不同转塔位置对FPSO风标效应的影响

he location of the turret is one of the most important design parameters affecting the dynamic behavior of the FPSO(Floating Production , Storage and Offloading system) in terms of the weathervane. In this paper，the time-domain numerical simulations are carried out on a 100kDWT FPSO with different Turret Mooring Location in the environment condition in 100-years.Based on them, the position of the turret effect on the FPSO′s Weather Vane is analyzed. The results of the computations agree well with those of the corresponding model tests. Results show that the mooring location significantly affects the weathervane. This conclusion maybe of help for the choice of the appropriate turret location.
