Abstract
In the present study, different configurations of a mooring line under a static case are analyzed using the CFD software SIMULIA XFLOW 2022X. Native XFlow geometries employed in the simulation of small springs are used to perform simulations of mooring systems, along with 6 DOF joints, and performing discretization depending on the necessities. Fairlead tensions are compared to experimental data of cables employed in the mooring of DeepCWind semisubmersible platform at 1/40 scale, and to computational model using OPASS. Additionally, the location of different points of the suspended chain in the resting catenary shape is compared to the Quasi-Static model.
