The tension leg platform (TLP) is a vertically moored structure with excess buoyancy. The TLP is regarded as moored structure in horizontal plan, while inherit stiffness of fixed platform in vertical plane. In this paper, a numerical study using modified Morison equation was carried out in the time domain to investigate the influence of nonlinearities due to hydrodynamic forces and the coupling effect between surge, sway, heave, roll, pitch and yaw degrees of freedom on the dynamic behavior of TLP's. The stiffness of the TLP was derived from a combination of hydrostatic restoring forces and restoring forces due to cables and the nonlinear equations of motion were solved utilizing Newmark's beta integration scheme. The effect of tethers length and wave characteristics such as wave period and wave height on the response of TLP's was evaluated. Only uni-directional waves in the surge direction was considered in the analysis. It was found that for short wave periods (i.e. 10 sec.), the surge response consisted of small amplitude oscillations about a displaced position that is significantly dependent on tether length, wave height; whereas for longer wave periods, the surge response showed high amplitude oscillations about that is significantly dependent on tether length.

The FPSO is moored by mooring lines to keep the position of it. The nonlinear motion analysis of the moored FPSO must be carried out in the initial design stage because sea environments affect motion of it. In this paper, the mathematical model is based on the slow motion maneuvering equations in the horizontal plane considering wave, current and wind forces. The direct integration method is employed to estimate wave loads. The current forces are calculated by using mathematical model of MMG. The turret mooring forces are quasi-statically evaluated by using the catenary equation. The coefficients of a model for wind forces are calculated from Isherwood's experimental data and the variation of wind speed is estimated by wind spectrum according to the guidelines of API-RP2A. The nonlinear motions of FPSO are simulated under external forces due to wave, current, wind including mooring forces in time domain.

The interaction of focused wave groups with a vertical wall is investigated based on the second order potential theory. The NewWave theory, which represents the most probable surface elevation under a large crest, is adopted. The analytical solutions of the surface elevation, velocity potential and wave force exerted on the vertical wall are derived, up to the second order. Then, a parametric study is made on the interaction between nonlinear focused wave groups and a vertical wall by considering the effects of angles of incidence, wave steepness, focal positions, water depth, frequency bandwidth and the peak lifting factor. Results show that the wave force on the vertical wall for obliquely-incident wave groups is larger than that for normally-incident waves. The normalized peak crest of wave forces reduces with the increase of wave steepness. With the increase of the distance of focal positions from the vertical wall, the peak crest of surface elevation, although fluctuates, decreases gradually. Both the normalized peak crest and adjacent crest and trough of wave forces become larger for shallower water depth. For focused wave groups reflected by a vertical wall, the frequency bandwidth has little effects on the peak crest of wave elevation or forces, but the adjacent crest and trough become smaller for larger frequency bandwidth. There is no significant change of the peak crest and adjacent trough of surface elevation and wave forces for variation of the peak lifting factor. However, the adjacent crest increases with the increase of the peak lifting factor.

During a model test of Hutton TLP, a "ringing" response was first observed about 20 years ago. This phenomenon is a resonant build up over the time of wave period and this burst-like motion can cause the extreme load on the TLP tether. It is often detected in the large and steep irregular waves but the generation mechanism leading to the "ringing" is not yet well understood. According to the research since then, the higher order harmonic components may account for the "ringing" on the floating offshore structures. The main purpose of the present research is, thus, to measure the higher harmonic forces exerted on a vertical truncated circular column and to compare them with available data. A vertical truncated cylinder with a diameter of 3.5inch and a draft of 10.5inch is used as a test structure, which is a scaled model of ISSC TLP column. The cylinder is installed at a distance of 45ft from the wave maker in order to avoid parasitic waves created in the wave flap. Attached to the upper part of the cylinder are two force gages to measure the horizontal (surge) and vertical (heave) forces on the cylinder. The incoming waves are Stokes waves with a slope ranging from 0.06 to 0.24. The forces and waves are measured for 60 seconds with a sampling rate of 50 Hz. Among the recorded data, the first 10 waves are excluded because of transient behavior of the waves and the next The horizontal and vertical forces are analyzed up to 5th order harmonics. The horizontal forces are then compared to the values from the theoretical model called "FNV model". In addition, force transfer functions are also investigated. Major findings in this research are below. 1) The first order forces measured are slightly larger than the theoretical values of "FNV model" 2) The "FNV model" considerably overpredicts the second order forces. 3) The larger the amplitude and more extreme the wave slope, the smaller the predictions are compared to the experimental. 4) The higher harmonic forces are significantly smaller than the first harmonic force for all wave parameters. 5) The normalized forces vs. waves slopes are almost constant in the lower harmonics but vary a lot in the higher harmonics. 6) The trend of forces is more nonlinear in the horizontal forces than in the vertical forces as the wave slope increases. 7) The part of the results above is also observed by other researchers and confirmed again through the present work.

