Experimental Study on Dynamic Responses of Tension Leg Platform (TLP) Subjected to Short Crested Waves with Current

Tension Leg Platform (TLP) is a semi-submersible vessel moored to ocean depth by various demand tendons associated at the sea floor to a template piled in place, suitable for very deep water. Wave and current are important environment conditions aspects that are considered in the design of these...

Description
Summary:Tension Leg Platform (TLP) is a semi-submersible vessel moored to ocean depth by various demand tendons associated at the sea floor to a template piled in place, suitable for very deep water. Wave and current are important environment conditions aspects that are considered in the design of these structures. The occurrences of longcrested waves which research have been highlighted that it is rarely found in the real sea state. On the other hand, short-crested wave would be better represented in the real sea condition. Literature have proven that by considering the short-crested waves in the design, a cost and time effective design could be achieved for an optimum offshore structure.
