Abstract:Circular cylinders are one of the most common geometries used in many structures, such as fixed platforms, risers, umbilical cables, offshore fish farms, floating offshore wind turbines, wave energy devices, plastic cleanup booms, and oil containment booms. Although partially submerged horizontal circular cylinders can be found in many offshore and marine structures, few works have investigated the influence of their positions beneath the free surface and the resulting wave force. The present work aimed to num… 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.
