Offshore wind turbine towers are often placed vertically before installation at ports. At certain
wind speeds, these towers are subject to vortex-induced vibrations and can lose up to a third …

Several methodologies have been proposed to mitigate vortex-induced motions (VIM) on
offshore structures, such as the use of strakes, splitter plates, and spoiler plates. Among the …

A numerical study on the flow over a deep-draft semi-submersible (DDS) for both stationary
and vortex-induced motions (VIM) was carried out using the computational fluid dynamics …

An experimental study on vortex-induced motions (VIM) of a deep-draft semi-submersible
(DDS) was carried out in a towing tank, with the aim to investigate the VIM effects on the …

A comprehensive numerical study on flow-induced motions (FIMs) of a deep-draft semi-
submersible, a typical multiple cylindrical structure in offshore engineering, was carried out …

In order to study vortex-induced motions (VIM) response of floating cylinders, a model
experiment was conducted in a water flume at reduced velocity from 1.3 to 10.2. Considering …

Aos meus amigos do Colégio Santo Agostinho (oficiais e agregados), à Thiago Paulo
Menezes e à Cristiano Santos de Aguiar, companheiros de tantos momentos de alegria e …

A numerical study on the flow over a Deep-Draft Semi-Submersible (DDS) for both stationary
and 7 Vortex-Induced Motions (VIM) was carried out using the Computational Fluid …

The offshore oil exploration in Brazil has been, traditionally, made by semi-submersible and
moored ship-based units. The need for more restricted wave-induced motions has …

Abstract After Fukushima Daichii accident in 2011 and the consequent shutdown of most of
the nuclear power plant in Japan, the Japanese government is investing resources in …
