Platform Additional Stiffness and Damping

Tomas.Cortes · June 6, 2019, 3:02pm

Hello everybody,

I am trying to understand the use of the Hydrodyn module’s section of the Platform Additional Stiffness and Damping (PASD). For example, I am modeling the OC4 semi-submersible platform using only potential flow theory. In this case, shouldn’t all entries in the PASD be equal to zero?

On the other hand, the initial setup of this platform, as when downloaded, comes with two entries [AddCLin(4,4) and AddCLin(5,5)], with values different from zero. Why? Is this due to the ballasted volume? Meaning that only when I have no ballasted volume all entries in the PASD should be zero (as wamit doesn’t account for ballasted volume, one would correct that in the hydrodyn file)?

In this case, if I change the ballasted volume I would need to change those two entries?

Best regards,

Tomás

Dear Tomás,

Your understanding is correct. The nonzero (4,4) and (5,5) elements of AddCLin in the HydroDyn model of OC4-DeepCwind semisubmersible model are associated with the water ballast. These can be derived using the equations documented in section 6.8.3 of the draft HydroDyn User’s Guide and Theory Manual: wind.nrel.gov/nwtc/docs/HydroDyn_Manual.pdf. Changing the water ballast should result in a change to AddCLin.

But if you plan to use the water ballasting feature of HydroDyn, please be aware of the recently discovered issue raised in OpenFAST, i.e.: github.com/OpenFAST/openfast/issues/245.

Best regards,

Dear Jason,

In case I follow the advice you provide in:Issues · OpenFAST/openfast · GitHub, I would use for the platform inertia (in elastodyn) the values provided in table 3.3 from nrel.gov/docs/fy14osti/60601.pdf right? Then, I would disable all ballasted members in section “filled members” of hydrodyn. But I would still need to keep the AddCLin(4,4) and AddCLin(5,5) with their “original/downloaded” values to account for the increased stiffness which is not accounted for in elastodyn, even if I increase the inertias there. Is this correct?

Best Regards,

Tomás

Jason.Jonkman · June 6, 2019, 11:06pm

Dear Tomás,

Yes, you would use the values specified in Table 3-3 in ElastoDyn and remove the water ballast from HydroDyn. But in this case, you don’t need to specify nonzero values for AddCLin(4,4) and (5,5) because ElastoDyn intrinsically accounts for gravitational stiffness in roll and pitch.

Best regards,

Thank you very much!

Tomas.Cortes · June 7, 2019, 12:55am

Dear Jason,

I’m sorry but I run three cases (pitch decay test) and they all look different.

1case (blue): semi-submersible as it comes when downloaded

2case (yellow): semi-submersible with no ballasted water (inertias and mass transferred to elastodyn) and all AddCLin entries equal to zero

3case (red): semi-submersible with no ballasted water (inertias and mass transferred to elastodyn) but AddCLin(4,4) and (5,5) entries equal to the value of 1case (1451298897)

Acording to your last post, cases 1) and 2) should be equal right? What’s wrong here then?

Best regards,

Tomás

Jason.Jonkman · June 7, 2019, 2:35am

Dear Tomás,

Yes, I would expect cases (1) and (2) to match. Have you double-checked your inputs? For example, have you set PtfmCMzt = -13.46 m in case 2?

While there is no reason to run case (3), because you would be double counting the gravitational stiffening, I’m also surprised by these results. Why would adding pitch stiffness reduce the natural frequency? Are you sure the inputs are set properly?

Best regards,

Tomas.Cortes · June 7, 2019, 11:54am

Dear Jason,

I’ve re-run the cases, correcting the PtfmCMzt = -13.46 m (which I had forgotten), and everything matches: case (1) and (2) are equal and case (3) has a higher natural frequency, as would be expected.

Thanks for the debugging,

Tomás

Great!

Brendan.Saunders · May 17, 2021, 7:20pm

Dear Jason,

Is the bug identified in the above GitHub issue still present in the code? If so, do you have any guidance on the maximum allowable platform yaw before these incorrect effects occur?

Thanks,

Brendan

Jason.Jonkman · May 17, 2021, 7:54pm

Dear Brendan,

Good question. The improvements to HydroDyn related to floating platform structural flexibility and member-level loads mentioned in the above-referenced issue (github.com/OpenFAST/openfast/issues/245) have now been completed and released in OpenFAST v2.6. Included in that effort was an overhaul of how the water ballasting functionality was implemented. So, I would hope that this bug has been fixed, but I don’t recall that we went back to check that. I’ll post a comment on GitHub issues.

Best regards,

Brendan.Saunders · May 24, 2021, 4:50am

Dear Jason,

Thanks for your response. I am running simulations of a modified version of the OC4 platform/turbine configuration with longer mooring lines, this causes some scenarios with large platform yaws. I have already run a number of simulations with OpenFAST v2.4.0 before I was aware of this bug. I have two questions:

Is there a way to verify whether or not my results were impacted (or is it the case where the results are always impacted)?
Is there a way for me to verify whether this bug is still in v2.6.0; could you suggest a scenario I could test where you were previously seeing incorrect results?

