... on the behavior of a turret moored Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) in typical bi-directional sea states at two experimental scales ranging from 1:60 to 1:120.It is still uncommon to find experimental capabilities for simulating and modeling bi-directional sea states. At the University of Maine's recently...

... Recent funding from the federal government and the National Science Foundation has enabled us to develop W2: a unique multidirectional wind-wave ocean basin at the University of Maine. With a novel rotating open-jet wind tunnel positioned over a 30m long ⨯ 9m wide ⨯ 5m deep wave basin, we use...
