A numerical procedure is described for predicting the motion and structural responses of the very large floating offshore structures supported by multiple 3-D floating bodies of arbitrary shape in multi-directional irregular waves. The developed numerical approach taking into account of the hydrodynamic interactions among the multiple floating bodies is based on a combination of the 3-D source distribution method, the wave interaction theory, the finite element method and the spectral analysis method to get the significant values of the dynamic responses in the multi-directional irregular waves. The effects of wave interactions and directionality on the dynamic responses of a very large offshore structure, which is semisubmersible ring type, are numerically examined.

This study is to develop a practical calculation method of hydrodynamic force and motion response on very large floating structures of multiple legs. To investigate the effecr of hydrodynamic interfaction and of free surface on the reaponses of very large floating structures in regular waves, four kind of models are considered, ie. 1, 4, 64, 21248 column with footing. Based upon the results of this study, it is found that the middle parts of very large floating structures have small diffration effects. Therefore only out side parts are used to determine the hydrodynamic forcea for taking into account the effects of interaction.

This paper compared with the hydrodynamic interference acting on the semi-submersible element model with 1-lowerhull and 2-columns. In this case, calculation are applying the strip method and 3-dimensional source distribution method. As the wave frequency and the distance between increase, the influence effects of parts upon each other decrease and approach the results calculated by using the strip method. Thus, it can be prepared for the investigation of new practical method of investigation of new practical method of hydrodynamic forces acting on huge structures.

To design a very large floating structure, such as a floating airport, we have to estimate the hydroelastic responses of a very large floating structure (VLFS) exactly. We developed the numerical method for estimating the hydroelastic responses of the VLFS. The developed numerical approach is based on a combination of the three-dimensional source distribution method, the wave interaction theory and the finite element method for structurally treating the space frame elements. The Numerical results of the hydroelastic responses and steady drift forces of a somisubmersible type offshore structure, which is supported by the 33(3 by 11) floating bodies, with various bending rigidities are illustrated.

슬롯판을 이용한 경사충격파와 경계층 간섭유동 제어에서, 슬롯의 각도를 바꾸어 가며 제어 성능을 비교하는 수치적 연구가 수행되었다. 기준이 되는 수직 슬롯, 각도를 달리한 6개의 case를 선정하여 하여 충격파 뒤에서 전압손실 및 경계층 안정성을 기준으로 제어 성능을 평가하였다. 수치해석 결과 모든 형상에 대해 제어하지 않은 상태보다 좋은 성능을 얻었다. 공력성능이 뛰어난 그룹과 그렇지 않은 그룹을 구분하여 슬롯과 공동 유동 구조를 분석하면서 경계층 불안정성을 야기하고 전압손실 감소에 영향을 미치는 것은 경계층과 충격파가 상호작용하는 영역에서 Vortex를 얼마나 제어할 수 있는지 여부임을 알 수 있었고, 이러한 Vortex를 얼마나 제어할 수 있는지에 따라 공력 성능이 결정됨을 파악할 수 있었다.

슬롯판을 이용한 경사충격파와 경계층 간섭유동 제어에서, 슬롯판 아래에 있는 공동부의 형상을 바꾸어 가며 제어 성능을 비교하는 수치적 연구가 수행되었다. 공동형상 직사각형 5개, 사다리꼴 3개를 선정하여 shock 뒤에서 경계층 안정성, 전압손실을 기준으로 제어 성능을 평가하였다. 수치해석 결과 모든 형상에 대해 제어하지 않은 상태보다 좋은 성능을 얻었다. 그 중 경계층 안정성 측면에서는 형상 L과 R, 전압손실 감소 측면에서는 형상 M과 A가 효과적임을 확인하였고, 종합적으로 슬롯의 끝 면과 공동의 길이방향 끝 면이 일치하는 형상에서 상대적으로 좋은 결과를 얻음을 확인했다. 또한 슬롯과 공동 내부유동을 분석하면서 경계층 안정성과 전압손실 감소에 영향을 미치는 것은 separation 영역을 얼마 원활히 흡입하는지의 여부임을 알 수 있었고, 상류 슬롯에서 발생하는 shock에 대한 추후 해결 연구도 필요함을 알 수 있었다.

The dynamic response characteristics of Tension Leg Platforms(TLPs) in waves are examined for presenting the basic data for design of TLPs. The numerical approach is based on a combination of the three dimensional source distribution method and the dynamic response analysis method, in which the superstructure of TLP is assumed to be flexible instead of rigid. Restoring forces by hydrostatic pressure on the submerged surface of a TLP have been accurately calculated by excluding the assumption of the slender body theory. The hydrodynamic interactions among TLP members, such as columns and pontoons, and the structural damping are included in the motion and structural analysis. Numerical results are compared with the experimental ones, which are obtained in the literature, concerning the motion and tension responses of a TLP in waves. The results of comparison confirmed the validity of the proposed approach.

An improved numerical scheme, to which the hydroelastic method is adapted, is introduced for predicting the motion and structural responses of tension leg platforms(TLPs) in regular waves. The numerical approach in this work is based on a combination of the three dimensional source distribution method and the finite element method. The hydrodynamic interactions among TLP members, such as columns and pontoons, are included in the motion and structural response analysis. The drag forces on the submerged slender members, which are proportional to the square of relative velocity, are included in order to estimate the responses of members with better accuracy. Comparisons with other results verify the works in this paper.
