An experimental investigation on vortex-induced motion (VIM) of a tension leg platform in irregular waves combined with a uniform flow

Vortex-induced motion (VIM) of a tension leg platform (TLP) is critical to avoid structural and
fatigue damages to the tendons and risers. Many previous studies have conducted model
tests for TLPs in towing tanks. However, the models were usually established using linear
springs to replicate the underwater moorings. In this study, a TLP model with full-water-depth
tendons and top tension risers (TTRs) was developed. A series of model tests were
conducted in a large-scale wave tank at three incidence angles (θ= 0°, 22.5°, and 45°) for …
