The offloading of LNG from a ship-shaped FLNG facility to a carrier in a side-by-side
configuration in the open sea is a new operation in the offshore industry. Its novelty means …

The first and higher harmonic components of the resonant fluid response in the gap between
two identical fixed rectangular boxes are experimentally investigated in a wave basin. Gap …

A viscous damping model is proposed based on a simplified equation of fluid motion in a
moonpool or the narrow gap formed by two fixed boxes. The model takes into account the …

This paper presents combined theoretical and experimental studies of the two-dimensional
piston-like steady-state motions of a fluid in a moonpool formed by two rectangular hulls (eg …

This study investigates the gap resonances associated with two fixed barges in side-by-side
configuration. A series of experiments and numerical modeling has been conducted with …

Nonlinear piston-mode fluid resonance in the gap formed by two identical fixed barges in
close proximity is investigated using a two-dimensional (2D) fully nonlinear numerical wave …

In this paper an extension of the theoretical model of Molin (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 430, 2001,
pp. 27–50) is proposed, where the assumptions of infinite depth and infinite horizontal extent …

Water wave diffraction by two parallel closely spaced rectangular barges is investigated, to
characterise the general problem of LNG offloading from a floating plant into a shuttle tanker …

In this study we present a numerical wavetank with a floating body based on a new domain-
decomposition method. The method couples a Naviér–Stokes solver (CFD) with potential …

The traditional potential flow theory to describe fully nonlinear waves is reformulated by
separating the contributions from incident and scattered waves, in order to improve the …
