Model Tests Research on A Float-Over Barge in Shallow Water Under the Undocking Conditions

摘要

In this study,the Jinzhou 9-3 CEPD float-over installation project was investigated.During the undocking condition,the water depth of the motion path of the working barge gradually changed from 10.31 m to 9.41 m.The undocking clearance of the HYSY 228 is smaller than 1 m;therefore,the barge shows highly nonlinear hydrodynamic characteristics,and it is difficult to be accurately simulated by numerical analysis.Thus,it is necessary to obtain the hydrodynamic characteristics and laws of the float-over barge at different water depths by using tank model test,to provide some reference and guidance for float-over operations in shallow water.
