Effect of Considering Wave Angles on the Motion Response of Oversized Floating Bodies in Offshore Airports under Irregular Wind and Wave Loads

Most existing studies are based on the hydroelastic response of oversized floating bodies under regular waves, ignoring the effect of wave conditions and incident wave angle on the vibration response of oversized floating bodies in real sea conditions. In this paper, the stability performance of a s...

description Most existing studies are based on the hydroelastic response of oversized floating bodies under regular waves, ignoring the effect of wave conditions and incident wave angle on the vibration response of oversized floating bodies in real sea conditions. In this paper, the stability performance of a single module of a mega-floating body at an offshore airport was investigated by using STAR-CCM + numerical simulations based on a specific model, with the introduction of parameters under extreme random wind and wave combined sea conditions. By comparing and analyzing the distribution characteristics of the single module floating body under the action of regular waves and irregular waves, wind, and wave load, and by considering the wave angle along the flow direction, as well as the spreading direction and vertical displacement value under the action of mooring, the overall displacement amplitude of rigid displacement, elastic deformation displacement and considering the influence of both, and the distribution law of motion response along the length of the floating body, we summarize the influence of the wave angle on the dynamic response of an oversized floating body of an offshore airport. The results show that the maximum value of the hydro-elastic response tends to appear at the head and tail of the floating body, the rigid body vertical displacement dominates the role, the amplitude of all displacements of the floating body under the action of the cross wave is larger, and the stress area along the floating body is larger when the wave angle is between 15–30°. The floating body stress value is smaller with angles of 30–65°, and the ability to bear the load is stronger. The hydroelastic response under irregular wave conditions is more sensitive to the wave direction angle, and the elastic deformation has less influence.
