摘要
To solve the dimensional limitations of physical models in tests,an equivalent water depth truncated design for a classical SPAR working in 913 m water was investigated.The water depth was reduced to 736m and then to 552m.As this was done,the mooring line lengths,EA value,and mass per meter were adjusted.Truncation rules and formulas for parameters and truncation factors were proposed.SPAR static characteristics were made to be consistent with those at full water depth.Then further time-domain coupled analysis was carried out for the SPAR when the mooring system experienced waves.The mooring lines were simulated by quasi-static method.Global responses and mooring line forces were found to agree well with test results for a prototype at that water depth.The truncation method proved to be robust and reliable.
