2. Description of the Related Art For example, a retractable mooring rod-shaped buoy referred to as a "surge buoy" is constructed by combining a cylindrical member having a circular cross section and a buoyant body having a cylindrical or spherical shape. In order to reduce the tilt of this buoy or the boring turret using this buoy due to tidal currents and waves, conventionally, the diameter and height of the buoyant body were simply increased (that is, increased in size) to increase the buoyancy. I adopted the method of doing. Although the platform used for offshore work does not tilt in water, the drag force of the fluid increases as the tidal current and waves increase.

As described above, the cover 1 having an elliptical shape, an oval shape or the like can be slidably or rotatably or slidably and rotatably with respect to the columnar member 2 of the marine structure. By providing it, the drag force in the flow due to the tidal current or the wave can be significantly reduced. The cover 1 has another function in addition to reducing drag in the flow due to tidal currents and waves. That is, it is possible to prevent the vibration in the direction perpendicular to the flow due to the self-excited vibration occurring in the wake vortex of the columnar member 2 of the marine structure. As a result, for example, it becomes possible to stabilize the posture of an elongated marine structure upright and stable in the flow, such as a spar buoy type boring turret for a rapid flow shown in FIG.

Covers 1 and 1 with respect to the axial direction of the columnar member 2.
It is desirable to install it separately. By doing this, even if the flow direction due to tidal currents or waves differs in the water depth direction due to the topographical conditions at the installation location of the offshore structure, the covers 1 and 1 that are installed separately at the top and bottom are installed at that water depth. The flow direction can be automatically adjusted.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
It will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The columnar member 2 in the present invention is optimally a cylinder having a circular cross section as illustrated here, and the closer it is to the circular cross section, the more preferable it is. Even in the case of a columnar member, at least the "reduction of drag" in the present invention can be achieved. Further, the drag reducing device of the present invention can be applied to a spar buoy and a spar buoy type boring turret (exemplified in FIGS. 2 to 11), and a platform used for marine work (exemplified in FIG. 12). It can be widely applied to various offshore structures installed underwater.

FIG. 1 (a) shows a case in which a cover 1 having an elliptical shape, an oval shape or a shape similar thereto is provided slidably with respect to a cylindrical columnar member 2 of an offshore structure (the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a principle diagram of one embodiment). When an offshore structure installed in water receives tidal currents or waves from the direction of the arrow in Fig. 1 (a), the major axis of the cover 1 of elliptical shape, oval shape or similar shape is parallel to the flow. The cover 1 is slid to the right side of FIG. 1 (a) with respect to the columnar member 2 having a cylindrical shape to be in the state of FIG. 1 (a), and the drag force in the flow can be greatly reduced. On the contrary, if the flow is commutated by 180 °, that is, if the tidal current or wave is received from the direction opposite to the arrow in FIG.
By sliding to the left from the state of (a), the drag force in the flow can be greatly reduced as in the previous case.

2 to 4 show a concrete example for making the cover 1 slidable with respect to the cylindrical columnar member 2 of the marine structure. Here, long holes 1a, 1a along the longitudinal direction are formed on both sides of the cover 1 in the longitudinal direction, and a pair of front and rear rollers 2a, 2a attached to a cylindrical columnar member 2 corresponding to the long holes 1a, 1a. An example is shown in which is located in both the long holes 1a, 1a. When a tidal current or a wave is received from the direction of the arrow in FIG. 2 (a) or FIG. 2 (b), the pair of front and rear rollers 2a, 2a attached to the columnar member 2 in a cylindrical shape rolls and is parallel to the flow. The cover 1 slides to the right side of FIG. 2 (a) or the left side of FIG. 2 (b), and becomes the state shown in each figure.

Further, the roller 2a can also be made of synthetic resin. Reference numeral 1b in FIGS. 2 and 3 is a stopper arranged so as to straddle both sides in the longitudinal direction in the front and rear of the cover 1 to prevent the cover 1 from sliding further. It also serves to reinforce the cover 1. Reference numeral 1c is a bracket for attaching the pair of front and rear rollers 2a, 2a to the columnar member 2 having a cylindrical shape.

