Four-level screening method for multi-variable truncation design of deepwater mooring system

Nonlinear hydrodynamic characteristics of multi-body platform system

“…. Details of the truncation method using in the experiment can be referred to [34,35]. Since the symmetry of the platform of TLP and TAD, 0 ° and 45 ° wave headings are investigated for isolated TLP, isolated TAD and TLP-TAD coupled model.…”

Experimental investigation on dynamic responses of FLNG connection system during side-by-side offloading operation

“…In this case, mooring system truncation is necessary, and this has been proven to be effective when conducting ultra-deep water model tests. Main criteria like coupling between vessel and mooring system, restoring forces, representative tension characteristics for each mooring line are considered in mooring system truncation [25] [26]. In the premise of maximizing the use of basin space, the mooring system was truncated at a water depth of 350 m in the prototype in this study.…”

Real-Time Hybrid Model Testing of a Top Tensioned Riser: A Numerical Case Study on Interface Time-Delays and Truncation Ratio

“…No detailed results were reported regarding dynamic line tensions in these sea-states. Using a similar approach, Wei et al [13] presented a step-wise, systematic and efficient way of solving the optimization problem mentioned in the previous paragraph. Dynamic equivalence was only verified for quite mild sea-states, very close in terms of strength to the ones used in the optimization process.…”
