Barge-type platforms with moonpools are a promising type of foundation for floating offshore
wind turbines due to their good seakeeping performance. In this paper, the mean wave drift …

The paper presents an experimental and numerical investigation of the first order and slowly
varying wave exciting forces on a body of simple geometry which is restrained from moving …

Introduction In ocean engineering, the offshore engineering oil and gas industry is usually
regarded as a high-risk sector, where the workers face not only process hazards associated …

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a major ecological disaster in the ocean or freshwaters.
From an ecological point of view, discoloration is mainly caused by the rapid growth or …

This paper presents a numerical and experimental investigation of the second-order steady
horizontal and vertical drift forces acting on cylindrical bodies in regular waves. The …

The paper presents an experimental and numerical investigation on the motions of a floating
body of simple geometry subjected to harmonic and bi-harmonic waves. The experiments …

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a major ecological disaster in the ocean or freshwaters.

In this entry, we describe the basic ideas of the homotopy analysis method (HAM), an
analytic approach to get convergent series solutions of strongly nonlinear problems, which …

It is rare to find unidirectional wave in the real seas and only multi-directional waves or short
crested waves are found. The short crested waves are defined as linear summation of …
