Vortex-induced motions (VIM) is becoming a noteworthy issue for column-stabilized floating
platforms, mainly due to its substantial fatigue damage to risers and mooring system. The …

Deep-draft design of semi-submersibles improves vertical motions but leads to critical vortex-
induced motions (VIM) attributable to fluctuating loads on columns. As characteristic …

This paper describes a numerical study of the effect of vortex induced movement (VIM) on
the hull of a paired-column semisubmersible (pc-semi) platform in relation to the column …

The study of vortex-induced motions (VIM) is practical significance for offshore oil and gas
development. The VIM of multi-column structures, which has not been completely …

Semi-submersible type offshore floating structures are expected to be used in the Japanese
coastal area and at sea off Japan for promoting resource exploitation and development in …

Because of their long submerged columns, deep-draft semi-submersible floating structures
are particularly susceptible to vortex-induced motions. This paper focuses on the steady and …

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 …

The vortex-induced motions (VIM) of offshore floaters occur when the frequency of the vortex
shedding is close to the natural frequency, and this phenomenon can severely affect the …

Aiming to complete the results presented before by Gonçalves et al.(2011)–Experimental
Study on Vortex-Induced Motions (VIM) of a Large-Volume Semi-Submersible Platform …

The paper addresses the Flow Induced Response (FIR) of a sub-surface Buoyancy Can
(BC) and more particularly the yaw motions possibly due to the current vortices. 2D …
