Abstract: Wave forces acting on a surging circular cylinder in regular waves are measured in a wave tank. Experiments are carried on various combinations of the amplitude of a wave and a surge, and ...

Abstract: The effects of hydrodynamic forces acting on the cold water pipe and mooring lines on motions of the OTEC platform are investigated experimentally and theoretically. The hydrodynamic forces ...

Abstract: This study reports an experimental investigation on vortex induced transverse vibrations of a highly flexible free hanging pipe. The experiment was carried out in a towing tank with a 6 m of long flexible rubber pipe, by ...
