Extreme marine environments and their coupled interactions with engineering structures are key scientific issues in ocean engineering. The team from the Institute of Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in deep collaboration with industrial units such as the China National Offshore Oil Corporation Research Institute, conducted research on the marine environment and engineering responses of China's first 3,000-meter water deep semi-submersible drilling platform, the 'Ocean Oil 981' platform. With the support of projects like the '863 Program,' they investigated the special environmental conditions of the South China Sea, including internal waves and typhoons, and their impact on the platform.

They established a model for the evolution of internal solitary waves in the South China Sea, proposed a new concept and analysis method for non-stationary stochastic processes of tropical cyclones, revealed the spatial distribution patterns of extreme typhoon wind speeds, and developed an assessment technology for the influence of special South China Sea environmental conditions. They also reveal the interaction law between extreme marine environments and marine platform systems, as well as fixed foundations. The study results were validated in China's first 3,000-meter water deep semi-submersible drilling platform project.

The related work, in collaboration with other institutions, received the 'Eleventh Five-Year National Science and Technology Plan Outstanding Team Award' and the 'Special Prize for National Scientific and Technological Progress in 2014 (Research and Development and Application of Ultra-Deepwater Semi-Submersible Drilling Platform, Certificate Number: 2014J-210-0-01-D10).'"
