Abstract: Wave data obtained from simulations from an offshore basin and from field measurements were used to provide an assessment of the adequacy of describing the most likely time trace profile around ...

Abstract: Results of an experimental program with a model of a moored floating production storage and offloading vessel are used to study the probability distributions associated with various phenomena ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental program carried out with a model of a FPSO (Floating Production, Storage and Offloading) unit moored and subjected to incoming waves. In ...

Abstract: Wave spectra are estimated from wave frequency motions of a vessel at zero or low advance speed. Minimization of a cost functional that indicates how well the estimated spectrum results in ...

Abstract: This work aims at characterizing the probability of wave impact and determining the position of impact on an FPSO (floating production storage and offloading platform) bow geometry. In order ...
