It is critical to be able estimate a ship׳s response waves, since the resulting added resistance and loss of speed may cause delays or course alterations, with consequent financial repercussions. Slow steaming has recently become popular approach for commercial vessels, as way reducing fuel consumption, therefore operating costs, in current economic regulatory climate. Traditional methods study ship motions are based on potential flow theory cannot incorporate viscous effects. Fortunately,...
An accurate study of a floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) system requires interdisciplinary knowledge about aerodynamics, platform hydrodynamics and mooring line dynamics, as well interaction between these discipline areas. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) provides new means analysing fully coupled fluid-structure (FSI) in detailed manner. In this paper, numerical tool based on the open source CFD toolbox OpenFOAM for application to FOWTs will be described. Various benchmark cases are...

In this paper, modified Kwon׳s method was developed predict added resistance caused by wave wind specific type, an easy-to-use semi-empirical model proposed. It can accurately ship׳s commercial under different drafts, at varying speeds...
Most fatigue loaded structural components are subjected to variable amplitude loads which must be processed into a form that is compatible with design life calculations. Rainflow counting allows individual stress cycles identified where they closed stress–strain hysteresis loop within random signal, but inevitably leaves residue of open data points post-processed. Comparison made between conventional methods processing the points, may non-conservative, and more versatile method, presented by...

Monitoring health condition of offshore jacket platforms is crucial to prevent unexpected structural damages, where a prevailing challenge involves translating available feature information into damage patterns. Although the artificial neural network (ANN) models are popular in addressing this challenge, they often fail capture temporal correlations between and patterns, which reduce their capability for discovering laws governing detection. To bridge research gap, study proposes novel...
