Vortex-induced motion (VIM) phenomenon is a great challenge for design and operation of offshore structures subjected to ocean flow. Semi-submersibles with three columns are often applied to the field of wind turbine, suffering VIM motions probably. In recent years, it is showed that many factors have more or less influence on VIM of platforms. A comparison of circular columns with square columns on VIM characteristics of three-column semisubmersibles is carried out using the detached eddy simulation (DES) method via Star-ccm+ software. This paper analyzes motions in the transverse direction and yaw, as well as fluid forces including drag force and fluctuating lift force. The results show that transverse amplitudes of semisubmersible with three square columns are much lower than those of semisubmersible with three circular columns at all incidences. Besides, the authors conclude that the semisubmersible with three square columns do not experience obvious resonance behavior, which is different from the semisubmersible with three circular columns. Besides, galloping phenomenon occurred at large reduced velocities at 0°-incidence for the semisubmersible with three square columns, which is likely not induced by lift force directly. Meanwhile, in these cases, yaw amplitudes are also larger than the others. This may be due to the galloping behavior, which is just a conjecture.

This paper aims to compare the impact responses in float-over installation for a gravity-based platform under two different simplifications of shock absorbers. A coupled heave-roll-pitch impact model based on the Cummins equation has been established to analyze the dynamic behaviors of installation system, in which the time-consuming convolution integral is replaced by a state-space model, resulting in a constant parameter time-domain model. In present dynamic model, the Leg Mating Units (LMUs) and the Deck Support Units (DSUs), known as shock absorbers, are simplified as vertical gap springs (compression only) with appropriate damping properties since the heave motion of the float-over installation system is the main contribution to the impact loads. Linear and nonlinear springs are assumed to evaluate how the properties of LMUs/DSUs will affect the heave impact response at docking stage and undocking stage. The influence of characteristics of LMU and DSU on the dynamic responses at docking stage is also addressed through the Poincare map and phase portraits.

In this study, numerical analysis has been carried out to investigate the hydrodynamic interactions of two multi-columns platforms. The objective of the work is to preliminarily evaluate the feasibility of a tension-leg-platform (TLP) dry tree unit (DTU) with tender assisted drilling (TAD) from the aspect of vortex-induced motions, characterized by the current. Two multi-columns floating platforms with a small gap ratio (28% of the overall platform width) are numerically simulated with the scenario of 3 degree-of-freedom (DOF) on the horizontal plane (including transverse, in-line and yaw motions). A comprehensive numerical simulation was conducted to examine the hydrodynamics interactions due to the flow over two floating platforms. Horizontal plane motions including transverse, in-line and yaw motions as well as drag and lift forces on both structures are discussed. The numerical data on the multi-body VIM interactions within the “lock-in” region will serve as a preliminary study for future coupled motions analysis of the TLP-TAD system design.

The objective of this study is to understand the weathervane performance and stability of FOWTs moored to SPM systems under wind and current coexisting field. Two types of FOWT systems, a semi-submersible and a spar (1/200 scale) are designed and manufactured based on Froude’s scaling law. A series of scaled model experiments are conducted and compared during wind-current coexisting field in a circulating water tank at Osaka Prefecture University, Osaka, Japan. Weathervane performance is evaluated under various conditions of wind and current. It is found during experiments that the weathervane performance of the SPM-FOWT systems is acceptable in rated wind and slow current condition. However, in the rated wind and high speed current condition, the weathervane performance is found to be not acceptable and unstable oscillation is observed. A numerical program is also developed to understand the behavior using the maneuvering equations. Further, attempts are made to understand the stability of SPM-FOWT systems based on Eigenvalue analysis.

This paper presents a numerical investigation on the wave resonance in a narrow gap between two floating bodies in close proximity using a hybrid model, qaleFOAM, which combines a two-phase Navier-Stokes model (NS) and the fully nonlinear potential theory (FNPT) using a spatially hierarchical approach. The former governs the computational domain near the floating bodies and the gap, where the viscous effects are significant, and is solved by using OpenFOAM/InterDyMFoam. The latter covers the rest of the domain and solved by using the Quasi Lagrangian Eulerian Finite Element Method (QALE-FEM). The model is validated by comparing its numerical predictions with experimental data in the cases with linear incident waves. Systematic investigations using incident waves with different steepness are then followed to explore the nonlinear effects on the wave resonance.

