Abstract: The effect of second-order slowly varying wave drift (SVWD) forces on the horizontal plane motions of moored floating vessels has been studied for nearly 30 years. Large amplitude oscillations ...

Abstract: The effects of slowly-varying wave drift forces on the nonlinear dynamics of mooring systems have been studied extensively in the past 30 years. It has been concluded that slowly-varying wave ...

Abstract: The slow-motion dynamics of a turret mooring system is analyzed and compared for four of the most commonly used ship hydrodynamic maneuvering models. Each of those utilizes a different approach ...

Abstract: The weight of a chain mooring line in deep water is the main source of mooring line tension. Chain weight also induces a vertical force on the moored vessel. To achieve the desired tension ...

Abstract: Various hydrodynamic maneuvering models are available for modeling the slow motion horizontal plane dynamics of mooring and towing systems. In previous work, we compared four representative and ...
