A prediction method, based on the Morison equation as well Froude-Krylov formula, is presented to simulate loads acting columns and caissons of semi-submersible platform induced by Internal Solitary Wave (ISW) respectively. Combined with experimental results, empirical formulas drag inertia coefficients in can be determined a function Keulegan–Carpenter (KC) number, Reynolds number (Re) upper l...

This paper discusses the design of hydrodynamically scaled models of offshore structures subjected to wave loading. A considerable amount of engineering design and analysis is required to ensure the high performance of a model/dynamometer system, especially when dealing with large scale models (for example, 1:40). The system is designed to be as rigid as possible so that the dynamometer measure...

In the present paper, a comparative study of different cylindrical and conical substructures was performed under breaking wave loading with open-source Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) package OpenFoam capable development numerical tank (NWT) use Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations, k-ω Shear Stress Transport (k-ω SST) turbulence model, volume fluid (VOF) method. The validity NWT...
