Title: | HYDRODYNAMICS OF COMPLIANT MODULAR LARGE FLOATING STRUCTURES: A COMPLEX MULTI-BODY SYSTEM | Authors: | ZHANG CHI | Keywords: | Ocean space utilization; Floating structures; Hydrocarbon storage; Hydrodynamic interactions; Multibody system; Fluid resonance | Issue Date: | 18-Aug-2020 | Citation: | ZHANG CHI (2020-08-18). HYDRODYNAMICS OF COMPLIANT MODULAR LARGE FLOATING STRUCTURES: A COMPLEX MULTI-BODY SYSTEM. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | The thesis aims at developing state-of-art experimental and numerical techniques capable of providing a comprehensive understanding of the hydrodynamic properties of novel compliant modular large floating structures and to verify proposed practical technologies for their motion mitigations. A practical framework is developed for the hydrodynamic analysis, comprising three phases of studies to sequentially build up knowledge on the hydrodynamics of a single module, a simplified subsystem of the LFS, and the entire LFS. Each phase covers the design, experiment, and implementation of advanced numerical methods. It is demonstrated by a case study of a floating hydrocarbon storage facility (FHSF). In this thesis, the novel concept of combining the compliant design with modular LFS in coastal waters is developed to a good level with a comprehensive experimental and numerical database constructed. The present work enriches the understanding of the design and hydrodynamics of large complex multibody floating structures. | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/185900 |
