Abstract
Keywords: Short crested waves, semi-submersible platforms, hydrodynamic analysis, wave tank tests, Response amplitude operator. Abstract. The effect of the short-crested waves on the motions of moored semi-submersible platform is demonstrated from the results of the model tests, compared with the theoretical calculations. The model tests were performed in the wave tank located in the Offshore Laboratory of Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS. In the tests, model was moored in the head sea with four linear springs fore and aft, and the motion responses subjected to multi-directional waves were measured. The responses in three degrees of freedom (surge, heave and pitch) are presented. A time domain numerical MATLAB code, incorporated with the short-crested wave effect was developed. In each time step, the mass, damping and stiffness matrices were calculated. The diffraction of short-crested wave force on circular cylinder was adopted, and the equation of motion was solved by the Newmark Beta method. Responses in term of Response Amplitude Operator (RAO) are presented and compared. Good agreement between numerical and experimental results was achieved.
