This study further investigates the CFD methodology to efficiently simulate highly non-linear/breaking waves to extend the NWB applications to include prediction of green water occurrence on FPSO...

... Abstract For deepwater developments involving floating platforms in harsh environmental conditions which lie beyond well-established industry practices, model tests are usually required. The paper describes the different types of model tests and their respective objectives, scopes...

... was used to simulate the berthing problem. The simulation results were directly compared with the model test data. The third numerical approach is dynamic simulation combined with direct fluid solver. In head sea condition, focus is made on the effect of the gap resonance on the wave forces and related...

... Abstract In this study, crane installation operations of subsea equipment in deep water are experimentally investigated. A series of model tests for the deepwater lifting operation were performed at Ocean Engineering Basin of KRISO. For the model test, an installation vessel with dynamic...

... Abstract Motion analysis of offshore structures in close vicinity is critical for safe and effective operation. The objective of this article is to study the hydrodynamic motion of TLP and semisubmersible in close vicinity both experimentally and numerically. For experimental study, model tests...

... Abstract Bilge keels are commonly installed on commercial ships and FPSO/FLNG units to effectively mitigate roll motions. Accurate predictions of the roll damping and hydrodynamic loads are critical for the structural design of the bilge keels. In this paper, model tests and Computational Fluid...
