[0026] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "installation", "connection", and "coupling" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations. In the description of the above embodiments, specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics can be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0028] Embodiment 1: This embodiment provides a method for analyzing the sectional load of an offshore floating structure, including the following steps: Step S1: Determine the sectional positions where the structural loads of the floating structure are located, and divide the floating structure into multiple blocks according to the sectional positions; Referring to Figure 1 as shown, the sectional positions of the structural loads of the floating structure are located at the middle sections of three horizontal pontoons, three side columns, and one central column, totaling 7 sectional positions; The entire floating structure is divided into blocks according to the sectional positions. Since the entire floating structure consists of 7 parts: one central column, three side columns, and three horizontal pontoons, and each part is divided into two parts by the concerned section, the entire floating structure is divided into 14 blocks.

[0029] Step S2: Solve the hydrodynamic coefficients of each block based on the potential flow theory and the frequency-domain boundary element method; The hydrodynamic coefficients include the wave exciting force transfer function and the wave radiation force transfer function.

[0030] S21: Calculate the wave exciting force transfer function. The wave exciting force includes the incident wave force generated by the incident velocity potential and the diffraction wave force generated by the diffraction velocity potential: The expression of the incident velocity potential φ0 is: ; where d is the water depth and k is the wave number. As long as the incident wave frequency ω0 and the water depth d are determined, the corresponding unique wave number k can be determined through the dispersion relation equation: k ·tanh kd = ω0 2 / g.

[0031] The diffraction velocity potential φ D can be obtained by solving the following control equations and boundary conditions:

[0032] After obtaining the incident potential φ0 and the diffraction velocity potential φD After that, the dynamic pressure on the surface of the floating structure can be obtained through the Bernoulli equation: p = -iω0ρφ; where ρ refers to the fluid density.

[0033] The wave exciting force transfer function acting on the surface of the object can be obtained by integrating the incident and diffracted pressures on the wet surface of the object: .

[0034] S22. Solve the wave radiation force transfer function, and the radiation potential φ j can be obtained by solving the following control equations and boundary conditions:

[0035] After obtaining the radiation potential φ j After that, the dynamic pressure on the surface of the floating structure can be obtained through the Bernoulli equation: p = -iω0ρφ; where ρ is the fluid density.

[0036] The wave radiation force transfer function acting on the surface of the object can be obtained by integrating the radiation pressure on the wet surface of the object:

[0037] where A jk is the added mass, and B jk is the radiation damping.

[0038] Step S3. Establish a multi-block floating structure model in the time domain. The floating structure model includes a plurality of body elements, and the number of body elements is the same as the number of blocks; and determine the performance parameters of each body element; S31. Establish body elements based on the indirect time domain method; Based on the block division of the floating structure, establish a multi-block floating structure model in the time domain. This step can be carried out in any software based on the indirect time domain method, such as SIMA, Orcaflex, OpenFast, etc. The specific steps are as follows (taking SIMA as an example): Establish body elements with the same number as the number of blocks based on the SIMO module; since the phase of the wave load suffered by the body element is related to its reference coordinate, in order to ensure that the phase of the wave force suffered by each body element of the multi-block floating structure model at the same moment is consistent with the phase of the wave force suffered by the rigid floating structure model, set the reference coordinates of each body element to (0, 0, 0).

[0039] S32. Determine the performance parameters of each body element. The performance parameters include buoyancy, hydrostatic restoring force stiffness, and mass; S321. Calculate the buoyancy suffered according to the drainage volume of each body element, and add it to the body element in the form of an additional external force.

[0040] S322. Calculate the hydrostatic restoring force stiffness of each body element according to the following formula, and input it into the hydrostatic restoring force stiffness matrix of each body element:

[0041] where g is the acceleration due to gravity, ρ refers to the fluid density, m is the weight of the body element, n3 is the vertical component of the normal vector of the object surface, and S b represents the wet surface of the object; x, y, and z respectively represent the coordinates of the body element on the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis; x b , y b , z b respectively represent the coordinates of the center of buoyancy on the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis; x g , y g , z g respectively represent the coordinates of the center of gravity of the body element on the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis.

[0042] S323. Given the mass, center of gravity, and moment of inertia of each body element according to the mass and mass distribution of each body element.

[0043] S33. Calculate the hydrodynamic coefficients of each body element in the time domain.

[0044] S331. Based on the frequency-time domain conversion technology of the indirect time domain method, calculate the wave excitation force suffered by the floating structure body element i in the time domain:

[0045]

[0046] where f wj (1) (ω) is the wave excitation force transfer function calculated in the frequency domain; η(t) represents the wave time history.

[0047] S332. Based on the frequency-time domain conversion technology of the indirect time domain method, calculate the wave radiation force suffered by the floating structure (block i) in the time domain:

[0048] where A(∞) is the added mass matrix when the wave frequency is infinite:

[0049] where K(t) is the delay function and B(ω) is the added damping coefficient matrix of the floating structure.

[0050] Step S4: Construct virtual beam elements between each cross-section and its adjacent volume elements, and the corresponding cross-section load can be obtained by calculating the load difference between the two end nodes of the virtual beam element.

