In this study, the capability of an existing analysis method for the fluid-structure-soil interaction of an offshore wind turbine is expanded to account for the geometric nonlinearity and sea water drag force. The geometric stiffness is derived to take care of the large displacement due to the deformation of the tower structure and the rotation of the footing foundation utilizing linearized stability analysis theory. Linearizing the term in Morison's equation concerning the drag force, its effects are considered. The developed analysis method is applied to the earthquake response analysis of a 5 MW offshore wind turbine. Parameters which can influence dynamic behaviors of the system are identified and their significance are examined.

This paper explores a series of numerical simulations of dynamic responses of multi-piles (dolphin) type substructures for 2.5MW class offshore wind turbine. Firstly computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation was performed to evaluate wave loads on the dolphin type substructures with the design wave condition for the west-south region of Korea. Numerical wave tank (NWT) based on CFD was adopted to generate numerically a progressive regular wave using a virtual piston type wave maker. It was found that the water-piercing area of piles of the substructure is a key parameter determining the wave load exerted in horizontal direction. In the next the dynamic structural responses of substructure members under the wave load were calculated using finite element analysis (FEA). In the FEA approach, the dynamic structural responses were able to be calculated including a deformable body effect of substructure members when wave load on each member was determined by Morison's formula. The paper numerically identifies dynamic response characteristics of dolphin type substructures for 2.5MW class offshore wind turbine.

본 논문에서는 해상 부유식 풍력타워의 동역학 모델링이 제시되고, 다양한 해상환경하중인 풍하중, 파랑하중을 모델링하여 플랫폼의 동적 거동해석을 수행하였다. 풍하중을 모델링하기 위해 풍속은 높이에 따라 변하도록 고려하였고, 파랑하중은 상대운동 모리슨방정식을 이용하여 모델링 하였다. 동적 거동해석을 위해 동역학해석프로그램인 ADAMS 를 이용하였다. 부유식 플랫폼에 많이 쓰이는 tension leg platform 의 네 가지 타입에 대해 동적 거동특성을 비교하였다.

圓形 파일에 작용하는 卷波性 碎波力은 쇄파제원과 동일한 正弦波를를 대상으로 한 모리슨식의 계산치보다 그 크기는 월등 크나 보통 백분의 수초 이내의 매우 짧은 시간 동안 작용한다. 따라서, 碎波力을 받는 파일의 설계에서 파일의 變位를 정확히 결정하기 위해서는 쇄파력 작용에 의한 動的擧動을 해석하여야 한다. 이를 위해서는 파일 延長上 쇄파력의 시게열에 대한 事前정보가 필요하며, 이는 파일 주변의 碎波壓 시계열로부터 간접적으로 추정할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 卷波性 碎波의 작용에 따른 쇄파압의 특성을 정량적으로 고찰하기 위하여 實海域에 설치되어 잇는 원형파일에 波壓計를 부착하여 쇄파압을 관측하고 그 결과를 제시하였다.

Recently, artificial rocks, instead of buoys, have been placed on the submerged breakwater to indicate its location. The accurate estimation of wave forces on these rocks is deemed necessary for their stability design. Characteristics of the wave force, however, are expected . to be very complicated because of the occurrence of breaking or post-breaking waves. In this regard, wave forces exerted on an artificial rock have been investigated in this paper. The maximum wave force has been found to strongly dependent on the location and shape of the artificial rock that is placed on the submerged breakwater. The plunging breaker occurs near the loading cram edge of a submerged breakwater, which cause impulsive breaking wave force on the rock. Using the Morison equation, with the velocity and acceleration at the front face of the artificial rock and varying water surface level, it is possible to estimate wave forces, even impulsive breaking wave forces, that are acting on the rock installed on a submerged breakwater. The vertical wave force is also found to depend, significantly, on the buoyant force.

