.... The deck structure of this platform was elevated 6.0 m as part of the great Ekofisk Jacking project in 1987. However, the subsidence has developed beyond this. In addition to the extreme load effects caused by wave-in-deck events, the effects from wave diffraction caused by the large diameter concrete wall...

... the present methodology, and are then compared to model test results. Specifically, CFD solutions are obtained for green water impact on a full-scale, FPSO hull and deck structure. The present numerical method employs a fully three-dimensional, transient, viscous Navier-Stokes solver based on the FLOW3D/ 96...

These measured impact loads included resonant effects from the models that were separated and explained, This paper is focused on the methodology of measurement and data interpretation rather than on reporting findings of the study. The paper identifies...

... or govern the platform design. The deck and hull are normally fabricated separately and mated together, inshore. This creates many critical operations which must be studied carefully. The deck structure will be deflected or deformed in a hogging or sagging shape, which creates tolerance problems...

... provides sufficient margin for energy absorption. This distance amounts to 2.86 m at the columns and 1.8 m at the steroidal hull. Thus, the DnV low impact case with' a penetration depth of 1.5 m is well exceeded. In the event of such an' accident the deck structure is well above the water surface...
