超大型浮体概念设计与关键技术综述

Review on Conceptual Designs and Key Technologies of Very Large Floating Structures

在浮式结构物的研究领域,超大型浮体的应用一直颇受关注。本文主要对超大型浮体的概念设计方案与实际应用中涉及的关键技术进行综述。首先,从应用功能的角度出发,将超大型浮体分为四大类:运载器平台、资源平台、生活平台和特种平台,并分别介绍了其代表性的概念设计方案;并进一步对超大型浮体涉及的关键技术进行了综述,包括水弹性、多模块与连接器、系泊系统、结构强度与可靠性和实用技术;最后对超大型浮体的重要性做了简要评价,并列举了相关的重要会议。

The application of Very Large Floating Structures(VLFS)has been a research hotspot in the field of floating structures in recent years.This paper mainly reviews the important conceptual de⁃signs and key technologies of VLFS.First of all,VLFS are divided into four categories according to the purpose:vehicle platform,resource platform,living platform,and special platform.According to the different categories,some examples of significant conceptual designs for VLFS are introduced,includ⁃ing Mobile Offshore Base(MOB),Mega-Float,Ultra Large Floating System,Floating Fuel Storage Base,Freedom Ship,Lilypad Floating Ecopolis,Ocean Heart,Rocket Launch Platform,and Scientific Experimental Platform.Then,based on the current development of VLFS,several key technologies in⁃volved are reviewed and analyzed,including hydroelasticity,multi-module and connector,mooring system,structural strength and reliability,and practical technologies.Finally,some comments and rec⁃ommended conferences on VLFS are given.
