Motion Simulation of Underwater Mooring Platform with Ocean Current

Abstract:

Underwater mooring platforms which anchored by the anchor and cable have a certain function of the platform mooring at a certain depth. In this paper, the motion model of underwater mooring system was built through analyseing the motion characteristics of the cable geometry and the force of the cable. And the motion simulation of underwater mooring platform with ocean current was done. The results show that the motion of underwater mooring platform is stable.
