Course information

Successive stages in the design of floating structures and offshore facilities. Description of environmental data (wind, currents, waves). Determination of loads from the action of the environment (loads of wind, currents, waves). Morison equation and applications for hydrodynamically “thin”, rigid and deformable structures. Hydrodynamic analysis using three-dimensional dynamic flow. First and second order diffraction and radiation problems. Exact and approximate methods and solutions. Method of hydrodynamic analysis of floating semi-submerged platforms. Examples. Static analysis of simple anchor moorings.
