“…Several research works on coupled analysis have been conducted (see for instance [8,12e19]). Recently, Jacob et al [20,21] described and studied alternative formulations (referred as "weak coupling" WkC and "strong coupling" StC) for the fully coupled analysis of FPS. The WkC formulation is focused on the equations of motion of the hull: the coupling between the hydrodynamic model of the hull and the hydrodynamic/structural model of the lines is performed by forces acting on the right-hand side of the hull equations.…”

“…Jacob et al [167] present results of case studies employing the weak and strong coupling formulations, and the behavior of these formulations is compared, in terms of their accuracy, computational performance, and applicability to different types of offshore systems. Rodrigues et al [119] show that the weak coupling scheme provides very good results, with considerably better efficiency than the strong coupling scheme.…”

“…Jacob et al [244] and Rodrigues et al [119] present the implementation of domain decomposition strategies where a "master-slave" scheme is utilised to solve the hull equations in the "master" processor and the equations of each mooring line are solved in the "slave" processors. The domain decomposition strategy also allows the finite element mesh of each mooring line to be partitioned amongst processors.…”

Mathematical Modelling of Mooring Systems for Wave Energy Converters—A Review

Mathematical analysis is an essential tool for the successful development and operation of wave energy converters (WECs). Mathematical models of moorings systems are therefore a requisite in the overall techno-economic design and operation of floating WECs. Mooring models (MMs) can be applied to a range of areas, such as WEC simulation, performance evaluation and optimisation, control design and implementation, extreme load calculation, mooring line fatigue life evaluation, mooring design, and array layout optimisation. The mathematical modelling of mooring systems is a venture from physics to numerics, and as such, there are a broad range of details to consider when applying MMs to WEC analysis. A large body of work exists on MMs, developed within other related ocean engineering fields, due to the common requirement of mooring floating bodies, such as vessels and offshore oil and gas platforms. This paper reviews the mathematical modelling of the mooring systems for WECs, detailing the relevant material developed in other offshore industries and presenting the published usage of MMs for WEC analysis.

“…In this context, Jacob et al (2012aJacob et al ( , 2012b described alternative formulations for the coupled analysis of FPS, and presented parallel implementations associated to those formulations. The goal was to obtain improved computational efficiency while maintaining higher levels of accuracy (attained by a full time-domain method and a rigorous representation of the lines by Finite Element models).…”
