An optimization framework using genetic algorithms has been developed towards an automated parametric optimization of the Octabuoy semi-submersible design. Compared with deep draft production units, the design of the shallow draught Octabuoy semi-submersible provides a floating system with improved motion characteristics, being less susceptible to vortex induced motions in loop currents. The relatively large water plane area results in a decreased natural heave period, which locates the floater in the wave period range with more wave energy. Considering this, the hull design of Octabuoy semi-submersible has been optimized to improve the floater's motion performance. The optimization has been conducted with optimized parameters of the pontoon's rectangular cross section area, the cone shaped section's height and diameter. Through numerical evaluations of both the 1st-order and 2nd-order hydrodynamics, the optimization through genetic algorithms has been proven to provide improved hydrodynamic performance, in terms of heave and pitch motions. This work presents a meaningful framework as a reference in the process of floating system's design.

The Three-dimensional (3-D) dynamical behaviors of a fluid-conveying pipe subjected to vortex-induced vibration are investigated with different internal flow velocity ${\nu}$. The values of the internal flow velocity are considered in both subcritical and supercritical regimes. During the study, the 3-D nonlinear equations are discretized by the Galerkin method and solved by a fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. The results indicate that for a constant internal flow velocity ${\nu}$ in the subcritical regime, the peak Cross-flow (CF) amplitude increases firstly and then decrease accompanied by amplitude jumps with the increase of the external reduced velocity. While two response bands are observed in the In-line (IL) direction. For the dynamics in the lock-in condition, 3-D periodic, quasi-periodic and chaotic vibrations are observed. A variety of CF and IL responses can be detected for different modes with the increase of ${\nu}$. For the cases studied in the supercritical regime, the dynamics shows a great diversity with that in the subcritical regime. Various dynamical responses, which include 3-D periodic, quasi-periodic as well as chaotic motions, are found while both CF and IL responses are coupled while ${\nu}$ is beyond the critical value. Besides, the responses corresponding to different couples of ${\mu}_1$ and ${\mu}_2$ are obviously distinct from each other.

잠재된 평판 방파제가 해수 교환에 미치는 영향을 실험적으로 조사하였고 그 결과를 제시한다. 흐름은 PIV 시스템으로 관측되었으며 조화분석으로부터 분리된 평균 흐름과 파랑 타원이 각각 제시된다. 실험결과, 순환유량은 입사파의 체적플럭스와 밀접한 관계가 있으며 쌍와류가 평판 후면에서 관측되었다. 염료추적에 의하면 평판위에서 발생된 제트류로 인한 난류의 영향으로 유입되는 해수와 항내 오염물질이 상당히 잘 섞이고 있음을 보여주고 있다.

Floating wind turbines have been suggested as a feasible solution for going further offshore into deeper waters. However, floating platforms cause additional unsteady motions induced by wind and wave conditions, so that it is difficult to predict annual energy output of wind turbines by using conventional power prediction method. That is because sectional inflow condition on a rotor plane is varied by unsteady motion of floating platforms. Therefore, aerodynamic simulation using Vortex Lattice Method(VLM) were used to investigate the influence of motion on the aerodynamic performance of a floating offshore wind turbine. Simulation with individual motion of offshore platform were compared to the case of onshore platform and carried out according to the wave height and the wave angular frequency.

Failure of tube bundles due to excessive flow-induced vibrations continues to affect the performance of nuclear power plant Early experimental studies concentrated on rigid structures and later investigators dealt with elastic structures because of their importance in many engineering fields. On the other hand, much less numerical work has been carried out, because of the numerical complexity associated with the problem. Conventional approaches usually decoupled the flow solution from the structural problem. The present numerical study proposes the methodology in analyzing the fluidelastic instability occurring in tube bundles by coupling the Computational fluid Dynamics (C%) with the tube equation of motions. The motion of the structures is modeled by a spring-damper-mass system that allows transnational motion in two directions (a two-degree-of-freedom system). The fluid motion and the cylinder response are solved in an iterative way, so that the interaction between the fluid and the structure can be accounted for property. The aim of the present work is to predict the fluidelstic instability of tube bundles and the associated phenomena, such as the response of the cylinder, the unsteady lift and drag on the cylinder, the vortex shedding frequency.

