چکیده

Aimed at wave load computation of floating hose, the paper analyzes the morphologic and mechanical characteristics of offshore hose by establishing the partially immersed cylender model, and points out that the results of existing Morison equation to calculate the wave loads of floating hose is not precise enough. Consequently, the improved Morison equation has been put forward based on its principle. Classical series offshore pipeline has been taken as example which applied in the water area of different depth. The wave loads of pipeline by using the improved Morison equation and compared the calculation results with the existing Morison equation. Calculations for wave loads on pipelines in different depth were accomplished and compared by the improved Morison equation and the existing Morison equation. Results show that the improved Morison equation optimizes the accuracy of the computation of wave load on floating hose. Thus it is more suitable for analyzing the effects of wave loads on floating hose and useful for mechanic analysis of offshore pipeline.

A Theory of Nonlinear Wave Loading on Offshore Structures

A theoretical study is made of the nonlinear wave loading on offshore structures using the diffraction theory of hydrodynamics. A nonlinear modification of the classical Morison equation, D F + FD for estimating wave forces on offshore structures is suggested in this paper. The modified equation is found in the form D F% + Fn% + D where Fn -= Fd + F + F is the nonlinear contriw q bution made up...

Wave propagation theory in offshore applications

A frequency-wavenumber-domain formulation is presented in this paper for calculation of the Green's functions and wave propagation modes in a stratified fluid body underlain by a layered viscoelastic soil medium. The Green's functions define the solid and fluid displacements and fluid pressures due to uniform disk loads acting in either the soil or fluid media. The solution is in the frequency ...

DEVELOPING A FORMULA TO REPRESENT THE SECOND-ORDER WAVE EFFECTS ON MOORED FLOATING STRUCTURES

The effects of wave direction, frequency and the waterline shape of floating structures on the wave mean drift force formula have been considered separately by several authors but there isn't a general formula to take into account all of these effects. In this regard, Faltinsen’s wave drift force formula has been modified by adding finite draft coefficient. The results obtained from this formu...
