Abstract Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) are an opportunity for floating production storage and offloading units (FPSOs) to reduce emissions. To avoid long connecting power cables with long transmission distances between a FOWT and an FPSO, the novel concept of a suspended power cable in a large water depth of 1000 m is investigated in this study. The power cable is kept floating between the sea surface and the seabed without touching either of them. A catenary configuration and two configurations with subsea buoys attached at different locations along the cable are investigated. The OC3-Hywind 5 MW reference FOWT is set up with a deepwater mooring system, and a spread-moored FPSO is modeled with characteristics similar to existing FPSOs. Steady-state and dynamic simulations are carried out in the numerical software OrcaFlex. The different configurations are first evaluated in steady-state analyses. The largest tensions are observed for the catenary configuration, whereas it shows the lowest horizontal cable excursions. Buoys attached along the center section of the cable lift it into regions with strong currents. This results in a large horizontal excursion of the cable and large tensions. The suspended configuration with buoys attached evenly over the cable results in significantly lower tensions than the other two configurations. It is studied further with dynamic analyses. The tensions at the floater hang-offs increase by a maximum of 24% compared to steady-state results indicating that dynamic analysis is crucial for the design of suspended cable configurations.

The comprehensive usage of an array of natural or artificial semi-circular breakwaters (SCB) as supporting structures to secure the floating/fixed structures are received increasingly more consideration in recent years. The performance characteristics of bottom-fixed SCB in the presence of a floating dock are investigated under the framework of linear wave theory. The edge conditions such as continuity of velocity and pressure along the SCB and zero flow condition near rigid surfaces are adopted. The multi-domain boundary element method (MBEM) is used to examine the wave attenuation performance of the whole breakwater system in two dimensions. The correctness of the present study's numerical results is confirmed by performing the comparative study with the readily available experimental and analytical results reported by various researchers. The reflection, transmission, energy loss coefficients, and fluid force experienced by floating dock are examined as a function of incident wave properties and breakwater physical properties. The Bragg resonant reflection and performance comparison with other shapes are also studied. The study results strongly suggest that the damage of floating structures and leeward locales due to incident wave stroke is minimized with the introduction of porosity for SCB located on the seabed by dissipating the wave energy. A pair of bottom fixed SCB having 10% - 20% breakwater porosity placed far away from the dock is identified as the optimal choice to reduce the fluid force experienced by the dock and wave transmission coefficient.

Floating bodies are widely used in the field of offshore engineering. Existing studies show that the motion responses of a floating body in waves will change with the internal water in the cabins, and it is essential to analyze its hydrodynamic performance under various potential operating conditions. However, most of the research only considers the interaction between the floating body and the internal water in the upright position, and there has been little research on the inclined floating body caused by water partially filled in the broadside. In this study, a floating body with a plurality of longitudinal and transverse cabins was designed. The regular wave model test was carried out in a wave basin, and the numerical results were compared with the experimental results, which verified the accuracy of the model. The effects of wave direction, wave frequency, water filling depth and cabin division on the motion responses of the floating body are analyzed. The results show that the water inside the cabins has a significant impact on the roll motion. With the increase of the water filling depth, the natural frequency of the roll motion decreases. Special attention should be paid to the impact on the wave direction and cabin division on the partially water-filled inclined floating body.

For ships navigating in ice floe fields, ship-ice-wave interactions may affect ship performance and ice impact forces. This is because the added mass and hydrodynamic damping may influence hydromechanics and associated ship-ice interactions. This paper presents an approach to evaluate the cross-coupling added mass and hydrodynamic damping between a passing ship and a free-floating small/medium size ice floe based on the Boundary Element Method (BEM). The influences of added mass and hydrodynamic damping are explored for different wave frequencies and headings. Preliminary results are presented for a regular waves scenario whereby a tanker progressing at low speed is passing by a free-floating ice floe modelled as a round disk in close proximity. Radiation and diffraction potentials of the interacting floating bodies are linearly superimposed to reflect the influence of hydromechanical coupling on responses. Parametric analysis of Response Amplitude Operators (RAOs) indicates that the cross-coupling terms of added mass and hydrodynamic damping are of the same order of magnitude as those of the ice floe but smaller by one or two orders of magnitude than those of the ship. It is concluded that whereas the influence of hydrodynamic interactions primarily influences the motions of the ice floe, hydrodynamic interactions are significant attributes of the ship-ice system dynamics.