FIG. 1 (b) shows a case where a cover 1 having an elliptical shape, an oval shape or a shape similar thereto is rotatably provided with respect to a cylindrical columnar member 2 of an offshore structure (the first embodiment of the present invention. It is a principle diagram of the second embodiment). Also in this case, the cover 1 can follow the flow. That is, FIG.
When the flow changes from the arrow (1) to the arrow (2) in (b), the cover 1 is rotated with respect to the cylindrical columnar member 2 as shown by the arrow to be in the state shown by the chain line. The drag in the flow can be significantly reduced.

FIG. 5 shows a cylindrical columnar member 2 of a marine structure.
On the other hand, a specific example for making the cover 1 rotatable is shown. Here, the case where the cover 1 having a substantially semi-spindle shape is attached to the rotation band 2c rotatably attached to the outer periphery of the columnar member 2 is illustrated. That is, this rotation band 2c
Is formed by four rollers 2c, 2c which are arranged so as to project from the outer periphery of the columnar member 2 in a columnar shape at equal intervals.
The outer periphery of the can be rotated. Arrow in Figure 5 (a)
When the flow changes from (1) to arrow (2), the four rollers are arranged so as to project from the outer periphery of the cylindrical columnar member 2 at equal intervals.
The cover 1 rotates on the outside of 2c and 2c, and the cover 1 can be made to follow the flow as shown by the arrow in the figure. In this case, the cover 1 can be made of a flexible material, for example, a rubber plate. Although not shown, it is advisable to devise the cover 1 so as to reduce the resistance to the flow by forming a window hole in a portion (pointed portion) corresponding to the downstream side of the flow. The shape of the cover 1 illustrated in FIG. 5 is a substantially semi-spindle shape, but this shape can be said to be one of shapes similar to an ellipse or an ellipse. It goes without saying that the shape of the cover 1 may be an ellipse or an oval itself.

In this case, in addition to the cover 1 sliding with respect to the cylindrical columnar member 2, the cover 1 can be made to follow the flow. That is, when receiving a tidal current or a wave from the direction of the arrow (1) in FIG. 1 (c), the cover 1 slides similarly to the case described above. On the other hand, when the flow changes from the arrow (1) to the arrow (2) in FIG. 1 (c), the cover 1 rotates with respect to the cylindrical columnar member 2 as shown by the arrow and is shown by a chain line. Therefore, also in this case, the drag force in the flow can be significantly reduced.

In this case, in addition to the cover 1 sliding with respect to the cylindrical columnar member 2, the cover 1 can be made to follow the flow. That is, when receiving a tidal current or a wave from the direction of arrow (1) in FIG. 6 (a) or FIG. 6 (b), the slide walls 1e, 1e between the bulging portions 1d, 1d of the cover 1 have a columnar shape. The cover 1, which is guided to the flat surfaces on both sides of the sliding member 2b mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the member 2 and is parallel to the flow, slides to the right side of FIG. 6 (a) or the left side of FIG. 6 (b), respectively.

The length in the front-rear direction of the cover 1 (shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, 5, 6, and 7 to 8) which is at least slidable with respect to the columnar member 2 is the total length of the cover. It is preferable that the position of about ⅓ of the above is aligned with the center of the cylindrical columnar member 2. That is, it is preferable to set the length of the cover 1 in the front-rear direction so that L: L 'in FIG. 9 is about 1: 2. This position is the center of lift of the cover 1 having an elliptical shape, an oval shape, or a shape similar thereto (a force point in the direction perpendicular to the flow, a force in the lateral direction), and the center of the cylindrical columnar member 2 is located at this point. When the length of the cover 1 in the front-rear direction is set, the force point in the direction perpendicular to the flow, that is, the lateral force is received at the center of the cylindrical columnar member 2. Therefore, the marine structure having the columnar member 2 having a cylindrical shape is in a stable state in the water that receives the tidal current and the waves, and the cover 1 that receives the tidal current and the waves is not easily broken.

As shown in, it is desirable that the covers 1 and 1 are divided into upper and lower parts with respect to the axial direction of the columnar member 2 and attached. By doing this, even if the flow direction due to tidal currents or waves differs in the water depth direction due to the topographical conditions at the installation location of the offshore structure, the covers 1 and 1 that are installed separately at the top and bottom are installed at that water depth. The flow direction can be automatically adjusted. That is, depending on the topographical conditions at the installation location of the offshore structure, the flow direction due to tidal currents or waves may differ in the depth direction, for example, near the water surface and deeper than that, but the cylindrical columnar member 2
Such a case can be dealt with by dividing the covers 1 and 1 into upper and lower parts with respect to the axial direction.
