Abstract:

In order to study the characteristics of vortex-induced motion and galloping of the classic Spar platform, a model test with a mooring system is conducted in basin. The sway motion characteristics of the Spar platform at different current velocities are analyzed. By comparing the results in currents, waves, and wave-current coupled conditions, the coupling effects of current and wave on vortex-induced motion and galloping of the Spar platform are also studied. The results show that galloping is induced by the currents with high reduced velocities. Compared with the vortex-induced motion, the galloping phenomenon has a longer period, larger amplitude, and randomness. The coupling of current and wave would not change the mode of flow-induced motion, but it significantly affects the motion amplitude.

Key words: Spar platform, vortex-induced motion, galloping, model test, hydrodynamics of marine engineering