[0051] S41: Construct a first virtual beam element between a certain cross-section p and its adjacent volume element B1, and construct a second virtual beam element between the certain cross-section p and its adjacent volume element B2; wherein, the two ends of the first virtual beam element are provided with a first node and a second node; the two ends of the second virtual beam element are provided with a third node and a fourth node; Among them, the first node N1 is the node located at the reference coordinate (0, 0, 0), which is used to associate with the volume element B1, and the second node N2 is located on the central axis of the cross-section P, and its coordinates in the global coordinate system are (x PN2 , y PN2 , z PN2 ); The function of the first virtual beam element is to connect the first node N1 and the second node N2.

[0052] The fourth node N4, whose coordinates in the global coordinate system are (x PN4 , y PN4 , z PN4 ) is used to associate with the volume element B2, and the third node N3 is located on the central axis of the cross-section P, and its coordinates in the global coordinate system are (x PN3 , y PN3 , z PN3 ); The function of the second virtual beam element is to connect the fourth node N4 and the third node N3.

[0053] In some embodiments, both the volume element B1 and the volume element B2 can be regarded as 1 mass point, and the first node N1 and the fourth node N4 are respectively used to replace the corresponding mass points. The mass of the cross-section of the first virtual beam element and the second virtual beam element is close to 0, and the axial stiffness, bending stiffness, and torsional stiffness of the cross-section are all taken as relatively large values, such as 1E15N, 1E15, 1E15, which can effectively avoid the influence of the mass and structural deformation of this virtual beam element on the solution of the cross-section load.

[0054] The resultant external force received by the volume element B1 can be transmitted to the second node N2 through the first virtual beam element; similarly, the resultant external force received by the volume element B2 can be transmitted to the third node N3 through the second virtual beam element.

[0055] S42: Construct a third virtual beam element between the second node and the third node, and the second node and the third node are symmetric about the cross-section p and both the second node and the third node are nodes infinitely close to the cross-section P.

[0056] The function of the third virtual beam element is to connect the second node N2 and the third node N3. Similarly, the mass of the cross-section of the third virtual beam element is close to 0, and the axial stiffness, bending stiffness, and torsional stiffness of the cross-section are all taken as relatively large values, such as 1E15N, 1E15, 1E15, which can effectively avoid the influence of the mass of this virtual beam element and the structural deformation on the solution of the cross-section load.

[0057] S43. Calculate the load of the second node by using the performance parameters and hydrodynamic parameters of the solid element B1; calculate the load of the third node by using the performance parameters and hydrodynamic parameters of the solid element B2; S44. Calculate the load difference between the second node and the third node, and this load difference is the cross-section load of the cross-section p; S45. Solve the cross-section loads of each cross-section according to steps S41 - S44.

[0058] Continue to refer to Figure 1 As shown, both cross-section 1 and cross-section 2 are cross-sections of the side columns of the floating structure along the Z-axis direction.

[0059] Refer to Figures 2 - 7 As shown, it is a comparison diagram of multiple loads of cross-section 1 and cross-section 2 obtained by the calculation method of this embodiment. It can be seen from the figure that both cross-section 1 and cross-section 2 have loads in terms of axial force, vertical shear force, and vertical bending moment, but the load intensities of the two are different. Specifically, the load of cross-section 1 is greater. In terms of horizontal shear force, horizontal bending moment, and torque, the load of cross-section 2 is greater, and the load of cross-section 1 is almost zero.

[0060] This method is based on the indirect time domain method widely used in the field of ocean engineering, and innovatively proposes a modeling method for multi-block floating structures, converting the problem of solving the cross-section load of the floating structure into the problem of solving the difference of external loads of multi-block floating bodies, and solving the problem that the cross-section load of the floating structure cannot be calculated during the time domain coupling analysis of the floating structure. Compared with the finite element method, since it does not need to mesh the entire floating structure at each calculation time step, it has an advantage in calculation efficiency.

[0061] Embodiment 2: Provide an application of the cross-section load analysis method for offshore floating structures, including: Step 1. Establish a time domain model of the floating structure according to the above cross-section load analysis method; Step 2. Establish a numerical model of the mooring system according to the positions of the fairleads and anchor points, and the cross-section properties of the mooring cables; Step 3. Input wave condition parameters into the model in Step 2; specifically, it includes parameters such as wave spectrum type, significant wave height, spectral peak period, and spectral peak elevation factor; Step 4: Conduct time-domain simulation and output the time history of the motion response of the floating structure and the structural loads at the cross-section positions of the floating structure, including axial force, shear force, bending moment, torque, etc.

[0062] In the existing process of solving the cross-section loads of a floating structure, since it is necessary to input the external environmental loads of the floating structure in a moving state by means of other methods, this makes the finite element method separate the solution of its motion from the cross-section loads. However, this method can solve the motion and cross-section loads of the floating structure integrally, solving the technical problem that the indirect time-domain method cannot simultaneously solve the motion response and cross-section loads of the floating structure, improving the accuracy of the calculation and solution of the structural loads, reducing the calculation cost, and improving the efficiency of engineering design.
