The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

In this research a new generation semi-submersible which consists of rectangular pontoons and square columns was modelled. The proposed semi-submersible would be cheap and quick to build, based on standard cubic boxes constructed by stiffened flat panel line assembly techniques, as conducted in modern shipbuilding. The proposed semi-submersible could be utilised for production, drilling and accommodation. To evaluate the hydrodynamic viability of the proposed design, this paper will describe the hydrodynamic design calculations and the results of the correlation between the model test results and numerical predictions as well as the results of comparisons carried out with different designs.
