Abstract
In this study, the design of the heavy weight gravity anchor for a Tension Leg Platform system is investigated. During lowering the anchor towards the seabed, it interacts with the waves and currents. This interaction may lead to drifting/oscillation of the anchor and may induces additional tension to the lowering system, which can inflict damage to the machinery. To understand that, a numerical model is developed in the open-source CFD toolbox OpenFOAM to investigate the anchor motions. The validation of the numerical model is performed for a set of relevant test cases. After that, anchor dynamics for floating and submerged scenarios are investigated for various anchor shapes. The numerical model was able to predict the experimental results. From the anchor dynamic motion results, it is found that the streamlined shaped anchors show reduced surge motions of approximately 4 m and 50 % reduced pitch motions compared to the bluff-body shaped anchor.
