The Time Domain

In order to predict the coupled motion and external wave load for the design of deepwater floating structure system, based on the three-dimensional time-domain potential flow theory, this paper present the indirect time-domain dynamic coupling method and the body nonlinear dynamic coupling method. The perturbation expansion theory is adopted to evaluate hydrodynamic on the fixed mean wetted body surface for the former method. The transient free surface Green function has been extended and applied to calculate the nonlinear hydrodynamic on the instantaneous wetted exact body surface for the latter method. The finite element model is employed to solve dynamic response of mooring line. Then asynchronous coupled method is adopted to achieve the coupled dynamic analysis of platform and mooring lines. The time-domain motion responses and spectrum analysis of Spar platform are verified and compared with the traditional indirect time-domain coupling dynamic method when the mooring system is completed. Also the time-domain motion responses and statistical characteristic of Spar platform are investigated with one mooring line broken in extreme sea condition. Some conclusions are obtained, that is, dynamic coupling effects are significant and transient position hydrodynamic calculation of platform has a great influence on the low frequency motion. The results also show that the influence on the global performance of mooring system is different when the broken line is in different place. A remarkable influence occurs when the broken mooring line is in the head-wave direction.

Dynamics And Control

Increasing numbers of FOWTs (floating offshore wind turbines) are planned in the coming years due to their high potential in massive generation of clean energy from ocean-wind. In the present study, a numerical prediction tool has been developed for the fully coupled dynamic analysis of an FOWT system in time domain including aero-loading, blade-rotor dynamics and control, mooring dynamics, and platform motions so that the influence of rotor-control dynamics on the hull-mooring performance and vice versa can be assessed. Hywind spar design with 5MW turbine is selected as an example, and two different environmental conditions, maximum operational and survival conditions, are applied for this study. The maximum operational condition means the maximum environmental condition that wind turbine can work normally, and the survival condition represents the extreme situation without any blade-turbine operation. Through this study, it is seen that the design environments for different structural components of FOWT can be different. The developed technology and numerical tool are readily applicable to the design of any future FOWTs in any combinations of irregular waves, dynamic winds, and steady currents.

Increasing numbers of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) are planned in the coming years due to their high potential in the massive generation of clean energy from ocean wind. In the present study, a numerical prediction tool has been developed for the fully coupled dynamic analysis of an FOWT system in the time domain including aero-loading, tower/blade elasticity, blade-rotor dynamics and control, mooring dynamics, and platform motions so that the influence of aero-elastic-control dynamics on the hull-mooring performance and vice versa can be assessed. The Hywind spar design with a 5 MW National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) turbine is selected as an example and two different collinear wind-wave-current environmental conditions, maximum operational and survival conditions, are applied for this study. The maximum operational condition means the maximum environmental condition with normal blade-turbine operation and the survival condition represents the extreme situation without any blade-turbine operation. Through this study, it is seen that the ultimate-loading environments for different structural components of the FOWT can be different. The developed technology and numerical tool are readily applicable to the design of any type of future FOWTs in any combinations of irregular waves, dynamic winds, and steady currents.

Surface Boundary Condition

A time-domain simulation method is developed for the coupled dynamic analysis of a spar platform with mooring lines. For the hydrodynamic loads, a time domain second order method is developed. In this approach, Taylor series expansions are applied to the body surface boundary condition and the free surface boundary condition, and Stokes perturbation procedure is then used to establish corresponding boundary value problems with time-independent boundaries. A higher order boundary element method is developed to calculate the velocity potential of the resulting flow field at each time step. The free-surface boundary condition is satisfied to the second order by 4th order Adams-Bashforth-Moultn method. An artificial damping layer is adopted on the free surface to avoid the wave reflection. For the mooring-line dynamics, a geometrically nonlinear finite element method using isoparametric cable element based on the total Lagrangian formulation is developed. In the coupled dynamic analysis, the motion equation for the hull and dynamic equations for mooring lines are solved simultaneously using Newmark method. Numerical results including motions and tensions in the mooring lines are presented.
