Motion response analysis and motion control of single point mooring oil tankers
This article is based on numerical simulation to study the dynamic response of a single point mooring sys-tem.It explores the motion law of oil tankers and the influencing factors of mooring force under the combined action of wind,waves,and currents in a single point mooring system,and provides a method for ship control.The research results in-dicate that the angle between waves and currents,waves,and flow velocity have a significant impact on ship motion and mooring force;Applying tension in the 0° direction at the stem and 135° direction at the side of the ship will reduce the amp-litude of ship motion and mooring line tension.Finally,the ultimate operating sea conditions for the mooring system were provided.
