Hydroelasticity of compliant offshore structures

柔顺海洋结构物的水弹性。澳大利亚丰富的海上石油和天然气储备正在等待大规模的深水开采。然而，目前对深水结构物的动力特性还缺乏深入的了解，以确保安全、经济地生产。在此，我们提出了水弹性理论和建模技术来研究柔顺海洋结构物的流固耦合问题。我们还提出了创新性的实验来验证理论工作。其中一个应用是配置一座独立的合规塔楼，以适应澳大利亚西北部海域未来的深水油气田。预期成果包括深水近海力学的理论和实验进展，以及用于工业应用的实用计算工具。

Hydroelasticity of compliant offshore structures. Australia's rich offshore oil and gas reserves are awaiting extensive deepwater extraction. However, there is still a lack of in-depth knowledge in the dynamic behavior of deepwater structures to ensure safe and cost-effective production. We hereby propose hydroelasticity theories and modelling techniques to investigate dynamic fluid-structure interaction problems for compliant offshore structures. We also propose innovative experiments to verify the theoretical work. One application is to configure a freestanding compliant tower to suit prospective deepwater oil and gas fields off North-West Australia. Expected outcomes include theoretical and experimental advances in deepwater offshore mechanics and practical computation tools for industry applications.
