초심해역 자원개발용 라이저와 계류된 부유체와의 연성해석을 수행한다. 일반적으로 라이저의 안전성은 부유체와의 연성해석 없이 최대 offset을 고려한 해석을 통해 보수적으로 평가되는데, 본 연구에서는 계류된 부유체의 연성 운동해석을 고려하여 라이저의 안전성을 분석한다. 라이저는 초심해역에 적용되는 SLWR이 고려되며, 부유체는 FPSO가 적용된다. 연성을 고려하는 방법과 고려하지 않는 방법론에 대하여 제시한다. 계류선이 모두 안전한 정상상태(Intact) 조건과 사고(damaged) 조건을 고려하여, 각 조건에서 파랑 입사각도에 따라 연성해석 효과를 분석한다. 하중 조건에 따라 계류선의 장력, 부유체의 운동 및 라이저의 거동 등을 분석한다.

In this study, the numerical code for the 3D nonlinear dynamic analysis of an SLWR (Steel Lazy Wave Riser) was developed using the lumped mass line model in a FORTRAN environment. Because the lumped mass line model is an explicit method, there is no matrix operation. Thus, the numerical algorithm is simple and fast. In the lumped mass line model, the equations of motion for the riser were derived by applying the various forces acting on each node of the line. The applied forces at the node of the riser consisted of the tension, shear force due to the bending moment, gravitational force, buoyancy force, riser/ground contact force, and hydrodynamic force based on the Morison equation. Time integration was carried out using a Runge-Kutta fourth-order method, which is known to be stable and accurate. To validate the accuracy of the developed numerical code, simulations using the commercial software OrcaFlex were carried out simultaneously and compared with the results of the developed numerical code. To understand the nonlinear dynamic characteristics of an SLWR, dynamic simulations of SLWRs excited at the hang-off point and of SLWRs in regular waves were carried out. From the results of these dynamic simulations, the displacements at the maximum bending moments at important points of the design, like the hang-off point, sagging point, hogging points, and touch-down point, were observed and analyzed.

This paper presents an estimation method for the static configuration of a steel lazy wave riser (SLWR) using the dynamic relaxation method applied to estimate the configuration of structures with strong geometric non-linearity. The lumped mass model is introduced to reflect the flexible structural characteristics of the riser. In the lumped mass model, the tensions, shear forces, buoyancy, self-weights, and seabed reaction forces at nodal points are considered in order to find the static configuration of the SLWR. The dynamic relaxation method using a viscous damping formulation is applied to the static configuration analysis. Fictitious masses are defined at nodal points using the sum of the largest direct stiffness values of nodal points to ensure the numerical stability. Various case studies were performed according to the bending stiffness and size of the buoyancy module using the dynamic relaxation method. OrcaFlex was employed to validate the accuracy of the developed numerical method.
