Investigation on Hydrodynamic Performance of a Turret Moored FPSO byUsing Hybrid Model Test Technique

摘要

The experimental study and theoretical calculation on the hydrodynamicrnperformance of a turret moored FPSO in water depth of 375m arerncarried out. The hybrid model test technique and the time domainrnsimulation method are employed. The calculated and measured resultsrnare analyzed and compared for the statistical characteristics, spectrum,rnand RAO of the hydrodynamic response. The agreement betweenrncalculation and model test is good. Finally, the hydrodynamic responsernof the FPSO with full-depth mooring system under several environmentsrnis predicted.
