| Abstract | Disconnectable turret-moored Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) or Arctic Floating Drilling (AFD) units may operate in harsh environments for offshore oil and gas production. The turret buoy is designed to be disconnected from the FPSO or AFD to circumvent excessive loads on the mooring system in these harsh environments which could be driven by extreme waves or icebergs. Due to the large descending and oscillating motions after disconnect, the hydrodynamic force on the buoy is of transient nature (i.e. unsteady hydrodynamic force). To confidently predict the buoy motions during the disconnect event, it is necessary to understand and accurately predict the transient effects from the body’s instantaneous position and the water surface on the hydrodynamic force. However, no analytical or numerical methods have been successfully applied by current industry practice that accurately capture the forces on a descending buoy in this this transient phenomenon. In this work, we present a numerical analysis method developed by ExxonMobil Upstream Research Company (URC) to calculate the “true” transient hydrodynamic force on a descending buoy. A transient potential-flow mathematical model is developed in the time-domain through a transient free-surface Green’s Function by applying the instantaneous buoy position and velocity. The hydrodynamic force on the buoy is evaluated using a “fluid impulse” theory, which is computationally efficient. Computational results are presented and compared with model test results to illustrate the performance of the developed numerical approach on predicting the hydrodynamic force on a descending buoy for various disconnect scenarios. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
