Abstract: The oil industry’s success in finding hydrocarbons in deep water has led to a number of important economic and technical challenges involving, among others, new drilling procedures, new structural concepts and configurations, ...

Abstract: A number of parametric studies were performed on a series of single, truncated cylinders in deep water using second-order potential theory. The cylinders were subjected to a monochromatic incident ...

Abstract: A finite-difference scheme and a modified marker-and-cell (MAC) method are used for numerical wave tank (NWT) simulations to investigate the characteristics of nonlinear multidirectional waves. The ...
