Dynamics of Deployment for Mooring Buoy System Based on ADAMS Environment

Abstract

Buoy is widely applied in oceanographic research, ocean engineering and so on. The high cable tension and location derivation of its anchor can greatly affected the working condition of buoy. Multi-body software ADAMS is used to analyze the dynamics of deployment for buoy. Firstly, model of mooring buoy is developed. The forces on components of buoy are given such as drag forces, inertia force and impact force between bottom and anchor. The program is developed by macro commands in ADAMS environment. The trajectory and tension force of different nodes on buoy are calculated. This method can simulate the dynamics of deployment process for buoy system. And it is also helpful for guidance for buoy design and deployment process planning.

Numerical Simulation Research on the Anchor Last Deployment of Marine Submersible Buoy System Based on VOF Method

“…The motion equations are developed in discrete node description and fully Cartesian coordinates. Zheng Zhongqiang et al (2012) used a numerical method to solve the ordinary differential equations and dynamics simulations achieved while the anchor is cast from onboard, then (2016) studies the deployment dynamics of submersible buoy systems with numerical and experimental methods [6,7]. Yang Yu et al (2019) investigated the effect of liquid sloshing of inner tanks on the dynamic responses of an underwater soft yoke mooring system.…”

“…Completed studies in the literature of the anchor last deployment of marine submersible buoy system were usually based on the multi-body dynamics method, which is a simple and effective method to get the tension force on cables [5][6][7]. However, as shown in Figure 2, the huge tension force on cables usually occurs at the moment when the buoy is dragged into the water, and the tension force on the cables is highly concerning due to the bouy's entry into the water.…”
