Hybrid fiber sensing on a jacket platform model proved effective for comprehensive offshore crack monitoring. Simulation guided the design of displacement sensors and sensing tapes. Experiments validated the system’s efficacy with a greater than 0.99 linear correlation for optical fiber sensors, a less than 5% average sensitivity error, and a greater than 95% strain transfer rate for tapes. Field tests affirmed high sensitivity and accuracy—vital for offshore platform safety.","PeriodicalId":503139,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Offshore and Polar Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141405712","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, the motion of a floating body with partially filled tanks in incident regular waves is analyzed. The MPS is applied for the water in the tanks, and the FVM is applied for the floating body interaction with the waves.

Impact loads and counts were correlated with wave spreading functions, tank filling levels, and tank natural sloshing frequencies. Results emphasized that short-crested seas increased impact loads for highly filled tanks.

The atmospheric boundary layer wind field is simulated by large eddy simulation (LES) with sufficient simulation duration as the inflow wind condition. Two cases with 15° and 30° yaw angles of wind turbine are performed, and the results of aerodynamics, hydrodynamics and wake characteristics are compared and analyzed with that of non-yaw scenario. It is concluded that the rotor power of FOWT decreases with increase of yaw angle, whereas the rotor thrust of 15° yaw angle is slightly larger than that of non-yaw situation. There is no distinct difference of platform surge motion and pitch motion between the 15° yaw angle and non-yaw scenario, whereas the two motions of 30° yaw angle are significantly less than that of non-yaw scenario. The platform sway motion increases with the increase of yaw angle due to the crosswise component of rotor thrust of wind turbine. What’s more, faster wake recovery and more significant wake deflection with increase of yaw angle is observed, which is beneficial for the inflow wind condition and power generation of downstream wind turbine.","PeriodicalId":503139,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Offshore and Polar Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140279823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition to obtaining these physical quantities, determining the pressure distribution on hulls would be useful for rational ship design. However, the technique for measuring pressure distribution on a ship’s hull in the actual sea has not been established. Therefore, we propose a method to obtain pressure distribution through the convolution integral by using the pressure measured at only one point. The estimated pressure distribution is validated in comparison with measured experimental values. The estimated pressure is discussed in diffraction and free-motion tests. The effectiveness of the proposed method is further validated by integrating the estimated pressures on the hull surface. Then, the obtained forces or motions estimated from the forces are compared with directly measured values.","PeriodicalId":503139,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Offshore and Polar Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140281208","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
