Abstract:This paper presents the applications of an efficient hybrid time-domain simulation model for predicting moored Sevan-floater motions in irregular waves and finite water depth. The irregular incident waves are modeled by the extended Boussinesq equations, which can capture wave-wave interactions and the low-frequency long waves accurately in finite and shallow water depth. By imposing the incident wave kinematics on the surface of the floater, a panel model based on Rankine source method is applied for the calc… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
