Mathematical analysis is an essential tool for the successful development and operation of
wave energy converters (WECs). Mathematical models of moorings systems are therefore a …

This paper introduces a lumped-mass mooring line model and validates it against scale-
model floating offshore wind turbine test data. The mooring model incorporates axial …

Floating wave energy converters (WECs) operating in the resonance region are strongly
affected by non-linearities arising from the interaction between the waves, the WEC motion …

The concept of monitoring mooring stress response in real-time is not new, but its direct
implementation in offshore wind energy activities is still a challenge. The study aims to …

This paper focuses on modelling snap loads in mooring cables. Snap loads are a known
problem for the established oil and gas industry, and they pose a major challenge to robust …

Overseas construction often adopts floating breakwaters as working platforms or wave
attenuation. Laboratory and numerical investigations of the hydrodynamics during the …

This paper shows a complete study of the dynamics of a mooring line: first, a simulation code
based on a lumped mass formulation was developed and tested under different setups and …

This study develops a coupled nonlinear hydrodynamic model of a mooring system
consisting of multiple cables for analyses of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs). The …

Floating offshore wind turbines have great potential in the deep-sea regions and they often
suffer from the combined action of wind and waves, which affects the safety of wind turbines …

The paper presents incompressible Navier-Stokes simulations of the dynamics of a floating
wave energy converter (WEC) coupled to a high-order finite element solver for cable …
