Ocean Cleanup’s Interceptor Mooring Analysis
Mocean has supported the Ocean Cleanup with mooring design and analysis for the interceptors in Dominican Republic, United States, Malaysia and more. Along with validation studies, design support of novel barriers and the design of buoys. During this project, Mocean supported with designing the barriers and buoys. Time domain simulations were conducted to determine the dynamic behavior of the barrier and […]
Heave plate hydrodynamic verification using CFD
Heave plates are widely used in the industry to influence behavior of floating bodies. This includes e.g. reducing platform motions for Floating Offshore Wind Turbines. At Mocean we recognize the benefits of correctly understanding and representing their influence in our analyses. Using OpenFOAM this study verified accurate representation of the hydrodynamic coefficients of a heave-plate design. Client: Internal / Mocean Offshore
FOWT Platform design
Mocean supports maturing the design of a deep water floating wind platform for ECO TLP. The support includes floater design, improvements on the mooring system, overhaul of the installation methodology and development platform-specific cost modelling, as well as a scale-model test campaign performed at MARIN. Mocean leads the technical package for this innovative project, which has included responsibility for the process to receive […]
Quad lift for Hinkley Point
Detailed multi-body (3) heavy lift analysis involving a quad-crane-lift operation and fully coupled mooring response in extremely shallow water and high current conditions. As a part of the cooling system of a nuclear power plant; large concrete intake and outfall heads had to be installed on the seabed. The lift was performed by Scaldis with the Rambiz and Gulliver heavy lift vessels. […]