Nowadays, in maritime industries, container ships increase in size and they have large flares, which may induce nonlinear wave loads in large-amplitude waves. It is also well known that hydrodynamic forces acting on a ship and resulting ship motions show nonlinearities at some range of wave frequencies. Therefore, we should investigate not only correct estimation of wave loads and ship motions, but also nonlinear ship-motion characteristics in large-amplitude waves. However, it is not that clear which nonlinear hydrodynamic force terms are dominating for the nonlinearity in the ship motions. Although the linear equations of motion have been used, they should be modified to incorporate at least the most important nonlinear hydrodynamic forces and to establish a practical calculation method taking account of only the indispensable nonlinear terms. In this research, we did extensive experimental measurement of hydrodynamic forces and wave-induced ship motions, with which we aim to understand what are practically important nonlinear terms, and to derive practical nonlinear ship motion equations through numerical computation and comparison with experimental data.

Linear driving wave energy converter (WEC) system need to control the electric generator to obtain more power generation. Electric power is consumed by control, but it is possible to control the natural period of the floating motion. By resonating the movement of the float part with wave, it is possible to obtain the power generation more than the control power consumption, the total power generation performance will be improved. In this study, to ensure the WEC safety and performance for various wave condition, especially high wave height, the electrical control algorithms are changed for different wave condition. A control strategy is proposed for various wave condition considering the control force limitation and motion amplitude limitation. Basis on the control strategy, the range of operation by electric control is estimated. In addition, by estimating the expected value of power generation in the set sea, the setting parameters of the WEC can be discussed according to the wave situation.

Highly nonlinear extreme waves are the major, often the dominant, environmental load on offshore wind turbines. The higher-order ‘ringing’ loads associated with the nonlinear waves can cause unexpected resonance of the monopile. Hydrodynamic analysis of these harmonic loads remains a challenge due to the difficulty in extracting the bound harmonics from the force spectrum in an extreme wave event. A phase manipulation approach (four-phase combination) has been recently demonstrated to be able to separate the higher harmonic components of the wave loads in tank tests. In this work, we employ a fully nonlinear potential flow based Numerical Wave Tank (NWT) to simulate the wave diffraction by a fixed vertical column. We present a detailed study of our checks on the numerical accuracy of our model. Phase control is implemented for the wavemaker to manipulate the phase of each wave component. Focused wave groups are generated to represent the incoming extreme waves. With the four-phase decomposition, the higher harmonics of the wave loads are shown to be clearly separated. Comparisons with the existing test results show fairly good agreement at higher harmonics. The structure of the harmonic forces and moments are analysed and we reconstruct the higher harmonics based on the Stokes expansion assumption using the linear force. In addition, the effects of wave steepness on the harmonic components are discussed.

To mitigate global warming, it is necessary to emit less CO2 into the atmosphere and the Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS) attracts attention these days as one of the solutions against the problem. Off Tomakomai coast, Japan, a CCS project has been demonstrated since 2016. However, there may be a risk of CO2 leakage and consequent seepage from the seafloor, even if the probability of such an event is almost nil. In this research, we assumed that CO2 seeps from multiple points on the seafloor and aimed at estimating the seepage locations, time and fluxes, by using CO2 concentration data observed by several sensors set on the seafloor. We adopted the adjoint marginal sensitivity method, which is a probabilistic time-backward method: an adjoint location probability is released by each sensor and spreads in the time-backward direction. The adjoint location probabilities are used to estimate the seepage fluxes. We also combined the least squares method with the adjoint marginal sensitivity method to estimate the seepage fluxes. We considered that CO2 seeps from 2 points in 2-dimensional horizontal domains as test calculations with changing seepage flux ratios, such as 1:1, 1:0.1 or 1:0.01.

In this study, an attempt is made to understand the hydrodynamic characteristics of an automated multi-hull vessel named as Quadmaran. Firstly, a single hull of the Quadmaran vessel is considered and numerical CFD simulation is performed using OpenFOAM. Hull resistance predictions are compared with the experimental findings and numerical simulation is validated. After validating the simulation scheme, further CFD simulations are performed on two hulls with varying distance between them to understand the hydrodynamic characteristics of different configurations. Pressure distribution and wave patterns around the hulls are also summarized and discussed in the paper. Further, efforts are made to optimize the distance between the hulls for reducing hull resistance. A basic framework is suggested to carefully consider the hydrodynamic effects for multi-hull vessels.
