It is well known that direct evaluation of the wave-induced dynamics of floating structures by
Cummins equation is time-consuming due to the convolution integrals. Particularly, for a …

With the increasing size of ships, the impact of ship–ship interaction on navigational safety
has received significant attention. Therefore, the investigation of ship–ship hydrodynamic …

The offloading of LNG from a ship-shaped FLNG facility to a carrier in a side-by-side
configuration in the open sea is a new operation in the offshore industry. Its novelty means …

Multi-body system is becoming common in engineering practice, such as the catamaran float-
over installation for a Spar platform, one of the most complex marine systems. Gap …

Violent fluid resonance may occur in the narrow gaps formed by multiple marine floating
structures arranged side-by-side, which heavily threatens the safety of operation, more …

The first and higher harmonic components of the resonant fluid response in the gap between
two identical fixed rectangular boxes are experimentally investigated in a wave basin. Gap …

Fluid resonance inside a narrow gap between two side-by-side boxes is investigated based
on an open-source CFD package, OpenFOAM. An upstream box heaves freely under wave …

A viscous dam** model is proposed based on a simplified equation of fluid motion in a
moonpool or the narrow gap formed by two fixed boxes. The model takes into account the …

This study investigates the gap resonances associated with two fixed barges in side-by-side
configuration. A series of experiments and numerical modeling has been conducted with …

Multi-module floating system has attracted much attention in recent years as ocean space
utilization becomes more demanding. This type of structural system has potential …
