Abstract: Floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) is an offshore structure which enables liquefaction, storage, and offloading of natural gas. It is a game changer in offshore hydrocarbon development. Sidebyside offloading is a promising ...

Abstract: A series of twodimensional model tests has been conducted to study the coupling between global roll motions of a floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) vessel and internal sloshing. The model of the FLNG is allowed to move ...

Abstract: This paper expounds the process of successfully establishing a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model to accurately reproduce experimental results of three-dimensional (3D) gap resonance between two fixed ship-shaped ...

Abstract: Measurements of surface waves from oceanographic buoys have been regarded as the “ground truth” for validation of sea-state prediction models, providing the basis for input to the design of offshore structures. The engineering ...

Abstract: Accurate surface wave prediction can potentially improve the safety and efficiency of various offshore operations, such as heavy lifts and active control of wave energy converters and floating wind turbines. Prediction of ...

Abstract: Phase-resolved wave prediction capability, even if only over two wave periods in advance, is of value for optimal control of wave energy converters, resulting in a dramatic increase in power generation efficiency. Previous ...
