of FLNG system.
