However, the traditional global sensitivity analysis method presents challenges such as high calculation costs and low accuracy. To address these issues, this paper introduces polynomial chaos expansion (PCE) to quantitatively analyse the impact of uncertainties in physical and environmental parameters on the position and attitude of the towed cable. Latin hypercube sampling is employed to obtain sample sets of input parameters, and these samples are applied to the lumped mass method to calculate the end position coordinates of the towed cable, which serves as the output response. PCE is utilized to quantitatively compute the Sobol global sensitivity index of the towed cable parameters. The accuracy of the PCE model is verified, and the optimal degree of basis functions is selected using the bias-variance trade-off. The advantages of PCE are demonstrated by comparing it with the Monte Carlo and Morris methods. The results indicate that PCE accurately calculates the global sensitivity index of towed cable parameters even with a limited sample size. Under the condition of a fixed cable length, the position and attitude of the towed cable are sensitive to the current rate, liquid density, cable diameter, normal drag coefficient, and specific gravity. The feasibility and efficiency of PCE applied to the sensitivity analysis of towed cable parameters is verified, and recommendations for the engineering application of towed cables are summarised.","PeriodicalId":48514,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ocean Engineering and Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135200205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data from the model was extracted for the wave climate, in terms of the wave parameters, specifically Hs, MWD and T0, which were analyzed and compared for winter and summer seasons, for present and future climates. In order to estimate extreme values in the study area, a Natural Gas (hereafter, NG) clustering method was applied, separate clusters were identified, and corresponding centroid points were determined. To analyze data at each centroid point, time series of wave parameters were extracted, and using standard stochastic models, such as Gumbel, exponential and Weibull distribution functions, the extreme values for 50 and 100-year return periods were estimated.

Harnessing ocean energy from waves has attracted attention due to its high energy density. This study compares two generations of floating heaving point absorber WEC, WaveEL 3.0 and WaveEL 4.0, regarding their power performance and mooring line fatigue characteristics, which are essential in, e.g., LCoE calculations. The main differences between the two WECs are the principal dimensions and minor differences in their geometries. The DNV software SESAM was used for simulations and analyses of these WECs in terms of buoy heave motion resonances for maximising energy harvesting, motion characteristics, mooring line forces, fatigue of mooring lines, and hydrodynamic power production. The first part of the study presents results from simulations of unit WEC in the frequency domain and in the time domain for regular wave and irregular sea state conditions. A verification of the two WECs’ motion responses and axial mooring line forces is made against measurement data from a full-scale installation. In the second part of the study, the influence of interaction effects is investigated when the WECs are installed in wave parks. The wave park simulations used a fully-coupled non-linear method in SESAM that calculates the motions of the WECs and the mooring line forces simultaneously in the time domain. The amount of fatigue damage accumulated in the mooring lines was calculated using a relative tension-based fatigue analysis method and the rainflow counting method. Several factors that influence the power performance of the wave park and the accumulated fatigue damage of the mooring lines, for example, the WEC distance of the wave park, the sea state conditions, and the direction of incoming waves, are simulated and discussed. The study's main conclusion is that WaveEL 4.0, which has a longer tube than WaveEL 3.0, absorbs more hydrodynamic energy due to larger heave motions and more efficient power production. At the same time, the accumulated fatigue damage in the moorings is lower compared to WaveEL 3.0 if the distance between the WECs in the wave park is not too short. Its motions in the horizontal plane are larger, which may require a larger distance between the WEC units in a wave park to avoid losing efficiency due to hydrodynamic interaction effects.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48514,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ocean Engineering and Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48085462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the numerical analysis method of ship–ice collision-induced vibration is not perfect, and the effect of fluid coupling is not typically considered. In this paper, a simplified numerical analysis method for ship–ice collision-induced vibration is proposed, in which a reliable ice load is obtained by first performing ship–ice–water–air coupled collision calculations, followed by ship–ice–water coupled vibration calculations to obtain the vibration response of the structure. In addition, this paper investigates the full coupling method and the modeling ranges and meshing sizes involved in the analysis ship–ice collision-induced vibration, and the computational efficiencies of the traditional ALE algorithm and S-ALE algorithm are compared. The results indicate that the simplified simulation analysis method and gradient meshing model improve the calculation accuracy and efficiency in ship-ice collision and vibration response analysis. Moreover, the modeling range of the water and air models cannot be less than 6 times the ship width, 2 times the ship length, and 1 times the ship depth, and the S-ALE algorithm saves 47.86% time compared to the ALE algorithm.
