Abstract
The dynamic response characteristics of a two-dimensional submerged floating tunnel (SFT) under random and freak waves were investigated in the present study. The results demonstrate that (1) the dynamic responses of the SFT under the freak wave are significantly larger than those under the largest wave in the wave train excluding the freak wave, particularly for the motion response. The maximum values of the motion responses induced by the freak wave were several times larger than those induced by the largest wave in the wave train excluding the freak wave, far exceeding the proportion of the corresponding wave height. (2) The freak wave parameter α1 has a significant effect on the amplification coefficients of surge, heave and pitch; all increase nonlinearly as α1 increases. Within α1 = 1.90~2.59, the amplification coefficients of the surge, heave and pitch vary in the ranges of 1.91~6.46, 1.53~3.87 and 1.73~5.32, respectively. (3) Amplification coefficients of tension increase almost linearly as α1 increases. Additionally, the amplification effect of the freak wave on the mooring tension is much smaller than that on motion responses. Within α1 = 1.90~2.59, the amplification coefficients of tension vary from 1.15 to 1.35. (4) Generalised amplification coefficients of motion responses increase as α1 increases and are all greater than 1.0, indicating that growth rates for motion responses under the freak wave exceed the growth rates for maximum wave height. Moreover, motion responses show a significantly nonlinear growth as maximum wave height increases. The generalised amplification coefficients of the mooring tension decrease as α1 increases, and are all less than 1.0, indicating that the dynamic amplification effect of the freak wave on the mooring tension is much smaller than that on motions. On the other hand, growth rates of the mooring tension under freak waves are smaller than the linear growth rate of the height of freak waves.
