Hydrodynamic Analysis of Mooring Lines of a Floating Seawater Desalting Equipment

Abstract

Referring to the specific parameters, working environment and cabling mode of a seawater desalination device, this paper used OrcaFlex, a large-scale marine hydrodynamic analysis software, to establish a hydrodynamic analysis model of the mooring system of the marine floating desalination device. It also studied the operation process of the model, combined the mooring system and the combined effect of wind, wave and current, analyzed the mooring tension change and hydrodynamic force of the mooring cable, and guiding suggestions and detailed requirements for the design and construction of the tethered system were put forward.
