Abstract

In the process of subsea manifold hoisting and lowering, when the ship-cable-body multi-body coupling system moves greatly due to strong nonlinear environmental load, the cables of the hoisting system will change rapidly from slack to tensioning, resulting in the instantaneous surge of mooring impact tension, which may endanger the safe operation of the system. This article simulates the launching process of the underwater data center through fully coupled dynamic time-domain simulation. It considers the motion of ships and the effects of wind, waves, currents, and wave slamming, especially the impact of waves on the underwater data center when it first enters the water. Sensitivity analysis is conducted on the key parameters of wave slamming, accurately predicting the acceleration and six degrees of freedom of the data center when it enters the water, ensuring the smooth and safe entry of the underwater data center into the water. The research results provide certain theoretical and technical references for the design and offshore installation of underwater data centers in the future.