The tension leg platform (TLP) is a vertically moored structure with excess buoyancy. The TLP is regarded as moored structure in horizontal plan, while inherit stiffness of fixed platform in vertical plane. In this paper, a numerical study using modified Morison equation was carried out in the time domain to investigate the influence of nonlinearities due to hydrodynamic forces and the coupling effect between surge, sway, heave, roll, pitch and yaw degrees of freedom on the dynamic behavior of TLP's. The stiffness of the TLP was derived from a combination of hydrostatic restoring forces and restoring forces due to cables and the nonlinear equations of motion were solved utilizing Newmark's beta integration scheme. The effect of tethers length and wave characteristics such as wave period and wave height on the response of TLP's was evaluated. Only uni-directional waves in the surge direction was considered in the analysis. It was found that for short wave periods (i.e. 10 sec.), the surge response consisted of small amplitude oscillations about a displaced position that is significantly dependent on tether length, wave height; whereas for longer wave periods, the surge response showed high amplitude oscillations about that is significantly dependent on tether length.

해저지하자원개발시 사용되는 riser의 파랑하중에 대한 구조해석방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 본 논문에서 비교 연구한 방법들은 규칙파를 이용한 정력학적해법, 규칙파 및 불규칙파를 이용한 시간영역에서의 동력학적해법과 두가지의 다른 선형화기법을 이용한 주파수영역에서의 동적해법이다. 구조해석은 길이가 다른 두 개의 Riser를 예로 하여 수행되었으며, 이때 유한요소법에 의한 구조모형이 사용되었다. 연구결과 종래의 규칙파에 의한 정력학적해법은 가장 정확한 불규칙파에 의한 동력학적해법에 비하면, 부재의 최대응력은 대소 크게 예측하지만, Riser 운영상 중요한 인자인 하단각도를 상당히 작게 산정하는 경향을 보여 사용에 주의를 요함을 보였다.

The platform and floating structure of spar type offshore wind turbine systems should be designed in order for the 6-DOF motions to be minimized, considering diverse loading environments such as the ocean wave, wind, and current conditions. The objective of this study is to optimally design the platform and substructure of a 3MW spar type wind turbine system with the maximum postural stability in 6-DOF motions as well as the minimum material cost. Therefore, design variables of the platform and substructure were first determined and then optimized by a hydrodynamic analysis. For the hydrodynamic analysis, the body weight of the system was considered, and the ocean wave conditions were quantified to the wave forces using the Morison's equation. Moreover, the minimal number of computation analysis models was generated by the Design of Experiments (DOE), and the design variables of the platform and substructure were finally optimized by using a genetic algorithm with a neural network approximation.

The importance of the impact force on the vertical offshore circular structure member in the surf zone due to the breaking wave has been recognized recently. In this paper characteristics of breaking wave forces and the corresponding estimation procedures for them are investigated. For the characterization of the wave forces, three parts, drag force, inertia force, impact force are categorized and identified, respectively. Among them the impact force is maimly studied and the concise form of the force is proposed with the application scheme for the design of offshore circular structure member. The resulting form porposed here for impact force is well coincided with former research results by other people. Except the impact force, so called Morison equation can be employed for the common offshore structure design. The drag force and inertia force are represented as convertionally for the profile except the breaking part. In the numerical example, for thpical sea condition and the member size, the proposed procedures for the breaking wave forces calculation are demonstrated. It is found that the impact force is the most deminant one comparing with inertia and drag forces in the surf zone.

A reliability analysis of the gravity-based foundation of anoffshore wind turbine was performed by considering the uncertainties of the design variables, including environmental loads. The limit state functions of the gravity-based foundation were defined using the response limits of the support structures suggested in the DNV standard. The wind load couldbe obtained using the GH_bladed software, and the wave load was calculated using the Morison equation. Then, the extreme distributions of the wind and wave loads were estimated by applying the peak over threshold (POT) method to the wind and wave load data. The probability distribution characteristics of the soil properties were defined with reference to a southwest coast geotechnical survey report. The reliability index was evaluated for each failure mode using a first-order reliability method.
