Station keeping analysis is an important activity in the early stages of any vessel/DP project that eventually determines the machinery and thruster configuration and thruster size selection. In order to obtain reliable results, it is crucial to apply engineering tools that realistically represent t...

Liquid inside a floating structure influences both hydrostatic and hydrodynamic response of the floating structure. Some examples of floating structure with internal liquid are: vessels with roll damping tanks, floating hydrocarbon storage facility, LNG tankers and etc. A floating oil storage tank i...

The importance of wave-current interaction effects on the determination of mean drift forces on floating offshore structures is well documented. Wave-current interaction effects will also influence the first-order motions and loads as well as the diffracted and radiated waves around the structure. O...

Wave-current interaction effects may significantly influence the mean wave drift forces on a structure as well as the motion responses and wave elevation around the structure. Additionally, the drift force may be used to estimate the wave drift damping of a moored structure. A new numerical potentia...

The influence from a current on the relative motions and wave drift forces for moored floater can be quite significant. In this paper, a benchmark study is carried out for three programs, MULDIF, WADAM and WASIM, with the focus on their capability on handling the wave-current interaction problem. A ...
