Wave run-up on a fixed surface-piercing square column using multi-layer barrier

Steep or breaking waves may produce critical run-ups on a surface-piercing column, as represented by an unexpectedly high uprush, which has the potential of generating damaging localised wave-in-deck loads. Hence, to improve the air gap performance of offshore column-stabilised platforms, this paper proposes the mounting of an innovative multi-layer barrier on the column surface at a certain distance below the lower deck. Experiments were performed using a truncated square column to examine the performances of different versions of the barrier, namely, solid-plate, porous-plate, and intermittent-plate types, under four different focused waves. All the barrier types were found to obstruct and deflect uprush flow under storm conditions. However, the solid-plate type tended to experience considerable wave forces, with its impermeability also rendering the higher layers ineffective. The intermittent-plate type dissipated the uprush flow and decreased the wave impact, although it exhibited relatively strong flow disengaging, which decreased the efficiency under large wave run-ups. Conversely, the porous-plate type exhibited adequate performance, with a larger plate porosity and moderately high mounting elevation tending to improve the uprush obstruction performance and further decrease the wave slamming loads. A barrier with an appropriately designed plate porosity, number of layers, and mount elevation is expected to perform efficiently under severe sea states, providing protection for the lower deck against extreme wave run-ups.     

Numerical and Experimental Study on Hydrodynamic Performance of A Novel Semi-Submersible Concept

The Multiple Column Platform (MCP) semi-submersible is a newly proposed concept, which differs from the conventional semi-submersibles, featuring centre column and middle pontoon. It is paramount to ensure its structural reliability and safe operation at sea, and a rigorous investigation is conducted to examine the hydrodynamic and structural performance for the novel structure concept. In this paper, the numerical and experimental studies on the hydrodynamic performance of MCP are performed. Numerical simulations are conducted in both the frequency and time domains based on 3D potential theory. The numerical models are validated by experimental measurements obtained from extensive sets of model tests under both regular wave and irregular wave conditions. Moreover, a comparative study on MCP and two conventional semi-submersibles are carried out using numerical simulation. Specifically, the hydrodynamic characteristics, including hydrodynamic coefficients, natural periods and motion response amplitude operators (RAOs), mooring line tension are fully examined. The present study proves the feasibility of the novel MCP and demonstrates the potential possibility of optimization in the future study.     

Study on Vortex-Induced Motions of A New Type of Deep Draft Multi-Columns FDPSO

A numerical simulation and an experimental study on vortex-induced motion (VIM) of a new type of deep draft multi-columns floating drilling production, storage and offloading (FDPSO) are presented in this paper. The main dimension, the special variable cross-section column and the cabin arrangement of the octagonal pontoon are introduced based on the result. The numerical simulation is adapted to study the effects of current incidence angles and reduced velocities on this platform''s sway motion response. The 300 m water depth equivalent truncated mooring system is adopted for the model tests. The model tests are carried out to check the reliability of numerical simulation. The results consist of surge, sway and yaw motions, as well as motion trajectories. The maximum sway amplitudes for different types of offshore platform is also studied. The main results show that the peak frequencies of sway motion under different current incidence angles and reduced velocities vary around the natural frequency. The analysis result of flow field indicates that the change of distribution of vortex in vertical presents significant influences on the VIM of platform. The trend of sway amplitude ratio curve of this new type FDPSO differs from the other types of platform. Under 45° current incidence angle, the sway amplitude of this new type of FDPSO is much smaller than those of other types of offshore platform at 4.4 ≤ V_r ≤ 8.9. The typical ‘8’ shape trajectory does not appear in the platform''s motion trajectories.

破碎波浪砰击于导管架等海洋工程结构,产生瞬态强载荷及长时振动。高刚度金属结构可抵抗瞬时强载,但金属固有阻尼极低而难以有效抑制振动,从而加剧结构损伤乃至失效。为使单一结构同时具有高刚度和高阻尼,设计一种多稳态夹芯金属压杆,有限元模拟表明该类压杆稳态随循环载荷依序转换,对应刚度变化使力—位移间产生滞后关系,使高刚度金属压杆具有高效耗散能力;采用夹芯结构弹性理论和发展变边界结构稳定理论,给出了该类压杆的稳态转换阈值和刚度变化过程,与有限元模拟一致;以有限元模拟方法获得了承载和阻尼特性的几何参数相关性;以该类压杆替换导管架斜撑,用有限元方法模拟瞬态强载下结构振动,计算结果表明多稳态夹芯金属压杆保证导管架高刚度同时显著增强了阻尼。
