Abstract
This paper presents the numerical simulation results for the dynamic responses of two types of submerged floating tunnels (SFT) under wave and/or seismic excitations. Time domain simulations are conducted by the commercial program OrcaFlex (OF) and in-house CHARM3D program (CP). The dynamic performances of a short/rigid/free-end SFT section with vertical and inclined mooring lines are evaluated. The SFT numerical models were validated against Oh et al.’s (2013) model test results under regular wave conditions. Then the numerical models were further applied to the cases of irregular waves or seismic motions. The main results presented are SFT surge/heave motions and mooring tensions. The general trends and magnitudes obtained by the two different software packages reasonably agree to each other along with experimental results. When seabed seismic motions are applied to the SFT system, the dynamic responses of SFTs are small but dynamic mooring tension can significantly be amplified. In particular, horizontal earthquakes greatly increase the dynamic tension of the inclined mooring system, while vertical earthquakes cause similar effect on vertical mooring system.
本文给出了两种沉浮隧道在波浪和地震作用下的动力响应的数值模拟结果。时域仿真由商业程序OrcaFlex (OF)和内部CHARM3D程序(CP)进行。对具有垂直和倾斜系泊线的短/刚性/自由端SFT截面的动力性能进行了评估。根据Oh et al.(2013)在规则波浪条件下的模型试验结果验证了SFT数值模型。然后将数值模型进一步应用于不规则波或地震运动的情况。给出的主要结果是SFT浪涌/升沉运动和系泊张力。两种不同软件包得到的总体趋势和数值与实验结果基本吻合。当海底地震运动作用于SFT系统时,SFT系统的动力响应较小,但可显著放大系泊动力张力。特别是水平地震大大增加了倾斜系泊系统的动张力,而垂直地震对垂直系泊系统也有类似的影响。
