Simulation of mooring system for aquaculture system for ocean plantation using ariane 7

Abstract

Seaweed has become one of the economically ocean plantation that become one of the important resource of Malaysia since 1978. Seaweed plantation has provided many benefits to the economy and to the marine systems. To ensure that the system is reliable, design needs to be built, a mooring simulated system should be creating. Mooring system is a system where the mooring component will give strength to position of the system keeping the purpose of this study is to simulate the mooring of offshore aquaculture system for ocean plantation and investigate the safety and efficiency of the mooring system. The simulation testing will be conduct by using Ariane software. Mooring system is used to 'anchor' to a system or vessel itself. The static model will predict the tension and tilt at each mooring component, including the anchor, for which the safe mass will be evaluated in terms of the vertical and horizontal tensions. Predictions can be saved to facilitate mooring motion correction. Time dependent currents can be entered to predict the dynamic response of the mooring. The Ariane includes a preliminary database of standard mooring components which can be selected. The database can be edited and expanded to include user specific components, frequently used fasteners or unique oceanographic instruments. Once designed and tested, a draft of the mooring components can be plotted and a list of components, including fasteners can be printed.
