Abstract: This paper investigates the seakeeping behavior of helicopters after an emergency landing in water, focusing on a Northern North Sea wave climate and considering a realistic helicopter geometry. Computational fluid dynamics ...

Abstract: A Rankine source method is extended and applied to ship–ship interaction problems. The method covers the nonlinear steady flow and linear seakeeping in the frequency domain. The nonlinear steady flow solution accounts ...

Abstract: A Rankine source method is applied to predict linear and weakly nonlinear sectional loads of a modern container ship. The method uses solution in the frequency domain, linearized with respect to wave amplitude about the ...

Abstract: Horizontal sectional loads (horizontal shear force and horizontal bending moment) and torsional moment are more difficult to predict with potential flow methods than vertical loads, especially in sternquartering waves. ...

Abstract: Wave-induced motions and loads on a moored and articulated multibody offshore structure are numerically analyzed, where a coupled mooring–joint–viscous flow solver is used to count for mooring dynamics, joint restrictions, ...
