Studying the Behaviour and Performance of an Innovative Floating Offshore Platform
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Khonsari, Vahid (Supervisor)
Abstract
The objective of this project is to study the behaviour and performance of an innotative floating offshore platform. Such Platform not only can be used for exploring oil from offshore fields, but for creating artificial islands, where land is in short supply. Due to its specific and, at the same time, simple geometry (symmetric), its fabrication does ont involve much complexity. Studies carried out on this platform include the investigation into its structural behaviour under gravitational (including self weight) and bouyancy forces. Studied cases include a number of platforms with different (geometrical) sizes and under 3 various bouyancy conditions (percentage), namely 1) 50% of the height...
Feasibility Study and Design of Artificial Energy Island (in Persian Gulf Region)
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Abbaspour Tehranifard, Majid (Supervisor)
Abstract
As it is obvious from the name of this study, the goal of doing this study is the feasibility study of southern shores of Iran for building an artificial energy island for and designing it. In this project by studying seven points coastwise of southern Iran and defining the criterions and scoring the points, the Chabahar was determined as the best place for erecting the artificial energy island. With respect to the environmental condition of the chosen point and modeling in software ANSYS, the structure of the artificial energy island has been studied and the type, geometric shape, area, trough, and the setting of the anchoring system has determined. As a result of these efforts, a hexagon...
The Effect of Sea Current on an Artificial Island
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Abbaspour Tehrani Fard, Majid (Supervisor)
Abstract
With regards to rapid growth of world population, coastlines have limited natural resources and capacity for human settlement. To tackle the problem the idea of constructing artificial islands could be a solution. Since the artificial islands are semi-enclosed body of water designed to attract not only tourists but also settlements, the flow current pattern and residence time of water should be studied in detail in order to ensure adequate water quality in the surrounding area. In this study, an artificial island is planned to be constructed around Kish Island in Persia Gulf. In this article the effects of different geometries on circulation and residence time of water are investigated...
