Mooring positioning is a traditional passive platform positioning method (such as catenary type, etc.), which is usually applied in medium and deep waters. With the continuous development and innovation of the research and development and construction technologies of offshore platforms, the challenges faced by mooring systems are getting higher and higher. Especially in shallow water environments, it is difficult for mooring positioning methods to ensure the motion safety of the platform relying on its own gravity, and new anchoring system design schemes are extremely important.
[0003] Regarding the design problem of the anchoring system, in the prior art, various solutions have been proposed from the perspectives of the design scheme of the anchoring system and the design method of the anchoring system. One is to propose a design scheme for a shallow water anchoring system including anchor chain, counterweight, buoyancy block and anchoring foundation, which can meet the requirements of mooring restoring force and anchor chain tension; the other is to consider the influence of the pitch second-order steady wave moment on the anchoring system, and by analyzing parameters such as the peak value of the pitch second-order steady wave moment transfer function in the frequency domain, the maximum pitch motion angle, etc., and optimizing through the genetic algorithm to obtain the anchoring system parameters that meet the target motion requirements.

[0058] The following further details the design process of the mooring system for a floating platform under shallow water conditions.
[0059] Process 1. Scheme design of the mooring system under shallow water conditions.
[0060] Step 1: Take a floating platform as an example. Consider the environmental loads in the working state as: wind speed V w ; flow velocity V c ; the wave is an irregular wave, the wave spectrum is the JONSWAP spectrum, the spectral peak elevation factor is γ, the spectral peak frequency is ω p , the significant wave height is H s . Based on the structural type and scale parameters of the platform, calculate the wind load according to the formula where C w , C s , C h , and A are the wind force coefficient, platform shape coefficient, platform height coefficient, and the vertical projected area of the platform's windward side respectively; the flow load where C ss , C d , A c , and A f are the flow force coefficient, drag force coefficient, the total projected area of cylindrical members below the waterline, and the total projected area of flat members below the waterline respectively; calculate the hydrodynamic parameters of the platform based on the frequency-domain wave radiation / diffraction theory under the framework of potential flow theory, including the added mass A, radiation damping B, and wave exciting force F.
[0061] Step 2: Considering that the system stiffness K of the shallow water mooring is generally below 2000 kN / m, calculate the amplitude of the surge motion response RAO of the platform in the range of 0 - 2000 kN / m of mooring stiffness (i.e., the component of X in the first direction), where M is the platform mass and X is the motion response of the platform. Combine with the wave action condition S surge (ω) to calculate the energy spectrum S w (ω) of the surge motion = (RAO surge ) surge S 2 (ω), and obtain the 1 / 10 significant value corresponding to the surge motion w where where Calculating the deformation energy demand of a floating structure based on the principle of deformation energy Obtain the relationship curve between the mooring stiffness and the deformation energy demand of the floating platform under the action of irregular waves.
[0062] Step 3: According to the horizontal tension value at the static equilibrium position calculated in Step 1, mainly the wind load and current load, i.e., T 0 = F H = F w + F cs , design an anchor mooring system with impact resistance. Select anchor chains of different specifications and materials, and plot the functional relationship between the horizontal tension and the horizontal displacement as T H = f(x). According to different anchor chain parameters (diameter, length, wet weight, axial stiffness, breaking force), plot the relationship curve between the horizontal tension of the anchor chain and the horizontal displacement. Obtain the mooring stiffness and the residual deformation energy ( Figure 2 ) of the anchor mooring system based on the static analysis method of the mooring line. Where, x 0 , T 0 are respectively the deformation amount and the horizontal tension of the anchor mooring system at the static equilibrium position, and x m is the deformation amount of the anchor mooring system at the limit position.
