Analysing the Effect of Deep Water Depth on the Motion of a Floating Offshore Pontoon
Abstract
The depth of the waterway has a direct impact on sea seakeeping analyses, so it's crucial to understand the impact of water depth on ship motion. As a result, precise hydrodynamic/motion force forecasts in constrained waterways are essential. The goal of this research is to look into how water depth affects ship heave motion. It is quite important to understand how floating offshore pontoon behave in deep water. Therefore accurate prediction of heave force will be analysed in this research. This study uses the linear wave theorem, Response Amplitude Operator, to estimate the hydrodynamic forces that occur in deep water. Bonny Island, Nigeria tidal wave using a depth of 500 meters. The results obtained in this research reveal a rapid decrease in heave response displacement from 0 to 0.2 wave frequency. According to the data, FOP operation is optimum at 500m seawater depth, where the effect of heave motion is less noticeable as shown in this research
