| Abstract: | The main relationships for the design of the equilibrium of the sub-surface mooring (SM) are given based on the general equations describing the equilibrium of the elastic heavy cable under gravity and hydrodynamic loading. A computation system for the numerical modelling of SM under the effect of steady currents has been developed. Computations have been performed for conditions close to those in the main Black Sea current. The main parameters of the SM equilibrium under variation of the steady velocity profiles were estimated.Translated by Mikhail M. Trufanov. |
