This paper examines the design feasibility of cage aquaculture coexistent with an offshore wind farm in the southwestern sea of South Korea. Among the many types of fish farms, 2 × 3 cage aquaculture was selected for the investigation and the initial design including mooring lines, bridles, etc. was drawn with iterative numerical simulations using Orcaflex. Experimental campaigns were conducted to validate the numerical results, and they were found to be in good agreement with the experiments. Using a validated numerical model, the tension of mooring lines and the deformed volumes of the facility were examined under given operating and survival conditions. The validated model will be further used to investigate various aspects of the cage farm design for design optimization.

Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) units have the advantages of their ability to provide storage and offloading capabilities which are not available in other types of floating production systems. In addition, FPSOs also provide a large deck area and substantial topsides payload capacity. They are in use in a variety of water depths and environments around the world. It is a good solution for offshore oil and gas development in fields where there is lack of an export pipeline system to shore. However due to their inherently high motions in waves, they are limited in the types of risers they can host. The Low Motion FPSO (LM-FPSO) is a novel design that is developed to maintain the advantages of the conventional FPSOs while offering significantly lower motion responses. The LM-FPSO design generally consists of a box-shape hull with large storage capacity, a free-hanging solid ballast tank (SBT) located certain distance below the hull keel, a few groups of tendons arranged to connect the SBT to the hull, a mooring system for station keeping, and a riser system. The addition of SBT to the floater results in a significant increase in heave, roll and pitch natural periods, mainly through the mass and added mass of the SBT, which significantly reduces motions in the wave frequency range. Model tests were performed at the Korea Research Institute of Ships & Ocean Engineering (KRISO) in the fall of 2016. An analytical model of the basin model (MOM) was created in Orcaflex and calibrated against the basin-model. Good agreement is achieved between global performance results from MOM's predictions and basin model measurements. The model test measurements have further verified the superior motion response of LM-FPSO. In this paper, numerical results are presented to demonstrate the comparison and correlation of the MOM results with model test measurements. The verification of the superior motion response through model test measurements is also presented in this paper.

In this study, the operability of an FLBT (floating LNG bunkering terminal) was evaluated experimentally. Model tests were conducted in the KRISO (Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering) ocean engineering basin. An FLBT, an LNG carrier, and two LNG bunkering shuttles were moored side by side with mooring ropes and fenders. Two white-noise wave cases, one irregular wave case, and various regular wave cases were generated. The relative local motions between each LNG loading arm and its corresponding manifold in the initial design configuration were calculated from measured 6-DOF motions at the center of gravity of each of the four vessels. Furthermore, the locations of the LNG loading arms and manifolds were varied to minimize the relative local motions.

Most underwater acoustic arrays for low frequency operation are deployed vertically, but a mid-range frequency horizontal array system is being developed by the Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering (KRISO). The horizontal array platform is deployed underwater and kept in place by weather vaning mooring. This is essential because it is nearly impossible to keep a submerged body at a given position in the water without any external force. Hence, the horizontal array platform can maintain the desired position in the presence of a weak tidal current. The objective of this study is to design an underwater platform that can maintain its horizontal position in a weak current. First, the authors investigated various virtual models, selected one of the models, and performed a small model test of the selected model at a basin. We calculated the external forces associated with the 2D motion, and then we conducted a large basin test followed by a circulation water channel test for the manufactured array platform. The results of the simplified 2D motion calculation essentially matched the results of the underwater test.

Differing from the fixed-type, the dynamic motion of floating-type offshore wind turbines is very sensitive to wind and wave excitations. Thus, the sensing and monitoring of its motion is important to evaluate the dynamic responses to the external excitation. In this context, a monitoring system for sensing and processing the wind-induced dynamic motion of spar-type floating offshore wind turbine is developed in this study. It is developed by integrating a 1/00 scale model of 2.5MW spar-type floating offshore wind turbine, water basin equipped with the wind generator, sensing and data acquisition systems, real-time CompactRIO controller and monitoring program. The scale model with the upper rotatable blades is installed within the basin by means of three mooring lines, and its translational and rotational motions are detected by 3-axis inclinometer and accelerometers and gyroscope. The detected motion signals are processed using a real-time controller CompactRIO to calculate the acceleration and tilting angle of nacelle and the attitude of floating platform. The developed monitoring system is demonstrated and validated by measuring and evaluating the time histories and trajectories of nacelle and platform motions for three different wind velocities and for eight different fairlead positions.

