The hybrid model test method has been regarded as the most reliable method to investigate the dynamics of deepwater floating systems when the wave basin is not large enough to conduct the full water depth model tests at reasonable model scales. In order to get the reliable experimental results, the truncation factor should be less than 5. However, as the offshore oil and gas industry moves towards deeper waters, the model tests of floating structures carried out at the wave basin with reasonable model scales need to be revamped. The objective of the present study is to investigate the feasibility of largely truncated hybrid model test for the deep water floating systems. The hybrid model test techniques and the dynamic behaviors of the truncated mooring lines are also studied. In order to achieve the static and dynamic similarities easily in the largely-truncated model tests, an optimization design method of the truncated mooring system is proposed, and the similarities of platform motion responses as well as the mooring lines dynamics are investigated in the largely-truncated model tests. To verify the present method, a deepwater semisubmersible system operated in 1500 m and 1000 m water depth is truncated to 200 m water depth based on the static equivalent principle (the truncation factors are 7.5 and 5 respectively), and the dynamically similar design is implemented to the model tests which are carried out at China Ship Scientific Research Center wave basin. The motion responses of the platform and the mooring line dynamics are obtained. These experimental results are used to compare with the numerical simulation, which is based on the full time domain coupled dynamic analysis method. The comparisons show that the numerical results are in good agreement with the model measurements.
