... Abstract Resonant fluid motion between an FLNG vessel and LNG carrier may play a critical role in side-by-side offloading operations in open seas. There have been many studies investigating aspects of gap resonance, a number of which have been focused on wider gaps (e.g. 12 m, 30 m) which may...

... to study hydrodynamic interaction between two floaters in the berthing operation. With various relative positions, the effect of gap resonance and sheltering effect were discussed based on the frequency-domain solution. As the second numerical method, time-domain simulation using convolution integrals...
