description In order to quantitatively analyze the data measurement accuracy of ocean buoys under normal and extreme sea conditions, in this study, we simulated the six-degree-of-freedom motion response of self-designed ocean buoys under different sea conditions based on a separated vortex simulation and the fluid volume method and analyzed the impact of the unsteady motion of buoys on data measurement. The results indicate that under normal sea conditions, the deviation between the numerical method used in this paper and the experimental results is less than 10%. The heaving motion of a buoy is most sensitive to changes in wave conditions. The fluctuation intensity of buoy motion is modulated by the height and wavelength of waves. When the wave height and wavelength are similar to the overall geometric size of a buoy, the wave characteristics of the buoy’s heave, yaw, and pitch motion are significant. In addition, under extreme sea conditions, the movement of the buoy can also cause a deviation in the measured velocity in the transverse flow direction, but the overall deviation is less than 10%. In extreme sea conditions, the wind speed measurement results should be corrected to improve the measurement accuracy of a buoy.
