Abstract:A comparative study between the theoretical and experimental analysis of air gap response and potential wave-on-deck impact forces of floating offshore structures is the main topic of this study. Both motion of the platform and the local wave elevation are important in air gap responses and wave impact forces. So, accurate and efficient computational analysis of wave induced loads and resulting platform’s responses and wave elevation is important in the prediction of air gap and evaluation of possible wave imp… 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.
