In this study, a newly enhanced Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) model which incorporates mooring lines was used to simulate a floating structure. The model has two parts: a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model and a mooring model. The open-source CFD OpenFOAM® v1712 toolbox was used in the present study, and the convergence criteria and relaxation method were added to the computational procedure used for the OpenFOAM multiphase flow solver, interDyMFoam. A newly enhanced, tightly coupled solver, CoupledinterDyMFoam, was used to decrease the artificial added mass effect, and the results were validated through a series of benchmark cases. The mooring model, based on the finite element method, was established in MATLAB® and was validated against a benchmark analytical elastic catenary solution and numerical results. Finally, a model which simulates a floating structure with mooring lines was successfully constructed by connecting the mooring model to CoupledinterDyMFoam.

최근 액체화물운반선 운송량이 증가함에 따라 국내외에서 해상환적(Ship-to-ship)에 대한 필요성이 대두되고 있다. STS 계류의 경우, 일반적인 부두에서의 계류와 그 특성이 다르기 때문에 다른 기준으로 안전성 검토가 이루어져야 하지만, 국내에서는 별도의 기준이 부재한 상황이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 STS계류의 특성을 파악하기 위해 상용 수치해석프로그램인 OPTIMOOR 프로그램 이용한 STS 계류 시뮬레이션 및 민감도 분석을 시행하였다. 대상해역은 여수항의 D2 정박지를 모델링하였으며, 대상 선박의 모델링은 VLCC-VLCC의 Case로 선정하였다. 이 수치해석과 민감도 분석을 통하여 STS 계류의 특성을 파악하고자 하였으며 이를 바탕으로 STS 계류안전성 평가에 대한 기준을 확립하고자 하였다. 수치해석 시뮬레이션 결과, STS 계류는 선박 재화상태, 기상상태(파주기 및 파고영향) 및 만남각, 그리고 계류삭의 초기장력 등에 따라 변화함을 확인하였다. 또한 Risk Matrix를 작성하여 해당 해역에서의 안전외력범위를 설정하였다. 이 결과를 통해 STS의 계류 특성을 파악할 수 있으며, 계류안전성 평가 기준을 개정에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

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.

Mooring fittings mean various devices and fittings to safely fasten vessels to quays, jetties and sea-floating buoys, etc. They include mooing winches, capstans, chocks, fairleads, guide rollers, bollards, and bitts. Not only the seats and reinforced parts for the installation of fittings but also ropes and chains for mooring and chain stoppers can be also considered. Because of damages to mooring fittings during mooring directly related to large-scale accidents such as the drifting of vessels, mooring fittings with strength appropriate for the physical features of the vessels must be installed. The reinforcement of the vessels on which the mooring fittings are installed must be designed to withstand the loads transferred from the fittings as well. Also mooring fittings with efficient strength should be required because damaged ships lead to sea pollution such as oil or fuel oil spillage. This study has been performed by the Finite Element Method for two aspects of closed chocks which are divided into structure-supporting shapes and working load. In the case of structure-supporting shapes, they have been performed in the field of sheet and bulwark. As for working load, it has been analyzed according to working load direction such as chock's side and below. At first, strength analysis for unique closed chocks has been carried out by using the Finite Element Method, they are applied for the situation when vessels pass by the panama canal. And then the experiment has been done to verify the analyzed date obtained by FEM. The experimental results were found to be similar to the numerical results with up to 16% difference. On the basis of the results obtained, standardization has been carried out by the Finite Element Method for various sizes of closed chocks.

In this paper, a numerical analysis for an internal turret moored vessel located at a 400-m water depth is conducted. The target vessel has an internal turret that is located at the 0.2 Lpp position from the fore-side, with $3{\times}4$ complex mooring lines installed around the turret circumference. To investigate the motion response of the vessel and the structural reliability of the lines, model tests were conducted. The KRISO ocean basin has a water depth of 3.2 m, which represents 192m using a scaling of 1:60. In order to precisely represent the real-scale condition, equivalent mooring lines needed to be designed. Truncated mooring lines were designed to supplement the restriction of the flume's water depth and increase the reliability of the model testing. These truncated mooring lines were composed of two different chains in order to match the pre-tension, simultaneously restoring the curve and variation in the effective line tension. The static similarities were compared using a static pull-out test and free decaying test, and the dynamic similarities were matched via a regular wave test and combined environments test. Consequently, the designed truncated mooring system could represent the prototype mooring system relatively well in the aspects of kinematics and dynamics.

For a spread-moored FPSO (Floating Production, Storage, & Off-loading) subjected to environmental excitation from waves, current, and wind, a procedure to determine optimum length and stiffness of mooring lines is suggested using quasi-static frequency domain response analyses. Coupled relations between design parameters are closely examined. In consideration of this, optimized design parameters are proposed based on minimum weight condition. The initial design parameters for numerical analyses are calculated using the static catenary equation of mooring lines. It is demonstrated the line tension and vessel's offset are influenced by the mooring line length and stiffness. Accordingly it is suggested the optimum vessel's offset range should be determined considering line fatigue damage. The availability and limitation of the application of quasi-static analysis method for spread mooring system are explained by comparing the result of time domain analysis with one of frequency domain analysis.

The mooring lines of a floating type offshore plant are known to show wide banded and bimodal responses. These phenomena come from a combination of low and high frequency random load components, which are derived from the drift-restoring motion characteristic and wind- sea, respectively. In this study, fatigue models were applied to predict the fatigue damage of mooring lines under those loads, and the result were compared. For this purpose, seven different fatigue damage prediction models were reviewed, including mathematical formula. A FPSO (floating, production, storage, and offloading) with a $4{\times}4$ spread catenary mooring system was selected as a numerical model, which was already installed at an offshore area of West Africa. Four load cases with different combinations of wave and wind spectra were considered, and the fatigue damage to each mooring line was estimated. The rain flow fatigue damage for the time process of the mooring tension response was compared with the results estimated by all the fatigue damage prediction models. The results showed that both Benasciutti-Tovo and JB models could most accurately predict wide banded bimodal fatigue damage to a mooring system.

Unlike typical a dynamic positioning (DP) system, a DP-assisted mooring system must determine a set point (SP) that can ensure a mooring tension safety range to prevent an excessive increase in mooring tension. In this paper, a new algorithm for determining the SP is suggested in order to reduce the tension on all the mooring lines. To determine the SP, a working area around the vessel is represented by a rectangular grid. Thus, the size of the grid area is limited considering the offset of a vessel with a mooring system. At each grid's nodes, the resultant tension from all the mooring lines is estimated using the time history of the tension and vessel's position. The results of static analyses for each grid position are used to estimate the global tension. Consequently, the SP is automatically selected as a position satisfying criterion for minimizing the total tension. In order to validate the suggested algorithm, a motion simulation with the control system in the time domain and a discussion of the results are presented.
