... Abstract This paper presents the results of an experimental campaign regarding the hydrodynamic loading on a three-legged jacket support structure of offshore wind turbines. The campaign aims to the assessment of the violent hydrodynamic impact on the structure due to impulsive loading, which...

.... The results from this phase include an examination of different approaches one can use for defining and calibrating hydrodynamic coefficients for a model, and the importance of higher-order wave models in accurately modeling the hydrodynamic loads on offshore substructures. wind energy hydrodynamic...

... ABSTRACT This paper presents experimental and numerical studies into the hydrodynamic loading of a bottom-hinged large buoyant flap held rigidly upright in waves. Possible applications and limitations of physical experiments, a linear potential analytical method, a linear potential numerical...

... obtain the hydrodynamic forces on the robot which are linked to the different relative fluid velocities and different incident angles to the robot. With such a method the hydrodynamic loading on the robot can be predicted as a whole. In the model the governing equation of umbilical cable linked...

... seakeeping loads calculated by a hydrodynamic boundary element method (BEM) to the structural finite element method (FEM) model. The transfer of the hydrodynamic loading to the structural model is not trivial. The meshes used for the BEM and FEM models are normally quite different. A common approach...

... the hydrodynamic loadings on the vehicle can be predicted as a whole and the limitation of the conventional predictive method can be overcome. In our research the governing equation of the towed cable is based on the Ablow and Schechter (1983) method. The boundary conditions for the system are presented. The six...

... ABSTRACT This paper reports on extensive wavetank investigations of the hydrodynamic loading on a large scale model of an offshore jacket in waves and current. Two independent series of tests were conducted. In the first series the structure was mounted on the bottom of the tank and tested...

... to hydrodynamic loading effects is becoming of increasing concern to the designers of such structures. These structures are being progressively located in deeper and deeper water and hence are becoming more flexible and prone to dynamic excitation. frequency domain sapo spectra dynamic response...

... accounts for non-linearities associated with the large displacement response of the cable itself but also considers the influence of structure fluid interaction in the resultant dynamic response, has been especially developed for modelling the cable elements of such a system. The hydrodynamic loading...

... and foundation upon the structural response as well as the hydrodynamic loading. 1. Assumption Usual incompressible fluid and linear potential flow are assumed. The vertical circular cylinder is a large body, which satisfies D/L;>O.2, where D is the cylinder diameter and L is the wave length, and is considered...
