The SCBEM encompasses the marine structure with only a tiny BEM domain and employs a high-order spectral layer to simulate the broad water outside the BEM domain. The performance of the SCBEM is evaluated through comparison with the wave damping approach and literature results for regular waves, modulated wave trains, focused waves, and diffraction of a vertical cylinder.

The 3UPU_UP parallel stabilized platform system is proposed, and the kinematics and dynamics of the 3UPU_UP parallel stabilized platform are researched, where U denotes universal joint; P denotes prismatic joint. The platform motion can be realized by controlling the actuators to realize compensation ship motion. While conventional control algorithms are difficult to cope with complex nonlinear systems, the optimization control method has been proposed. Based on the back propagation (BP) neural network proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) is combined with the BP neural network, and the combined PSO-BP PID controller optimization algorithm is introduced into the servo control system. Compared with classic PID and BP PID, the overshoot of PSO-BP PID to the response of step signal is reduced by 10.2% and 11.48%, respectively, and 0.36s and 0.17s reduce the time required to reach stable states. By comparing the reduction of the error under various sea conditions, the upper platform tracking error curve is flatter under a PID controller based on PSO-BP, the tracking motion is closer to the theoretical value and the control accuracy is improved. The maximum tracking error of the upper platform is smaller, the overall motion vibration of the platform is reduced, and the anti-interference ability is enhanced. The PSO-BP PID controller for wave compensated platform servo system control is more reasonable, more adaptable to the complex and changing environment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48514,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ocean Engineering and Science","volume":"10 1","pages":"Pages 1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":13.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48600099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current exploration, development, and mining technologies are already perfect. However, the offshore oil and gas facilities in the world's major offshore oil-producing countries face serious aging challenges and many are overdue for service. Moreover, many oil and gas platforms are in urgent need of decommissioning. The cost of decommissioning is one of the most concerning issues for energy companies and governments. This study compared two different approaches to cost assessment models built by using United Kingdom Continental Shelf (UKCS) decommissioned platforms: a model constructed using a popular top-down approach, and one created by a novel bottom-up approach. Both models use the completed decommissioning projects in the UKCS area as research and verification resources. According to the results, although the cost assessment model constructed using the bottom-up method is challenging, it has higher accuracy and more robust versatility. The top-down approach model is more suitable for governments and energy companies to make rough assessments of the market and projects. The bottom-up approach model is more suitable for a more detailed cost assessment of the decommissioning of individual facilities and can be integrated with results from other assessment models (such as risk and impact assessment models) to obtain more accurate cost assessment results. Both approaches have great room for improvement at present, and further integration of disciplines may be the key to breakthroughs in this field.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48514,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ocean Engineering and Science","volume":"10 1","pages":"Pages 136-149"},"PeriodicalIF":13.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135761809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We developed a 3D air-solid-water model considering the influence of brittle sphere failures of two alumina spheres to simulate the outbreak of the sympathetic implosion in the seawater of 114 MPa. According to the triggering mode, two cases of simultaneous implosions and five cases of sympathetic implosions of a double-sphere were numerically studied. We found that the induced fracture of the secondary sphere happened before the outbreak of the positive pressure wave, i.e., the induced fracture is caused by the uneven pressure around the sphere lower than the hydrostatic pressure. To our knowledge, the present paper is the first report on the early fracture of the secondary solid sphere in sympathetic implosions. With various triggering modes of the primary sphere, the secondary fractures are all induced at the proximal side and extend to the other side. The formed ring-shaped implosion cores are caused by individual fracture mode. The shifting of the two implosion cores eventually affects the pressure pulses at a position. A higher or similar values of the secondary pulse are found closely related to the double sphere's fracture modes, i.e., related to the triggering modes of the local impacts. This work help to estimate the damage of the sympathetic implosion to the surroundings, and prevent further implosions by understanding spatial superposition of a series of pulses.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48514,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ocean Engineering and Science","volume":"10 1","pages":"Pages 59-69"},"PeriodicalIF":13.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43832983","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To develop an AI model for this purpose, an experiment was conducted to obtain the engine and emission data to be used and 11 models were created. By predicting 16 variables related to the engine performance and emissions using a total of five sensor data, including three sensors essential for the engine safety, the proposed AI model could back up data when some sensors failed.

Thus, it is essential to plan and manage the harbors in harmony with both the environmental and economic aspects to support Integrated Coastal Structures Management (ICSM). Harbors' layout and the permeability of protection structures like breakwaters affect the sediment transport within harbors’ basins. Using a multi-step relational research framework, this study aims to design a novel prediction model for estimating the sedimentation quantities in harbors through a comparative approach based on artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms. First, one hundred simulations for different harbor layouts and various breakwater characteristics were numerically performed using a coastal modeling system (CMS) for generating the dataset to train and validate the proposed AI-based models. Second, three AI approaches namely: Support Vector Regression (SVR), Gaussian Process Regression (GPR), and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) were developed to predict sedimentation quantities. Third, a comparison between the developed models was conducted using quality assessment criteria to evaluate their performance and choose the best one. Fourth, a sensitivity analysis was performed to provide insights into the factors affecting sedimentation. Lastly, a decision support tool was developed to predict harbors' sedimentation quantities. Results showed that the ANN model outperforms other models with mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) equals 4%. Furthermore, sensitivity analysis demonstrated that the main breakwater inclination angle, porosity, and harbor basin width affect significantly sediment transport. This research makes a significant contribution to the management of coastal structures by developing an AI data-driven framework that is beneficial for harbors' authorities. Ultimately, the developed decision-support AI tool could be used to predict harbors' sedimentation quantities in an easy, cheap, accurate, and practical manner compared to physical modeling which is time-consuming and costly.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48514,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ocean Engineering and Science","volume":"10 1","pages":"Pages 11-21"},"PeriodicalIF":13.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47578593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
