Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Ocean engineering (marine and offshore renewable energy conversion, naval architecture, etc.) involves various complicated physical and multifield coupling effects. The hydrodynamics of ocean engineering includes but is not limited to fluid–structure interaction, convection diffusion, energy transformation, sediment transportation, seafloor morphological changes, hydrodynamical environmental impact of marine structures, and survivability under extremes. This Special Issue aims to highlight all recent theoretical, numerical, and experimental advances in the hydrodynamics of ocean engineering. Both original and review articles are welcomed, including but not limited to the following potential topics: marine and offshore renewable energy, naval architecture, oil spill/chemical accident simulation, water quality simulation, sediment transportation and morphology changes, integrated water environment and ecological dynamics simulation, and survivability of structures under an extreme ocean environment. We also encourage contributions outlining the applications of novel techniques that provide important information on this topic.

Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) still face many challenges in improving platform stability. A fully submersible FOWT platform with inclined side columns is designed to tackle the current technical bottleneck of the FOWT platform, combining the structural characteristics of the semi-submersible and Spar platform. An integrated numerical model of FOWT is established considering the fully coupled effect, and the hydrodynamic performance of the novel FOWT, the semi-submersible FOWT, and the Spar FOWT are compared and analyzed under different wave incidence angles and wave frequencies, as well as the blade and tower dynamic response of the three FOWTs under the coupling effect of wind, wave, and current. The results show that the novel floating platform can significantly optimize the hydrodynamic performance and has a better recovery ability after being subjected to external loads. The novel floating platform can significantly reduce the heave peak and its corresponding wave frequency compared to the semi-submersible platform, reducing the possibility of heave resonance. FOWT operation should ensure positive wave inflow as far as possible to avoid excessive wave forces in the lateral direction. Both blade and tower dynamic response are affected by rotor rotation and tower vibration to varying degrees, while tower dynamic response is mainly affected by platform motion. This study suggests that the application of the novel FOWT concept is feasible and can be an alternative in offshore wind exploitation in deep water. Full article

The buried depth of submarine cables is very important to avoid damage on the cable from dropping and dragging anchors. This study focused on the actual engineering needs of submarine power cable protection and laying construction. In order to investigate the buried depth protection index of submarine cable, physical model tests, theory analysis, and numerical simulations were conducted in this study. The effects of the bottoming velocity, dropping energy, and anchor mass on the anchor penetration depth were analyzed and investigated. The analytical model based on the impact and drag mechanism is presented to analyze the forces and energy on the anchor. The accuracy and reliable of the model test results are verified by the theory analysis and numerical simulation, indicating that the buried depth protection index of the submarine cable in the research area is recommended to be 3 m. The research results can provide guidance for operation of the submarine cable laying machine and submarine cable protection. Full article

In order to investigate the effects of second-order hydrodynamic loads on a 15 MW floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT), this study employs a tool that integrates AQWA and OpenFAST to conduct fully coupled simulations of the FOWT subjected to wind and wave loadings. The load cases covering normal and extreme conditions are defined based on the met-ocean data observed at a specific site. The results indicate that the second-order wave excitations activate the surge mode of the platform. As a result, the surge motion is increased for each of the examined load case. In addition, the pitch, heave, and yaw motions are underestimated when neglecting the second-order hydrodynamics under the extreme condition. First-order wave excitation is the major contributor to the tower-base bending moments. The fatigue damage of the tower-base under the extreme condition is underestimated by 57.1% if the effect of second-order hydrodynamics is ignored. In addition, the accumulative fatigue damage over 25 years at the tower-base is overestimated by 16.92%. Therefore, it is suggested to consider the effects of second-order wave excitations of the floating platform for the design of the tower to reduce the cost of the FOWT. Full article
