Investigation into Fishtailing Effect of Oil Tankers Moored at Pile-Founded Column Single-Point Mooring (SPM) Systems

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
Targeting the “Fishtailing Effect” associated with shallow-water, pile-founded column single point mooring (SPM) systems, this study investigates the vessel’s motion characteristics under multiple operational scenarios using a numerical calculation ...

Evaluating the Validity of Quasi-Static Analysis for Prediction of Vessel Mooring Line Forces

open access: yesInternational Journal of Maritime Technology, 2013
Quasi-Static analysis of moored vessels is vastly used for engineering designs, as a substitute to the numerical simulation of dynamic mooring analysis. Yet, the level of validity of the results of quasi-static analysis is a matter of discussion.

A Study on the Hydrodynamic Response Characteristics of Vessel-Shaped Cages Based on the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Method

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
Due to the limitations of farming space, fish cage aquaculture is gradually expanding into offshore deep-sea areas, where the environmental conditions surrounding deep-sea fish cages are more complex and harsher compared to those in shallower offshore ...

Moored motion prediction of a semi-submersible offshore platform in waves using an OpenFOAM and MoorDyn coupled solver

open access: yesInternational Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, 2023
In this study, the motions of a moored buoy and its surrounding fluid flow are numerically studied. The solver is developed by coupling the computational fluid dynamics platform, OpenFOAM, with a lumped mass mooring line model, MoorDyn. The time marching

Hydrodynamic Response of a Large-Scale Mariculture Ship Based on Potential Flow Theory

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
The marine fishery will be the main form of the marine economy in the future. Simulating a hydrodynamic response under normal and extreme working conditions is the main means of structural analysis and design of a mariculture ship.

Design of automatic thruster assisted mooring systems for ships [PDF]

open access: yesModeling, Identification and Control, 1998
This paper addresses the mathematical modelling and controller design of an automatic thruster assisted position mooring system. Such control systems are applied to anchored floating production offloading and storage vessels and semi-subs. The controller

Design Optimization for a Truncated Catenary Mooring System for Scale Model Test

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2015
One of the main aspects when testing floating offshore platforms is the scaled mooring system, particularly with the increased depths where such platforms are intended.

PHYSICAL MODEL TEST OF THE MOORED CONTAINER SHIP MOTION AND THE RELATED INDUCED MOORING FORCE

open access: yesCoastal Engineering Proceedings, 1986
To optimize structure design it is useful to conduct detail physical model tests. Tests of various basic physical phenomena (e.g. resonance problems), reproducing a sea state of prototype duration and then from the behavior of entire structure, the optimal design to the wharf structure will be obtained.

The role of cable stiffness in the dynamic behaviours of submerged floating tunnel

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2017
Submerged floating tunnel (SFT) is a new solution for the transportation infrastructure through sea straits, fjords, and inland waters and can be a good alternative to long span suspension bridges and immersed tunnels. The mooring cables/anchors are main
