Hydroelasticity of compliant offshore structures

柔性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量正在等待大规模的深水开采。然而，对于深水结构物的动态行为仍然缺乏深入的了解，以确保安全和经济有效的生产。因此，我们提出水弹性理论和建模技术，以研究顺应海洋结构物的动态流体-结构相互作用问题。我们还提出了创新的实验来验证理论工作。一种应用是配置独立式顺应塔，以适应澳大利亚西北部海域的深水油气田。预期成果包括深水海洋力学的理论和实验进展以及工业应用的实际计算工具。

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.