Thanks,

Brendan

Jason.Jonkman · May 24, 2021, 12:38pm

Dear Brendan,

Here are my answers to your questions (in reverse order):
2) Perhaps the easiest way to see if the problem exists in OpenFAST v2.6 is to compile both OpenFAST v2.4 and OpenFAST v2.6 with the “OUTPUT_ADDEDMASS” compiler directive defined. This compiler directive was added to the source code (and used in source file FAST_Solver.f90) many years ago to debug the 6x6 added mass matrix coming out of HydroDyn. If you do this, I’d expect that you’d see the unphysical asymmetry in Ixy / Iyx in OpenFAST v2.4, but I’m hopeful that you will not see this asymmetry in OpenFAST v2.6.

I believe the bug was always present in OpenFAST v2.4, but the results were only negatively effected for "sizeable platform-yaw angles " (the larger the yaw angle, the larger the error). I would say the error is probably negligible for platform-yaw angles less than 5deg, but not negligible for platform-yaw angles larger than 10deg. Assuming the bug is fixed in OpenFAST v2.6, you could spot check your results from OpenFAST v2.4 with OpenFAST v2.6 to see what differences arise.

Best regards,

Brendan.Saunders · May 25, 2021, 3:03am

Dear Jason,

I have two further questions:

In the most recent version of the regression tests the HydroDyn file for the OC4 model has an all zero ‘PLATFORM ADDITIONAL STIFFNESS AND DAMPING’ matrix, are the additional linear stiffness terms no longer needed with the most recent updates to HydroDyn?
Does using fluid filled members improve the simulation accuracy, or does it only change the modelling accuracy? In other words, will I be missing any physical effects by moving the fluid filled mass to ElastoDyn and removing the fluid filled members?

Thanks,

Brendan

Jason.Jonkman · May 25, 2021, 5:57pm

Dear Brendan,

Great questions; here are my answers:

That is correct, the additional linear stiffness to account for unmodeled effects associated with filled members is no longer needed in HydroDyn in OpenFAST v2.6 and newer. This is because the hydrostatics in the strip-theory solution (including for filled members / fluid ballast) are recalculated in OpenFAST v2.6 every time step based on the displaced position/orientation of the floating substructure.
When modeling the floating substructure rigidly, it shouldn’t matter where the fluid ballast effects are accounted for (whether in HydroDyn or ElastoDyn). However–assuming the mass, center of mass, and inertia of the fluid ballast is specified correctly in both ElastoDyn and HydroDyn–in OpenFAST v2.4 and earlier, I would expect some differences between the two methods due the aforementioned bug in HydroDyn. When modeling the floating substructure as a flexible body (in OpenFAST v2.6 and newer), it would be preferred to model the fluid ballast within HydroDyn to ensure the loads distributed throughout the flexible substructure are properly accounted for.

Best regards,

Brendan.Saunders · June 8, 2021, 1:35am

Dear Jason,

Thank you for your help. I chose to upgrade to OpenFAST v2.6.0 but I still removed the fluid filled members just to be on the safe side. However, in v2.6.0 when I compare the non-fluid-filled vs fluid-filled member solution, I see differences in the output when comparing the pitch perturbation response. The changes I made are as follows:

ElastoDyn:

     -13.46   PtfmCMzt    - Vertical distance from the ground level [onshore] or MSL [offshore] to the platform CM (meters)
 1.3473E+07   PtfmMass    - Platform mass (kg)
  6.827E+09   PtfmRIner   - Platform inertia for roll tilt rotation about the platform CM (kg m^2)
  6.827E+09   PtfmPIner   - Platform inertia for pitch tilt rotation about the platform CM (kg m^2)
  1.226E+10   PtfmYIner   - Platform inertia for yaw rotation about the platform CM (kg m^2)

HydroDyn:

             0   NFillGroups     - Number of filled member groups (-) [If FillDens = DEFAULT, then FillDens = WtrDens; FillFSLoc is related to MSL2SWL]

Do you have any idea why I am seeing these differences? Unfortunately I have not had time to check the added mass matrix from HydroDyn for v2.6.0.

Thanks,

Brendan

Jason.Jonkman · June 8, 2021, 4:30pm

Dear Brandon,

Are you saying that you’ve compared two OpenFAST v2.6 solutions–one with the water ballast modeled directly in HydroDyn and the steel only modeled in ElastoDyn, and the other with the water ballast and steel modeled in ElastoDyn (no ballast modeled in HydroDyn) and you get slightly different pitch free decay results? Can you share your two ElastoDyn and two HydroDyn input files?

Best regards,

Brendan.Saunders · June 8, 2021, 5:19pm

Dear Jason,

Yes, those results are comparing two different v2.6.0 simulations where the changes made are as described in the GitHub issue (minus changing the PASD matrix). The simulations are run using the windows .exe distributed with the v2.6.0 release on GitHub. The input files originate from the latest rtest. Unfortunately for whatever reason the forum won’t allow me to attach the files (HTTP error), so I have copy pasted them below, also posting them in the same post exceeds the character limit, so I’ve used two posts.

Thanks,

Brendan

Dear Brendan,

These files look like I would expect them to. Your model with the fluid fill modeled in HydroDyn matches the model provided in the OpenFAST r-test. And your model with the fluid fill modeled in ElastoDyn matches the mass, center of mass, and inertia documented in the OC4-DeepCwind semisubmersible specifications report.

I’m curious if there is a small error in the rigid-body equivalent mass, center of mass, or inertia properties. It may be worth double checking that the mass, center of mass, and inertia documented in the OC4-DeepCwind specifications report match those when when the fluid mass/inertia is added to the steel mass/inertia, assuming that the fluid is a solid cylinder, e.g., using the mass / inertia properties from: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_m … of_inertia.

Best regards,
