Abstract: Current industry practice to control roll motions in floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels is based on using large-width bilge keels. This paper details an experimental study ...

Abstract: A submerged oscillating heave plate is utilized as a mechanism in some marine structures for vibration reduction. Quantifying the hydrodynamic properties in axial (heave) oscillations has been extensively archived in ...

Abstract: An oscillating water column device enables the conversion of wave energy into electrical energy via wave interaction with a semi-submerged chamber coupled with a turbine for power take off. ...

Abstract: Research papers at previous OMAE conferences by Thiagarajan and Troesch 45 described forced oscillation model tests using a 0.45-m-dia cylinder and a 0.6-m-disk appended to the cylinder base for ...