[0063] Step 4: Refer to the mooring stiffness parameter K in Step 3, and combine it with the relationship curve between the mooring stiffness and the deformation energy demand of the floating platform in Step 2, then the platform energy demand E P can be obtained. Calculate the safety factor κ = E M / E P , (κ is the safety factor, the most dangerous working condition of the anchor mooring system is the longitudinal motion problem of the floating structure. By analogy with the large-angle dynamic stability problem of the rolling of the floating structure, referring to the CCS marine platform stability specification, take κ = 1.4). If κ > 1.4, it meets the design requirements of the anchor mooring system. If not, redesign the anchor chain parameters in Step 3, calculate the safety factor until the design requirements are met, and determine the design scheme of the anchor mooring system.
[0064] Process 2. Platform motion response and anchor chain force analysis.
[0065] Step 1: Verify the accuracy of the established numerical model using classical examples. After verification, export the STL model file using 3D model construction software according to the parameters of the floating platform. Simulate the rigid body motion using the overlapping grid technique (which can avoid problems such as negative volume caused by the movement of dynamic grids). Import the STL model file into the overlapping grid region and perform grid division on the overlapping grid region and the background grid region. Assign the corresponding physical parameters (mass of the floating structure, mass of the anchor chain, position of the anchoring point, length of the anchor chain, axial stiffness, etc.) to the floating platform and the anchor chain respectively, and assign the corresponding boundary conditions; Use the VOF method to express the gas and liquid phases: ρ=(1-α i )ρ g +α i ρ l 、μ=(1-α i )μ g +α i μ l (where α i is the volume fraction of the i-th fluid, ρ g is the gas density, ρ l is the liquid density, μ g is the gas viscosity, μ l is the liquid dynamic viscosity). After setting all the parameters of the model, select the working conditions that can describe the typical characteristics of the dynamic response of the floating structure-anchoring system, and set multiple grid sizes to verify the grid convergence of the numerical model (ensuring that the grid size has little impact on the results).
[0066] Step 2: Based on the verified numerical model, adopt the water depth, wave and other conditions in Step 1, and analyze the force on the anchor chain for the anchor chain quantity and connection position adopted in the design of a specific target mooring structure. The lumped mass method divides the anchor chain into multiple nodes with mass, and the nodes are connected by massless springs. The tension in the i-th segment caused by the axial stiffness where E is the elastic modulus, d is the diameter of the anchor chain, the internal damping force where C int is the internal damping coefficient, is the strain rate, the interaction between the mooring cable and the seabed where, k b is the seabed stiffness coefficient, c b is the seabed damping coefficient, z b is the seabed elevation, z i is the node coordinate, the lateral drag force where, C dn is the lateral resistance coefficient, the tangential drag force where C dt is the tangential resistance coefficient. After solving the force on the anchor chain as above, construct the motion equation Among them, T i+1 / 2 and T i-1 / 2 represent the tensions caused by the segments on both sides of the node, C i+1 / 2 and C i-1 / 2 represent the internal damping forces caused by the segments on both sides of the node, W i is the underwater weight, m i is the mass of the anchor chain at node i, I is the identity matrix, a i is the added mass matrix, is the acceleration of node i, and the motion of the floating structure platform and the forces on each anchor chain are obtained by solving.
[0067] Step 3: According to the loads on each anchor chain obtained in Step 2, analyze whether the forces on each anchor chain meet the requirements of the mooring force safety factor (the ratio of the mooring cable breaking strength to the maximum tension received). If not, return to Step 2 to re - design the anchor chain. If the requirements are met, the target mooring plan is obtained.
[0068] For the problem of shallow - water mooring, the present invention first calculates the platform deformation energy requirement according to the platform structure type, calculates the residual deformation energy of the mooring line configuration plan based on the deformation energy principle, and optimizes the mooring plan with the maximum residual deformation energy; then, based on the numerical method of the viscous flow theory, applying the overlapping grid method to couple the dynamic simulation method of the mooring cable, checks the motion response of the floating structure and the mooring safety factor of the optimized plan, ensuring the safety of the final mooring system plan; the present invention determines the layout plan of the mooring system through the process of plan design and safety check. The entire design process is scientific, logically rigorous, highly executable, and has guiding significance for practical engineering applications.
