Abstract: Results are presented from experiments investigating hydrodynamic forces induced on fixed circular cylinders by random oscillatory flows. The oscillatory flow was generated in a water tunnel and ...

Abstract: In fluid flows, fluid-structure interactions and other fluids-related problem, nonlinear dynamics play an important role in determining the development, response or output. Understanding these ...

Abstract: Experiments were conducted to study random hydrodynamic loading of smooth, rigidly mounted circular cylinders exposed to random oscillatory flow conditions. The experiments were conducted in a ...

Abstract: Knowledge of the frequencies and amplitudes and single-mode versus multi-mode behavior of deepwater riser responses is important for accurate fatigue analysis. The extraction of this information ...

Abstract: Modeling and forecasting of the sway of a moored vessel subjected to random waves were studied recently using quadratic digital filtering techniques. Moreover, it was observed that the future ...

Abstract: A numerical study of the nonlinear and random behavior of flow-induced forces on offshore structures and experimental verification of the results are presented. The numerical study is based on ...
