Numerical modeling of wind waves affected the marine structures in the Kola Bay

Abstract

In this study of the evaluation of wave impacts on a gravity base structure (GBS) which is moored to berth No. 5 of the Centre of construction of large-capacity marine structures (CCLMS). It was identified five main wind directions that can be dangerous for the construction of CCLMS: East direction (E) South-East (SE) South direction (S), Southwest (SW), West (W) and Northwest (NW). According to the results of statistical processing of extreme storms of the 30-year period, two most dangerous directions of unrest were chosen-the Eastern direction (B) and the South-Eastern (SE) direction. Using a numerical model ARTEMIS, it was received wave field in the waters CCLMS near GBS reading for different sea levels. The simulation results showed that the wave heights affected the structure can reach 2.4 m.
