Research on Time-Domain Dynamic Response of Tension Leg Platform in Regular Wave

Abstract:

Move performance in six-degree-of-freedom is one of the important indexes of hydro-dynamic property of tension leg platform (TLP). This paper discusses the time domain dynamic response characteristics of a tension leg platform in the regular wave. The paper focuses on the effects of the incident wave angles (15 °, 22.5 ° and 45 °), the wave height (6m, 8m and 10m) and the wave period (10s, 12s and 14s) on the movement of tension leg platform, the top tension of the tension leg. The results show that: because of the different sensitivity of the tension leg platform to the incident wave angle, the wave height and the wave period, the motion characteristics is different.
