Moving Load Analysis of Submerged Floating Tunnels
The concept of floating submerged tunnels becomes increasingly attractive idea to cross the straits. The structural solution in these bridges includes buoyancy force on tunnel body plus tension in mooring tethers. This paper investigates the effect of submergence on the dynamic response of submerged floating tunnels due to moving load. The inertial effect of the fluid on the submerged structure...
متن کاملTransient Response Analysis of a Submerged Floating Tunnel under Seismic and Wave Excitations
In this study, a numerical procedure is described for the transient response analysis of a submerged floating tunnel with reference of a designed tunnel in Japan. Tension legs seizing the tunnel are simply modeled by a spring elements and the tunnel itself is assumed by two rigid bodies between which a flexible joint is used. A recorded seismic excitation is used while the wave load is calculat...
متن کاملScale-Model Experiments for the Surface Wave Influence on a Submerged Floating Ocean-Current Turbine
In order to harness the kinetic energy of marine currents, we propose a novel ocean-current turbine with a horizontal axis. The turbine can be moored to the seabed and function similarly to kites in a water flow. To operate such turbines in a marine current, the resulting rotor torque needs to be canceled. Therefore, the proposed turbine is designed with a float at its top and a counterweight a...
متن کاملWave drag on floating bodies.
We measure the deceleration of liquid nitrogen drops floating at the surface of a liquid bath. On water, the friction force is found to be about 10 to 100 times larger than on a solid substrate, which is shown to arise from wave resistance. We investigate the influence of the bath viscosity and show that the dissipation decreases as the viscosity is increased, owing to wave damping. The measure...
متن کاملTime-domain analysis of wave exciting forces on floating bodies at zero forward speed
The problem of determining the exciting forces acting on a rigid floating body due to uni-directional waves has been extensively studied. The problem is usually formulated in the frequency domain by assuming that the incident waves are sinusoidal of fixed frequency. Results for more general wave systems may then be found using superposition and Fourier analysis. In this paper, the problem will ...
