  • The nonlinear time-domain analysis method was implemented to carry out a series of integrated simulations for a deep-water crane vessel system composed of four sub components, including a floating vessel, lifted equipment, hoisting cable and dynamic positioning (hereinafter DP) system. The analysis of the coupled dynamics consists of the crane vessel and equipment connected using the crane wire, and the DP is modeled according to the wind, wave and current conditions. The DP systems were numerically implemented using a classical PD feedback controller, and various simulations of the deepwater installation were conducted using different conditions in order to evaluate the global performance of the floating crane vessel combined with the DP system.

  • 대형 시추구조물의 건조는 보통 드라이도크에서 하거나, 해양에서 선체와 데크를 접합하는 방법을 사용한다. 그러나 적당한 해양 접합장소가 없거나 드라이도크의 공간부족으로 현대중공업에서는 드라이도크나 해양에서의 접합건조 대신 부유식 시추구조물을 지상에서 조립하는 방법을 채택하게 되었다. 현대중공업에서는 세 가지 단계를 통해 지상 데크조립을 수행하였다. 첫 번째는 네 개의 철골구조 리프팅타워 상에서 유압리프팅시스템을 이용하여 데크를 지상으로부터 38m 들어올린다. 두 번째는 마찰을 줄이기 위해 윤활제가 칠해진 합성 플라스틱으로 싸인 미끄럼틀(Skidway)을 이용하여 두 개의 6000톤 짜리 하부구조를 데크 아래로 끌어 들인다. 마지막 단계로 데크와 하부구조를 단단히 결합시킨다. 이 과정에 2주일이 소요되었으며 일련의 작업을 거쳐 중량 25,500톤급의 Deepwater Nautilus (RBS-8M) 시추선을 무사히 바다 위로 인도하였다. RBS-8M의 데크결합에 Super Lift를 적용하여 성공시킨 사례를 통해 현대중공업의 초대형 시추구조물 건조방식이 이상적이고, 작업 공기나 원가 측면에서 우위가 있음을 시사하고 있으며 이렇게 건조작업의 대부분을 지상에서 수행한 과정을 통해 작업관리, 품질관리, 일정관리에도 좋은 결과를 가져올 수 있었다.

  • The aim of this study was estimated the characteristics of the wave propagation by the water level conditions using a numerical modeling method at the Wando sea area. For three cases numerical simulation on the condition of incident and incoming of the deepwater design wave and the season normal wave, the spatial distribution of the incident wave at study area were investigated. And the calculated numerical modeling results were compared with measured field wave data. According to on-site wave data measured for 18 days, the range of the significant wave height and period were 0.10~1.14 m, 4.35~8.74 sec, respectively, and the maximum wave height were 0.15~1.66 m. From the results of numerical model for offshore design wave incident, the wave height attacked from Southern-East direction at this study area were over maximum 10.5 m because of rapidly change of water depth. Numerical modeling by three water level conditions of Approxmate Lowest Low Water Level(Approx. L.L.W), Mean Sea Level(M.S.L) and Approximate Highest High Water Level(Approx. H.H.W) were practiced. From the results for the case of Approx. H.W.L, variations of wave height at the back area of islands were about 1.6 m at maximum value for the case of deepwater design wave incoming. The significant wave heights of winter season were bigger than summer under normal wave condition, the incident wave height over 5.5 m decreased by shielding effect of islands. The change of maximum wave height at summer season were distinct than winter and was about 1.2 m and 0.8 m, respectively.

  • The sliding stability of monolithic vertical caisson of composite breakwaters is quantitatively analyzed by using a reliability model, FMA of Level II, in order to study the variation of sliding failure of caisson due to the occurrence of extreme waves exceeded deepwater design wave. The reliability index and several parameters in the wave pressure formula are inter- related to find out the effects of extreme wave exceeded design wave on the sliding failure of vertical monolithic caisson. The sliding failure of caisson seems to be largely increased as the heights and periods of extreme waves exceeded design wave increase, also depends directly on the water depth in front of the composite breakwaters. From the numerical simulations carried out with several kinds of extreme waves exceeded design wave which are assumed to be occurred during the service periods of breakwater, it is found that the effects of the wave height on the sliding failure of caisson may be more dominant than those of wave periods and angles of wave incidence.

