Tóm tắt

A direct coupled method is established on the basis of the Boussinesq equations and Rankine source method to analyze the responses of floating bodies near islands and reefs. The detailed theoretical derivation, numerical solution method and the relevant calculation program THAFTS-BR are also completed. Then, the motions and connector loads of a three-module VLFS deployed near islands and reefs are investigated based on the model tests and the numerical method. Some useful conclusions are obtained, which can provide a reference for the analysis of dynamic responses, design and construction of the floating bodies near seashores and islands.
