Abstract Design optimization of mooring systems is an important step towards the reduction of costs for the floating wind turbine (FWT) industry. Accurate prediction of slowly-varying horizontal motions is needed, but there are still questions regarding the most adequate models for low-frequency wave excitation, and damping, for typical FWT concepts. To fill this gap, it is fundamental to compare existing load models against model tests results. This paper describes a calibration procedure for a three-columns semi-submersible FWT, based on adjustment of a time-domain numerical model to experimental results in decay tests, and tests in waves. First, the numerical model and underlying assumptions are introduced. The model is then validated against experimental data, such that the adequate load models are chosen and adjusted. In this step, Newman’s approximation is adopted for the second-order wave loads, using wave drift coefficients obtained from the experiments. Calm-water viscous damping is represented as a linear and quadratic model, and adjusted based on decay tests. Additional damping from waves is then adjusted for each sea state, consisting of a combination of a wave drift damping component, and one component with viscous nature. Finally, a parameterization procedure is proposed for generalizing the results to sea states not considered in the tests.

Towing as a specific type of sea transport is often used for installing objects for drilling and exploitation of underwater gas and oil wells. Also, towing proved to be a cost-effective solution for the installation of the offshore wind turbine electric generators at sea locations. Because of the mass of these objects the need for towing increases progressively. Time domain numerical model for the wave-induced motions of a towed ship and the towline tension in regular head seas is presented in this paper. For the sake of simplicity, one end of the towing line is attached to ship’s bow and another end has prescribed straight line motion. All considerations are done in the vertical plane so the ship is modeled as a rigid body with three degrees of freedom. Hydrodynamic loadings due to waves are taken into account along with added mass and damping. Dynamics of the towing line is described by finite elements. Due to the nonlinear properties of the problem calculations are done in time domain. Comparison of the obtained numerical results is made with previously published results.

In order to acquaint the application of geological penetrating radar (GPR) in tunnel lining detection elaborately, the tunnel lining model involving diseases (voids, voids filled with water, zone filled with materials and cracks) has been researched with GPR (equipped with a 800MHz antenna). And on the basis of the finite difference time domain method (FDTD), the 2-D simulation model of tunnel lining with different diseases was established with the software GPRMAX2D for further research in 800MHz and 1400MHz antennae. Comparing the GPR images of the test model and the 2-D numerical model with the actual layout settings in the tunnel lining, the following results can be obtained obviously. GPR is impressible to steel, while the lower rebar is difficult to identify for the double-layer rebar; GPR equipped with a 800MHz antenna is appropriate to monitor the void, while the accuracy of the geological radar method is related to the shape, size, depth and water condition of the voids; the accuracy of GPR is almost 50mm for the 800MHz antenna , while it is 20mm for the 1400MHz antenna and cracks can’t be identify with the 800MHz.
