Time domain simulation of side-by-side floating bodies using a 3D numerical wave tank approach

Numerical investigation of viscous effects on the gap resonance between side-by-side barges

“…However, one has to calibrate the unknown dissipation coefficient using measurement data, and there is no a priori theory to determine it. More recently, Watai et al (2015) and Ganesan and Sen (2016) employed Chen's method in their time-domain model for two side-by-side vessels and again the damping coefficient was calibrated from tests. While predictions of resonant surface elevation in the gap can be improved through calibration, the physical reason of the discrepancy between predictions and experiments might not be addressed in the framework of potential flow.…”

Nonlinear wave resonance due to oscillations of twin cylinders in a uniform current

“…Later, Wang et al [14] extended the work to the situation of multiple 2-D cylinders in vertical motions, while Li and Zhang [15] employed the boundary element method to study a similar problem that wave resonance generated by two 2-D barges in vertical motions. In addition to 2-D structures, typical study on wave resonance generated by 3-D floating bodies can be found in Sen [16] by a mixed Eulerian-Lagrangian panel method. The works mentioned above are all about wave resonance induced by the motion of floating structures.…”

Nonlinear hydrodynamic characteristics of multi-body platform system

“…More recently, Ganesan and Sen [13] conducted a numerical simulation of an FPSO with a shuttle side-by-side in 3D numerical wave tank. Gap resonance was studied by implementing a damping lid method with a constant damping factor to solve the overestimation of free surface.…”
