Research on the effect of supply ship berthing mode on the hydrodynamic performance of floating dock
As a logistics base for offshore oil and gas operations,floating docks can effectively improve the efficiency and reliability of replenishment by shuttling ships between platforms and docks.The hydrodynamic performance and motion performance of the floating dock directly affect the safety of the replenishment operation.It is a typical hydrodynamic prob-lem with multiple floating bodies under the berthing condition of the replenishment ship.Based on the three-dimensional po-tential flow theory,this paper adopts the hydrodynamic analysis software AQWA to carry out hydrodynamic analysis and frequency-domain motion response analysis on the floating dock with different number of supply ships berthing,and com-pares and analyzes the influence of different berths and different number of supply ships berthing on the hydrodynamic and motion response of the floating dock,which providing reference for the design and operation of the floating dock.
