Abstract
In this study, the effect of a 10MW DTU wind turbine (WT) on a semi-submersible platform is examined from the point of view of its dynamic behaviour as part of a mooring system with attached buoys. The platform has a rectangular geometry, and consists of four offset and one main cylindrical members. The structure is assumed to receive both wave and wind loading simultaneously. A coupled analysis within the frequency domain is performed using two boundary element method software packages, NEMOH and HAMS. The results are presented in the form of parametric graphs for each of the software packages used and for varying wave directions. The graphs show the hydrodynamic loads exerted on the platform, the wave elevation, the added masses, the hydrodynamic damping coefficients, the mooring line tensions, and the Response Amplitude Operators (RAOs) for the motion of the platform.
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Bio Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of biomaterials and biointerfaces including and beyond the traditional biosensing, biomedical and therapeutic applications.
The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important bio applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses the relationship between structure and function and assesses the stability and degradation of materials under relevant environmental and biological conditions.
