Abstract
In the present study, different configurations of a mooring line under a static case are analyzed using the CFD software SIMULIA XFLOW 2022X. Native XFlow geometries employed in the simulation of small springs are used to perform simulations of mooring systems, along with 6 DOF joints, and performing discretization depending on the necessities. Fairlead tensions are compared to experimental data of cables employed in the mooring of DeepCWind semisubmersible platform at 1/40 scale, and to computational model using OPASS. Additionally, the location of different points of the suspended chain in the resting catenary shape is compared to the Quasi-Static model.
期刊介绍:
WSEAS Transactions on Fluid Mechanics publishes original research papers relating to the studying of fluids. We aim to bring important work to a wide international audience and therefore only publish papers of exceptional scientific value that advance our understanding of this particular area. The research presented must transcend the limits of case studies, while both experimental and theoretical studies are accepted. It is a multi-disciplinary journal and therefore its content mirrors the diverse interests and approaches of scholars involved with multiphase flow, boundary layer flow, material properties, wave modelling and related areas. We also welcome scholarly contributions from officials with government agencies, international agencies, and non-governmental organizations.