Special purpose vessels such as drillship and ocean research vessels install the DPS(Dynamic Positioning System) to maintain the position and heading for long-time operation. This paper deals with the design parameters for the control theory and filter algorithms of DP system. for the environmental loadings wind forces, current forces and wave forces were considered. In order to estimate the low frequency motions without first-order wave motion, the Kalman filter was used and it was assumed that the first-order wave forces correspond to system noises and first-order wave motions are measurement noises. In this simulation, the length of research vessel is 65 meters and it has four thrusters to maintain the position. The ability of keeping position and heading was confirmed. For the calculation of thruster input the LQR and LOI control theory were adopted and the effects of gain were investigated.

Tension leg platforms (TLP's) are highly nonlinear due to large structural displacements and fluid motion-structure interaction. Therefore, the nonlinear dynamic response of TLP's under hydrodynamic wave loading is necessary to determine their deformations and dynamic characteristics. In this paper, a numerical study using modified Morison Equation was carried out in the time domain to investigate the influence of nonlinearities due to hydrodynamic forces and the coupling effect between all degrees of freedom on the dynamic behavior of a TLP. The stiffness of the TLP was derived from a combination of hydrostatic restoring forces and restoring forces due to cables and the nonlinear equations of motion were solved utilizing Newmark's beta integration scheme. The effect of wave characteristics was considered.

본 연구에서는 기존에 선형파 이론으로 제시된 반무한방파제 주변의 회절에 대한 해를 중첩하여 직립 이안제 주변에 발생하는 회절에 관한 해석해를 제시하였다. 그리고, 이를 이용하여 이안제 전면과 후면, 그리고 전·후면에 작용하는 합성파력에 대한 해를 유도하였다. 이안제 전면과 후면에서는 회절파와 중복파, 이안제 양쪽에서 회절한 회절파와 회절파 사이의 간섭에 의해 상대진폭이 공간상에서 주기적으로 변하는 양상을 보였다. 규칙파, 일방향 불규칙파 및 다방향 불규칙파를 대상으로 직립 이안제에 작용하는 파력을 검토하였다. 규칙파 내습시 이안제 전·후면의 파력을 모두 고려한 최대 합성파력의 경우 회절을 고려하지 않았을 경우에 비해 최대 1.6배까지 파력이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 Jung et al.(2021)이 반무한 방파제에 대해 회절효과를 고려하여 검토한 결과인 1.34배보다 큰 수치이다. 이안제에 작용하는 최대파력은 규칙파, 일방향 불규칙파, 다방향 불규칙파 순으로 크게 계산되었다. 파랑이 비스듬히 입사하는 경우 이안제에 수직으로 입사하는 경우보다 최대파력이 크게 나타나는 경우도 발견되었다. 따라서, 이안제를 설계할 때, 회절효과, 이안제 전·후면에 작용하는 파력, 파랑의 입사각의 고려가 중요함을 알 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 일정한 공극율을 갖는 투과성 그물망으로 이루어진 원통형 양식시설물에 작용하는 파랑하중을 고유함수전개법을 사용하여 해석하였다. 그물망에서의 경계조건식으로 그물망을 통과하는 속도값은 그물망 전후의 압력차에 선형적으로 비례한다는 Darcy의 법칙을 적용하였다. 그물망의 공극율 계수와 양식시설물의 잠긴 위치(부상식, 착저식)를 변화시키면서 양식시설물에 작용하는 파랑하중과 파도응답을 살펴보았다. 착저식 양식시설물에 작용하는 파랑하중이 부상식과 비교하여 크게 감소하며, 그물망의 공극율이 양식시설물의 파랑하중과 양식시설물 주변의 파형을 줄이는데 중요한 역할을 함을 밝혔다.

본 연구에서는 유공케이슨에 작용하는 파력을 산정하기 위해 제안된 세 가지 파력공식(Takahashi and Shimosako, 1994; Tabet-Aoul and Lambert, 2003; Li, 2007)의 적용성을 검토하기 위하여 2차원 수리실험을 수행하였다. 실험에 의한 계측값과 각 공식에 의한 계산값의 정량적 비교를 위하여 수정 일치지수 및 결정계수를 이용하였고, 이를 통해 계측값과 계산값이 어느 정도 서로 일치하는지 그 정도를 평가하였다. 세 가지 공식 중 DUT 공식(Li, 2007)이 실험값과 계산값 편차가 가장 적었으며, Takahashi 공식(Takahashi and Shimosako, 1994)은 가장 큰 편차를 나타내었다. 한편, 계측 및 계산값의 상대적인 크기를 비교한 결과 Takahashi공식과 Tabet-Aoul & Lambert 공식(Tabet-Aoul and Lambert, 2003)은 실험값에 비하여 파력을 과대산정하고, DUT 공식은 파력을 다소 과소산정하는 경향이 나타났다.
