Resumen

In this study, a composite bucket foundation (CBF) was investigated by taking into account the reflection and refraction effects of waves. A numerical model for the motion responses of the structure under different wave heights and wave periods was built based on the 3D potential flow theory. The model was verified against the test results for analyzing the stability and seakeeping performance of the foundation under the action of waves. Under the combined action of wind and waves, the possible scenarios of floating under wind and waves of different scales and directions were simulated, and the mooring force and motion response peaks and laws of the structure were established, aiming to improve the safety of composite bucket foundation transport and provide technical support for floating construction.
