Comparison of a tension leg platform response prediction model with experimental data
- Univ. of Notre Dame, IN (United States)
A numerical model developed to efficiently predict the response of a tension leg platform under wind and wave loads in the frequency domain is examined in light of experimental data. Three studies are conducted in which model performance is compared to current state-of-the-art models, a simplified model, and two sets of experimental data. The wave diffraction and response analysis codes of the model under consideration are applied to a benchmark study in the literature and are found to be in close agreement with the state-of-the-art codes. The model is then applied to two sets of experimental data, the first of which accompanies the results of a simplified model to predict the experimental response. The current model compares favorably with the other response analysis codes under consideration. The model also matches well with experimental data, within the limitations of uncertainties in experimental procedures.
