Comparative Analysis and Differential Study on Dynamic Response of Tension Type Mooring and Catenary Mooring System

Abstract Mooring system is an important factor affecting the safety and motion law of floating body. It is very important to study the hydrodynamic characteristics of different mooring methods for offshore safety engineering and stability analysis of mooring system. Taking oc4 as a floating body hydrodynamic model and considering the combined action of wind, wave and current, the hydrodynamic characteristics and system stability of taut and catenary mooring mode are compared and analyzed respectively. In addition, the differences and variation rules of dynamic response of floating body under different mooring conditions are explored and summarized. Combined with the time-domain analysis theory and simulation results, the coupled motion equations of taut and catenary mooring system are improved, and the corresponding relationship between slow drift motion and different mooring modes is summarized. It provides an important theoretical basis and support for the research of time domain variation law of mooring system and marine safety control.
