Abstract: To promote the automation and intelligence of marine floating object transportation, this paper proposes a cooperative consensus control algorithm for multiple unmanned dynamic positioning (DP) tugboats to transport an ...

Abstract: Motion responses of moored very large floating structures (VLFSs) in coastal regions are remarkably influenced by shallow water, seabed topography, and mooring system, which were given particular focus in this paper. A ...

Abstract: In the last several decades, some numerical approaches have been proposed to deal with three-dimensional wave-body interaction problems in sloping bottom environment. Most of them either adopt the finite depth Green function ...
