Hydrodynamic Analysis of Marine Buoys
author
Abstract:
In dynamic analysis of floating structures, the designer needs to know the wave forces due to incident and scattered waves on the structure. In this work, the flow field around the body is solved based on the potential theory with considering the free surface and sea bed effects. Using this theory, the wave forces exerted on two typical sea buoys with spherical and disc-type bodies are determined. Comparison of these results with the one obtained using Haskind method shows good accuracy of the present method.

full textHydrodynamic flow control in marine mammals.
The ability to control the flow of water around the body dictates the performance of marine mammals in the aquatic environment. Morphological specializations of marine mammals afford mechanisms for passive flow control. Aside from the design of the body, which minimizes drag, the morphology of the appendages provides hydrodynamic advantages with respect to drag, lift, thrust, and stall. The flu...
full textThe dynamics of deepwater offloading buoys
Deepwater offloading buoys are being used in West Africa to allow efficient loading of spread-moored FPSOs. These buoys have a relatively small displacement when compared to other floating systems, with the majority of the displacement being used to support the mooring system and the oil offloading lines. This results in a floating system that has a very active response to the environment, coup...
full textDifferential Quadrature Method for the Analysis of Hydrodynamic Thrust Bearings
This paper presents the application of the method of generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) for the analysis of hydrodynamic thrust bearings. GDQ is a simple, efficient, high-order numerical technique and it uses the information on all grid points to approach the derivatives of the unknown function. The effectiveness of the solution technique is verified by comparing the GDQ computed results...