Spar platforms have several advantages for deploying wind turbines in offshore for depth beyond 120 m. The merit of spar platform is large range of topside payloads, favourable motions compared to other floating structures and minimum hull/deck interface. The main objective of this paper is to present the response analysis of the slack moored spar platform supporting 5MW wind turbine with bottom keel plates in regular and random waves, studied experimentally and numerically. A 1:100 scale model of the spar with sparD, sparCD and sparSD configuration was studied in the wave basin ($30{\times}30{\times}3m$) in Ocean engineering department in IIT Madras. In present study the effect of wind loading, blade dynamics and control, and tower elasticity are not considered. This paper presents the details of the studies carried out on a 16 m diameter and 100 m long spar buoy supporting a 90 m tall 5 MW wind turbine with 3600 kN weight of Nacelle and Rotor and 3500 kN weight of tower. The weight of the ballast and the draft of the spar are adjusted in such a way to keep the centre of gravity below the centre of buoyancy. The mooring lines are divided into four groups, each of which has four lines. The studies were carried out in regular and random waves. The operational significant wave height of 2.5 m and 10 s wave period and survival significant wave height of 6 m and 18 s wave period in 300 m water depth are considered. The wind speed corresponding to the operational wave height is about 22 knots and this wind speed is considered to be operating wind speed for turbines. The heave and surge accelerations at the top of spar platform were measured and are used for calculating the response. The geometric modeling of spar was carried out using Multisurf and this was directly exported to WAMIT for subsequent hydrodynamic and mooring system analysis. The numerical results were compared with experimental results and the comparison was found to be good. Parametric study was carried out to find out the effect of shape, size and spacing of keel plate and from the results obtained from present work ,it is recommended to use circular keel plate instead of square plate.

An experimental method to investigate the dynamic characteristics of buoys in extreme environmental condition is established. Because the buoy model requires a resonable size for accurate experiment, the test condition in model basin that satisfies the similarity law is hardly compatible with capability of test facilities. It is suggested that the linear wave component that is unable to satisfy similarity is separated with others. The model experiment is carried out with mitigated condition for the linear wave components while others including wave drift, current and wind are keeping the similarities. Then, the result can be extrapolated to give the dynamic behavior of buoys n extreme condition because linear wave component is solely responsibly to oscillatory buoy motion and other environmental components are applied as a initial tension. The similarity for current and wind conditions is viewed as equivalence of restoring forces. The validity of proposed method is examined with different types of standard ocean buoys and it indicates that the linearity of measured characteristics is assured with a limitation of resonable distance between test and estimated wave conditions.

본 연구에서 하역크레인을 장착하여 모선과 연안항만간 컨테이너를 단거리 운송하는 것으로 새로운 개념의 해상운송시스템인 모바일하버를 소개하였다. 초대형 컨테이너선박이 직접 연안항만에 접이안하는 대신에 모바일하버가 해안에서 일정거리 이격되어 모선이 정박하기에 수심여건이 양호한 작업장까지만 이동한다. 따라서, 모바일하버의 적용을 위한 국내 무역항의 해안환경, 기술적 조건 및 한계에 대한 조사는 필연적 과정이다. 모바일하버의 접근성을 파악하기 위하여 환경조건, 화물하역처리능력, 해상교통량 및 교통류를 해상교통시뮬레이션 및 가상항로표지시스템의 툴을 사용하여 분석하였다. 수집한 정보의 분석과 적용서의 평가를 통해 최적수준의 남해안 및 동해안 무역항에 대한 모바일하버 정박장은 (1) 기상 및 해상자연환경조건면에서 마산항, 울산항, 부산신항의 순으로, (2) 해상교통 및 수역시설여건의 조건에서는 목포, 부산신항, 동해묵호항의 순으로, (3) 화물처리의 현장능력 및 지역무역항의 운영실태분석으로는 부산권, 여수광양권, 목포권으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 최적의 항만 및 작업장 선정을 위한 기준을 제시하였으며, 모바일하버가 현장에 적용되기 위해서는 초대형선박과 모바일하버의 접안 및 화물작업이 이루어지는 해역에서 해상교통안전을 확보하기 위한 선박자동식별시스템 등 가상항행보조시설이 도입되어야 할 것으로 본다.

동북아의 허브항만으로 건설중인 부산신항만은 태풍 매미로 인해 480억원에 이르는 큰 피해를 입었다. 국내의 현행 항만설계기준을 보면 항만 정온도 기준은 선박규모별 항내 한계파고만이 규정되어있다. 그러나, 항만의 연중 이용일수를 나타내는 항만 가동률은 화물을 싣고 내리는 하역작업의 효율에 달려있으며, 하역효율은 다시 접안선박의 파랑에 의한 동요 및 하역기계의 성능에 따라 결정된다. 선박의 동요는 파고뿐만 아니라 주기에 따라서도 충분히 달라질 수 있으며 해 ${\cdot}$ 조류, 바람 등의 외력조건, 계류시스템의 특성과 선박의 제원 등의 복합적인 요인에 의하여 결정된다. 본 연구에서는 수치실험 및 관측 자료를 통해 평상시의 항만 가동률을 산정하고자 한다. 특히, 부산신항만의 개발초기단계에서의 계획으로부터 수심을 증심시킴과 아울러, 매립범위 및 해안선 형태 등 다양한 변화가 건설과정에서 나타났고 이를 본 연구에서 반영하여 상세해역과 장래 개발해역 둥에서 항만가동율을 재산정하였다. 파랑변형과정의 이해와 분석을 돕기 위하여 관련해역에서 정상상태 스펙트럼모델과 확장 완경사 파랑 모델을 부산신항역에 적용하여 항만반응 특성을 분석하였다.
