Flow-induced motions (FIM) are an issue for floating offshore structures, such as multi-
column platforms, as the phenomenon can decrease the fatigue life of the mooring, riser …

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 …

Vortex-induced motion (VIM) is a critical issue for floating structures made of one or more
columns, due to its significant impacts on their operational stability. Supported by column …

Vortex-Induced Vibration (VIV) of multiple cylinders has received increasing attention in the
ocean engineering field in recent years. In this paper, a two-dimensional numerical model …

Flow-induce motions (FIM) small-scale model tests were performed for the Jappaku floating
offshore wind turbines (JPK), a FOWT developed to operate in Brazilian waters. This paper …

Aiming to complete the results presented before in Gonçalves et al.(2012. Ocean Eng. 54,
150–169) and Gonçalves et al.(2013. Ocean Eng. 62, 10–24), this third part of the research …

Vortex-induced motion (VIM) of a tension leg platform (TLP) is critical to avoid structural and
fatigue damages to the tendons and risers. Many previous studies have conducted model …

In this research, an experimental study was carried out in the towing tank to measure the FIM
of a semi-submersible with long cylindrical pontoons. Motions mainly in the vertical plane …

Abstract Flow-Induced Motions (FIM) is an issue for multi-column platforms, such as Floating
Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWT). The phenomenon can increase the fatigue failure of the …

In this paper, numerical simulations on vortex-induced motions (VIM) of a semi-submersible
at two different current headings are conducted over a wide range of current velocities. The …
