The invention discloses a
hybrid nonlinear floating fan hydrodynamic load
coupling calculation method. The method comprises the steps of obtaining a velocity potential of a
wave field in a computational domain through OceanWave3D numerical
simulation (a
wave field calculation model), and performing post-
processing to obtain
wave field data; dividing an instantaneous wet surface according to the six-degree-of-freedom motion, calculated based on an OpenFAST (floating fan calculation model), of the floating
fan in each
time step, and performing pressure integration to obtain a Front-Krylov force; updating the hydrostatic
stiffness matrix according to the real-time position change of the
buoyancy center of the fan, and calculating hydrostatic
restoring force; linear
radiation force and
diffraction force are calculated through
time domain convolution of
frequency domain data, nonlinearity of the
radiation force and the
diffraction force is considered based on an instantaneous
wetting volume change coefficient, and hydrodynamic load and structural
motion response calculation in the
current time step is completed after the OpenFAST is coupled. According to the method,
coupling calculation between the
open source code OpenFAST and OceanWave3D is achieved, and compared with
commercial software at the present stage, the method is more accurate in wave load calculation under the extreme wave sea condition.