  • Compliant Vertical Access Risers (CVARs) are compliant systems that incorporate a differentiated geometric configuration that allows the exploitation of oil and gas in deepwater fields and enables a number of operational advantages in the offshore system. One of the main features of CVAR systems is that they allow direct intervention procedures to be applied to the well bore, enabling workover operations to be performed directly from the production platform. Based on the principles of virtual work and variation, a static geometric nonlinear equation of CVARs is derived and applied in this study. The results of this study show that the two ends of the riser as well as the transition region are subject to high stress, while the positions of the floating platform exert significant effects on the geometry of the riser configuration. Compliance and buoyancy factors should be set moderately to reduce the CVAR stress. In addition, the buoyancy modules should be placed in the lower region, in order to maximize the operation advantages of CVAR.

  • In meeting the technical needs for deepwater conditions and overcoming the shortfalls of single-layer pipes for deepwater applications, pipe-in-pipe (PIP) systems have been developed. While, for PIP pipelines directly laid on the seabed or with partial embedment, one of the primary service risks is lateral buckling. The critical axial force is a key factor governing the global lateral buckling response that has been paid much more attention. It is influenced by global imperfections, submerged weight, stiffness, pipe-soil interaction characteristics, et al. In this study, Finite Element Models for imperfect PIP systems are established on the basis of 3D beam element and tube-to-tube element in Abaqus. A parameter study was conducted to investigate the effects of these parameters on the critical axial force and post-buckling forms. These parameters include structural parameters such as imperfections, clearance, and bulkhead spacing, pipe/soil interaction parameter, for instance, axial and lateral friction properties between pipeline and seabed, and load parameter submerged weight. Python as a programming language is been used to realize parametric modeling in Abaqus. Some conclusions are obtained which can provide a guide for the design of PIP pipelines.

  • In the present study, the advanced procedure has been proposed to estimate higher accuracy of embedment of pipes that are installed on soft clay seabed. Numerical simulation by OrcaFlex simulation code was performed to investigate dynamic seabed embedment, and two steps, i.e., static and dynamic analysis, were adopted. In total, four empirical curves were developed to estimate the seabed embedment including dynamic phenomena, i.e., behaviour of vessel, environmental condition, and behaviour of nonlinear soil. The obtained results were compared with existing methods (named general method) such as design code or guideline to examine the difference of seabed embedment for existing and advance methods. Once this process was carried out for each case, a diagram for estimating seabed embedment was established. The applicability of the proposed method was verified through applied examples with field survey data. This method will be very useful in predicting seabed embedment on soft clay, and the structural behaviours of installed subsea pipelines can be changed by the obtained seabed embedment in association with on-bottom stability, free span, and many others.

  • 항주파에 의해 해안침식, 호안 결괴, 하역곤란 및 어선 등을 포함한 소형선박의 동요가 발생하며, 심지어 최근에는 수상오토바이, 모터보트 및 여객선의 고속주행은 해수욕장의 수영객 및 낚시꾼 등 어로작업중인 어민에게 위협이 되고 있다. 특히, 천해역에서 발생한 항주파는 심해역에서 발생한 항주파보다 연안시설 또는 작업인원의 안전에 더 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있으며, 파고는 천해역에서 발생하여 극천해역으로 진행하는 경우, 천해역 파고의 1.8배정도로 커진다. 또한 극천해역에 약간의 흐름이 존재하여도 파는 진행하지 못한다.

  • 다양한 파랑 관측 및 후측 자료를 이용하여 한국 연안의 심해파 통계 특성을 연구하였다. 설계파에 준하는 큰 파랑에 대해서는, 유의파고와 유의파주기 사이의 관계에 대하여 1977년 Shore Protection Manual 공식과 2003년 Goda 공식의 평균값을 사용하는 것이 바람직하다. 일정한 유의파고에 대하여 평균값으로 무차원화 시킨 유의파주기의 표준편차는 해역과 유의파고의 범위에 따라 0.04부터 0.21까지 변하며 전형적인 값은 0.1이다. 한반도 주변 106개 연안 격자점에서의 심해 주파향의 평균과 표준편차를 제시하였다. 비교적 큰 파랑에 대한 방향분산계수 $s_{max}$의 확률밀도함수는 대수정규분포로 표시된다. 우리나라 연안에서 가장 적합한 주파수 스펙트럼은 TMA 스펙트럼이다. 스펙트럼 첨두증대계수 $\gamma$의 확률밀도함수 또한 대수정규분포로 표시되며, 북해에서의 값과 비슷한 2.94의 평균값을 보인다.
