The FPSO is moored by mooring lines to keep the position of it. The nonlinear motion analysis of the moored FPSO must be carried out in the initial design stage because sea environments affect motion of it. In this paper, the mathematical model is based on the slow motion maneuvering equations in the horizontal plane considering wave, current and wind forces. The direct integration method is employed to estimate wave loads. The current forces are calculated by using mathematical model of MMG. The turret mooring forces are quasi-statically evaluated by using the catenary equation. The coefficients of a model for wind forces are calculated from Isherwood's experimental data and the variation of wind speed is estimated by wind spectrum according to the guidelines of API-RP2A. The nonlinear motions of FPSO are simulated under external forces due to wave, current, wind including mooring forces in time domain.

In this study, hydrodynamic and mooring analysis for LNG FSRU moored by an internal turret with 9 mooring lines are numerically performed using commercial softwares, Hydrostar and Ariane. Met-ocean combinations for screening method are taken from wave governed condition(BV Rule Note NR 493) with relative heading between wave and wind between −45° and +45° and relative heading between wind and current between −30° and +30°. Extreme mooring analysis and sensitivity analysis are performed for intact and damaged (=one line missing) conditions and the parameters for sensitivity analysis are wave peak period, peak enhancement factor and line pretension. In the viewpoint of the design tension in mooring line, chain diameter is designed to satisfy safety factor for each conditions. As the chain diameter is increased from 152mm to 171mm, the designtension is reduced while the minimum breaking load is increased.

As offshore oil fields move towards the deep ocean, the oil production systems such as FPSO are being built these days. Generally, the FPSO is moored by turret mooring lines to keep the position of FPSO. Thus nonlinear motion analysis of moored FPSO must be carried out in the initial design stage because sea environments affect motion of it. In this paper the mathematical model is based on the slow motion maneuvering equations in the horizontal plane considering wave, current and wind forces. The direct integration method is employed to estimate wave loads. The current forces are calculated by using mathematical model of MMG. The turret mooring forces are quasi-statically evaluated by using the catenary equation. The coefficients of a model for wind forces are calculated from Isherwood's experimental data and the variation of wind speed is estimated by wind spectrum according to the guidelines of API-RP2A. The nonlinear motions of FPSO are simulated under external forces due to wave, current, wind including mooring forces in time domain.

대다수의 부유식 해양플랜트는 위치 유지의 방법으로서 체인 계류 시스템을 사용하나, 그 설계 변경 과정은 논문으로 찾아보기 힘들다. 본 연구는 FLBT를 대상 해양플랜트로 선정하여 계류 초기설계안과 모형시험을 수치해석으로 분석하고, 변경된 설계조건에 따라 새로운 계류 설계안을 제시하였다. 주된 환경 방향에 따라 계류선 묶음(bundle)의 주 방향을 조절하는 것이 계류 설계하중 감소에 크게 유효했다. 터렛 계류된 해양플랜트라도 횡파에 노출되며, 횡파 중 운동 때문에 높은 계류 인장력이 발생했다. 일치된 환경 방향 조건은 설계조건이 될 수 없으며, 바람, 파도, 조류의 각 환경 방향이 복잡한 조건에서 설계 계류 하중이 발생했다. 횡요 운동이 계류 인장력에 미치는 영향이 큼으로 적절한 횡요 감쇠 계수를 계류해석에 적용하는 것이 중요하다.

양식장 해양 레져, 항구 등에서 Calm Sea Area을 필요로 한다. 착저식은 소파효율은 좋으나 해수순환을 방해하여 환경에 좋지 않은 영향을 미치게 된다. 또한 설치비용이나 설치 해역의 한계가 있다. 따라서 이러한 한계들을 극복하기 위해서 부유식 소파구조물을 채택하였다. 본 논문에서는 몇 가지 소파공의 크기를 가지는 반 투과성 부유 소파구조물을 무한수심에서 유체역학적 특성과 소파효율을 계산하였다. 산란문제와 발산문제를 해결하기 위해 선형 포텐셜이론을 사용하여 구조물의 유체역학적 특성을 계산하였다. 적절한 소파공의 크기를 결정함에 따라 소파효율을 향상시킬 수 있다.

This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the motion of an FPSO (Floating production storage and off-loading) and the characteristics of the mooring systejavascript:confirm_mark('abe', '1');m according to the turret position. Model tests of a turret-moored FPSO were carried out in the Ocean Engineering basin of KRISO. The FPSO was moored using an internal turret and catenary mooring. The models (1/60 scale) that were prepared included the FPSO, turret, and mooring lines. The experiments were conducted in irregular waves and combined environments, with waves, currents, and winds. A time-domain simulation was performed using OrcaFlex. The motion response and mooring line tension from the present calculations were compared with the results of experiments, and the agreement was fairly good. In addition, the results showed that the weathervaning stability was improved when the position of the turret was moved in the bow direction.

Typical technical issues associated with Floating LNG (FLNG: FSRU and LNG FPSO) design are categorized in terms of global performance evaluation. Although many proven technologies developed through LNG carrier and oil FPSO projects are available for FLNG design, we are still faced with several technical challenges to clear for successful FLNG projects. In this paper, some of the challenges encountered during development of the floating LNG facility (i.e. LNG FPSO and FSRU) will be reviewed together with their investigated solution. At the same time, research of design improvement including new LNG-related technologies such as combined containment system will be presented to overcome the unrevealed challenges for the FLNG development.
