Abstract: The vortex-induced oscillation of TLP tether is investigated in the vicinity of lock-in condition. The vortex shedding is caused purely due to current, which may vary across the depth of the ...

Abstract: Stability of the response of an articulated loading platform under regular wave, modeled as a SDOF nonlinear oscillator, is investigated. Relative velocity square drag force for harmonic wave ...

Abstract: Nonlinear surge response behavior of a multipoint mooring system under harmonic wave excitation is analyzed to investigate various instability phenomena such as bifurcation, period-doubling, and ...
