Abstract:

Based on the actual marine hydrological data obtained from apredetermined sea area, a submerged buoy system is established herein for performing electromagnetic measurements using the lumped mass method. Further, the balance stance of the submerged buoy system and the tension distribution of the cable are simulated and analyzed. The results show that the design of the system has maintained a good linear correlation between the measurement nodes; the linear correlation coefficient is maintained above 0.995.The counterweight buffer cable can achieve good antiwave buffer effect. The analysis of field trial data at the sea shows that the submerged buoy system with a static buoyancy of 600 N, a buffer cable length of 150 m, and a counterweight of 40 m and 1 N/m can form a U shaped buffer belt with a buffer depth of 21 m when the surface current velocity is 0.5 m/s, which is consistent with the results of simulation analysis.

Key words: submerged buoy, marine electromagnetic, simulation analysis, balance stance, single-point mooring, buffer belt
