The design and development of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) is an attractive
issue in the wind energy harvesting field. In this study, the research related to the high …

Vortex-induced motions (VIM) is becoming a noteworthy issue for column-stabilized floating
platforms, mainly due to its substantial fatigue damage to risers and mooring system. The …

In this paper, a numerical study was performed aiming to reduce the Spar hull surge and
sway response due to marine currents for various arrangements of strakes. Spar is a …

Under certain current conditions (eg, the Loop Current in the Gulf of Mexico), floating
structures such as semi-submersibles, spars, and TLPs may experience significant vortex …

Vortex-induced motions (VIM) is a common phenomenon on varies kinds of deep-water
offshore platforms such as deep draft semisubmersible and Spar. The present study …

Wind energy is one of the most promising non-polluting renewable energy sources. How to
efficiently exploit and utilize the wind energy resources and reasonably reduce the wind …

A new concept Spar-FPSO is proposed for deepwater oil field development integrating the
advantages of the deep-draft Spar concept and for oil storage. Unlike conventional ship …
