迎浪角及波浪周期对张力腿平台响应的影响分析

利用WAMIT软件结合自编数据处理程序,以一典型多柱式张力腿平台为例,计算了迎浪角及波浪周期变化情况下该平台的艏摇幅值及水平方向响应极大值。计算结果表明:张力腿平台的低频率响应较为显著;迎浪角的变化对多柱式张力腿平台高频响应影响较大,而对其低频响应影响较为微弱。

Effects of volumetric allocation on heave response of semisubmersible in deep sea

The configuration of semisubmersibles consisting of pontoons and columns and their corresponding heave motion response in incident progressive waves are examined. The purpose of the present study is to provide a theoretical approach to estimating the effects of volumetric allocation on natural period and response amplitude operator (RAO) in heave motion. We conclude that the amplitude of heave motion response can be considerably suppressed by appropriately adjusting volumetric allocation so that the natural heave period keeps away from the range of wave energy. The theoretical formulae are found in good agreement with the corresponding computational results by WAMIT.