The subsea power cables are increasingly important for harvesting renewable energies as we develop offshore wind farms located at a long distance from shore. Particularly, the continuous flexural motion of inter-array dynamic power cable of floating offshore wind turbine causes tremendous fatigue damages on the cable. As the subsea power cable consists of the helical structures with various components unlike a mooring line and a steel pipe riser, the fatigue analysis of the cables should be performed using special procedures that consider stick/slip phenomenon. This phenomenon occurs between inner helically wound components when they are tensioned or compressed by environmental loads and the floater motions. In particular, Vortex-induced vibration (VIV) can be generated by currents and have significant impacts on the fatigue life of the cable. In this study, the procedure for VIV fatigue analysis of the dynamic power cable has been established. Additionally, the respective roles of programs employed and required inputs and outputs are explained in detail. Demonstrations of case studies are provided under severely sheared currents to investigate the influences on amplitude variations of dynamic power cables caused by the excitation of high mode numbers. Finally, sensitivity studies have been performed to compare dynamic cable design parameters, specifically, structural damping ratio, higher order harmonics, and lift coefficients tables. In the future, one of the fundamental assumptions to assess the VIV response will be examined in detail, namely a narrow-banded Gaussian process derived from the VIV amplitudes. Although this approach is consistent with current industry standards, the level of consistency and the potential errors between the Gaussian process and the fatigue damage generated from deterministic time-domain results are to be confirmed to verify VIV fatigue analysis procedure for slender marine structures.

주기적으로 요동하는 외부유동에 의해 생성되는 캐버티 주위의 2차원 천수유동은 수치적으로 연구하였다. 실험결과와 비교하기 위해 T형의 용기모델을 수치적으로 계산하여 만들었다. 수치계산에서는 캐버티의 종횡비가 전체적인 유동패턴에 크게 영향을 끼치지 않고 종횡비 2에서는 캐버티의 깊은 부분에 정체된 유동형태가 생성되는 것을 제시한다. 높은 레이놀즈 수에서 유동을 가시화 시켰을 때 나다나지 않았던 많은 와류들이 유동장을 특성화 시키고 있다. 외부지역에서의 물질전달은 실험에서 나타난 입자궤적과 잘 일치한다. 캐버티의 외부지역에 위치한 두쌍의 와류가 규모가 큰 시계방향과 반시계방향의 순환유동을 발생시키는 원인이 되는 것이 증명된 셈이다.

f-plane 혹은 $\beta$-plane을 갖고 강체 회전중인 균질수에 외부로부터 고밀도의 유체 를 계속 주입시 주입된 고밀도 류의 확장형태와 이와 대응하는 기존의 균질수(상층수) 의 흐름을 관찰하였다. 고밀도류는 주입후 편향력에 의해 서안을 따라 흐르면서 내부 로 침투 확장하여 회전축에 비대칭인 모양을 보인다. 특히 $\beta$-plan에서는 바닥 경사도 의 증가에 따른 압력 경도력의 증가에 의한 서안을 따라 흐르는 속도가 증가되고 결국 편향력의 증가로 서안에서의 폭이 f-plane보다 좁게 나타난다. 그러나 남쪽에 이르러 서는 유입수의 국지적인 두께증가로 인해 확장 속도가 동시에 경계면상에서 의 혼합을 유발시키기도 한다. 유입된 고밀도류의 상층의 와도발생과 관련한 역할은 확장경로상 의 국지적인 지형효과의 유발과 유입으로 인한 상층수의 수직운동, 즉 vortex-tube stretching 효과를 발생시키는 것으로 볼 수 있으나 f-plane의 경우는 후자에 해당하 는 반시계 방향의 축대칭류를 생성시킴으로써 지형효과는 서안 경계층에만 존재하는 것으로 관찰되었으며 이때의 지형효과는 북향의 매우 약한 서안 경계류로 나타나고 있 다. 한편 $\beta$-plan에서 의 유입수의 역할은 실험면적의 동쪽반인 내부흐름에서는 h보다 는 dh/SUB $\beta$/dt의 크기가 우세하여 결국 상대와도의 감소경향인 시계방향의 음의 와 도(negative vorticity)의 발생과 서쪽반에서는 경계면의 경사 (tilting)에 의한 지형 효과가 극대화되어 유입수의 방향과 정반대인 강한 흐름이 나타나고 있다.
