The evaluation of structural responses is key element in the design of ships and offshore
structures. Fundamental to this is the determination of the design loads to support the Rule …

The resonant water motion inside a narrow gap between two identical fixed boxes that are in
side-by-side configuration is investigated using a two-dimensional (2D) numerical wave tank …

Free floating objects such as a self-reacting wave energy converter (WEC) may experience
a condition known as parametric resonance. In this situation, at least two degrees of freedom …

As the two-body heaving wave energy converter (TBH-WEC) moves toward more
commercial and large-scale applications, it usually has to be deployed in the form of arrays …

With the increase of the equipment size and the operating environment requirement, more
and more rectangular moonpools with large aspect ratios are used to instead of the circular …

The purpose of the present study is the investigation of the hydrodynamic interactions
induced by arrays of elliptical cylinders subjected to regular waves. The solution …

In this paper, diffraction problem of a floating vertical circular cylinder is studied. Detailed
analytical solution for the boundary value problem to evaluate the wave loads for the …

In this paper, the hydrodynamic performance of a two-concentric-cylindrical-body WEC
(Wave Energy Converter) is investigated through a systematic parametric study by using …

Offshore nuclear energy platforms may need to be pulled to ports for refueling every 2–3
years. At the initial stages of platform design, the towing resistance of the platforms must be …

The present study deals with the surface gravity wave interaction with a heaving dual
concentric cylindrical wave energy converter (WEC) buoy system on the stepped sea …
