Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of deep - sea anchoring simulation, and particularly relates to a modeling and analysis method applicable to a large - holding - power anchor group system. Background Art
[0002] With the utilization of deep - sea resources and the development of deep - sea space, the mooring systems of large - scale offshore floating platforms such as offshore floating wind power platforms, offshore oil and gas exploitation platforms, offshore airports, and artificial floating islands have become key technologies. As the operating water depth continues to increase, catenary mooring systems have been widely used, and higher requirements have been put forward for the bearing capacity and deep - water installation performance of the anchoring structures in catenary mooring systems.
[0003] Currently, the existing typical deep - water anchoring structures include suction anchors, drag - embedded plate anchors, suction - embedded plate anchors, and gravity - penetrated anchors; as a type of drag - embedded plate anchor, the large - holding - power anchor is suitable for the widely used semi - submersible offshore platforms with its bearing characteristics, providing a bottom - layer positioning basis for fields such as offshore wind power, oil and gas, and hydrogen production. When the bearing capacity requirement reaches more than 10000 kN, the bearing efficiency of the large - holding - power anchor exceeds that of the suction anchor, which can reduce the cost of the anchoring structure and is one of the most promising deep - sea mooring anchoring forms at present.
[0004] The large - holding - power anchor is installed by being towed by a mooring anchor chain. Under the reverse catenary action of the mooring anchor chain, it gradually embeds into the seabed and reaches the designed embedment depth position to exert its bearing capacity and provide a positioning function for the upper - layer offshore floating platform. However, in actual production activities, with the increasing scale of offshore floating platforms, the demand for bearing capacity has increased rapidly. The above - mentioned large - holding - power anchor has problems such as insufficient bearing capacity and shallow embedment depth in soft seabed soil, which affect the positioning stability and reliability of offshore floating platforms in soft - soil sea areas; moreover, the above - mentioned large - holding - power anchor has problems such as difficult - to - predict downward embedding trajectories, and the large - holding - power anchor has a large size, resulting in high labor and material costs for on - site tests. In addition, the above - mentioned large - holding - power anchor has problems such as complex numerical simulation modeling and replacing dynamic anchor chain tension with constant anchor chain tension, which interfere with the design and judgment of the downward embedding and bearing capacity of such large - holding - power anchors in engineering practice. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the above - mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a modeling and analysis method applicable to a large - holding - power anchor group system, which can improve the predictability of the downward embedding behavior of the large - holding - power anchor group system, enhance the accuracy of numerical simulation, and can accurately depict the anchor chain tension received by the mooring anchor chain that changes in real time, as well as the spatial forms of the mooring anchor chain and the connecting anchor chain and the transmitted tension, reduce the complexity of finite - element model modeling, and improve the calculation efficiency.

[0084] Preferably, a front first toothed plate is provided at the left part of the front end of the front large-grip anchor plate 101 and a front second toothed plate is provided at the right part of the front end, so that the front large-grip anchor 1 forms a front double-toothed large-grip anchor.
[0085] Preferably, a rear first outer toothed plate, a rear first inner toothed plate, a rear second inner toothed plate and a rear second outer toothed plate are sequentially provided at the front end of the rear large-grip anchor plate 201 from left to right, so that the rear large-grip anchor 2 forms a rear four-toothed large-grip anchor.
[0086] In the present invention, by establishing a physical model 301 of several sections of the mooring anchor chain body, the loading angle at the anchor chain tension application point 303 at the front end of the mooring anchor chain physical model is calculated by using the mooring anchor chain equation. The anchor chain tension is applied to the anchor chain tension application point 303, replacing the finite element modeling of the complete mooring anchor chain 3, greatly reducing the modeling length of the finite element model of the mooring anchor chain 3 and greatly reducing the overall model calculation cost. The anchor chain tension is transmitted by the connecting anchor chain physical model to realize the application of the towing force to the physical model of the large-grip anchor group system. On the premise of retaining the spatial form, force transmission characteristics and calculation accuracy during the towing process of the mooring anchor chain 3 and the connecting anchor chain 4, the modeling and calculation efficiency of the finite element model is improved, and the motion trajectory curve of the physical model of the large-grip anchor group system is obtained accurately.
[0087] In summary, the present invention not only simplifies the complexity of the finite element modeling process of the mooring anchor chain 3 in the large-grip anchor group system and improves the modeling efficiency, but also retains the spatial form and force transmission characteristics of the connecting anchor chain 4 and the mooring anchor chain 3 during the towing process, realizes the dynamic application of the anchor chain tension during the towing installation process of the physical model of the large-grip anchor group system, avoids using a constant anchor chain tension to replace the dynamic anchor chain tension, and provides an effective numerical simulation prediction method for predicting the complex embedding behavior and motion trajectory of the large-grip anchor group system in the seabed.
[0088] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the technical principle of the present invention, several improvements and replacements can still be made, and these improvements and replacements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