Abstract This article presents an extreme value analysis on data of significant wave height based on time-series simulation. A method to simulate time series with given marginal distribution and preserving the autocorrelation structure in the data is applied to significant wave height data. Then, extreme value analysis is performed by simulating from the fitted time-series model that preserves both the marginal probability distribution and the autocorrelation. In this way, the effect of serial correlation on the extreme values can be taken into account, without subsampling and de-clustering of the data. The effect of serial correlation on estimating extreme wave conditions have previously been highlighted, and failure to account for this effect will typically lead to an overestimation of extreme conditions. This is demonstrated by this study, which compares extreme value estimates from the simulated times-series model with estimates obtained directly from the marginal distribution assuming that 3-h significant wave heights are independent and identically distributed. A dataset of significant wave height provided as part of a second benchmark exercise on environmental extremes that was presented at OMAE 2021 has been analyzed. This article is an extension of a study presented at OMAE 2022 (OMAE2022-78795) and includes additional preprocessing of the data to account for seasonality and new results.

Increased deployment of offshore wind turbines is seen as an important pathway to increase green renewable energy production. Improved and rapid identification of extreme events and evaluation of hydrodynamic loads due to such events is essential to reduce the cost of energy production. Numerical modelling to pre-screen sea states and identify the crucial events to prioritise model tests will make a major contribution to reduce design times and costs for such structures. In this effort, a highly efficient and nonlinear numerical model based on the Laplace equations is used to generate undisturbed wave kinematics. Such a simulation is used to identify extreme wave events in a sea state realisation and further, the wave loading due to such events are evaluated using Morison Formula. Events screened in this manner can then be transferred to a high-resolution model such as a Navier-Stokes equations-based solver to investigate the hydrodynamics in details. The implementation of such a method in the open-source hydrodynamic model REEF3D is presented in this work.

In this effort, a highly efficient and nonlinear numerical model based on the Laplace equations is used to generate undisturbed wave kinematics. Such a simulation is used to identify extreme wave events in a sea state realisation and further, the wave loading due to such events are evaluated using Morison Formula. Events screened in this manner can then be transferred to a high-resolution model such as a Navier-Stokes equations-based solver to investigate the hydrodynamics in details. The implementation of such a method in the open-source hydrodynamic model REEF3D is presented in this work.","PeriodicalId":50106,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering-Transactions of the Asme","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42630626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
The turbulent flow characteristics over bed-mounted three different cubical shape bluff bodies is examined experimentally in the water channel facility. The steady and fluctuating flow fields are investigated to analyse the effect of corner radius and shapes of the bluff body on turbulent flow structure, particularly in the wake region. It is found that the sharp corner region, significantly impacts the flow separation and alters the characteristics of the shear-layer flow. In particular, the relatively subtle change in geometry resulted in a remarkable variation of the mean flow in the wake is observed. The anisotropic nature of flow is analysed using the turbulence triangle for the different cubical structures. The variation of the turbulent length scales are presented in the near and far wake region of the submerged obstacles.

Wave energy converters (WECs) are built to extract wave energy. However, this kind of device is still expensive for commercial utilisation. To cut down the cost of WECs by sharing the construction cost with breakwaters, an integrated cylindrical WEC-type breakwater system that includes a cylindrical WEC array in front of a very long breakwater is proposed to extract wave energy and attenuate incident waves. This paper aims to optimise the performance of the integrated cylindrical WEC-type breakwater system. A computational fluid dynamics tool, OpenFOAM®, and a potential flow theory-based solver, HAMS®, are utilised. OpenFOAM® provides viscosity corrections to a modified version of HAMS® in order to accurately and efficiently predict the integrated system's performance. Parametric studies are conducted to optimise the integrated system, and a novel setup with an extra arc structure is found to significantly improve the performance of the integrated system.

An offshore energy transition, even if only a gradual one, from carbon-emitting fossil fuel extraction to cleaner sources is recommended, if we are to slow the harmful impacts of climate change. The potential for sustainable reuse of decommissioned offshore jacket platforms to support wind turbines is being considered as an attractive proposition in such a transition. To maximize the benefits of such reuse of assets, what is needed is a rational optimization strategy that considers the remaining life of a repurposed platform, associated retrofit and construction costs, and a future period of gross renewable energy generation following installation of the wind turbine. We outline a study that employs a fatigue reliability-based framework, based on the global fatigue approach and Palmgren-Miner's rule, to aid in such sustainable reuse planning and optimization. The framework proposed identifies an optimized reuse plan that incorporates metocean data analysis, structural analysis, life-cycle evaluation, and revenue optimization. We employ a case study and sustainable reuse scenario for a site in the vicinity of Porto (Leixoes), Portugal.
