COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE DYNAMIC RESPONSE OF FLOATING PLATFORMS SUBJECTED TO LONG-CRESTED AND SHORT-CRESTED WAVES

Spar and semi-submersible platforms are the common types of large floating offshore platforms operating in deepwater regions. Due to lack of sufficient analytical, experimental and statistical data regarding the performances of such platforms subjected to the real sea condition based on short-creste...

Description
Summary:Spar and semi-submersible platforms are the common types of large floating offshore platforms operating in deepwater regions. Due to lack of sufficient analytical, experimental and statistical data regarding the performances of such platforms subjected to the real sea condition based on short-crested waves. These types of platforms are normally designed for long-crested waves. In the real sea condition, generally short-crested waves exist.
