The analysis of model measurements concerning the behaviour of moored ships in long waves

When designing a new port it is important to predict the operation efficiency of the port. In this respect, it is desirable to predict the possible downtime of a new port in an early phase of the design process. Downtime depends strongly on the moored ship motions. In the past decades several numerical models were developed to predict the...

The analysis of prototype measurements concerning the behaviour of moored ships in long waves

In the past decades several numerical models were developed to predict the behaviour of moored ships in waves. They are referred to as Six Degrees of Freedom models. These models need quite detailed input data. For the planning phase of a port or an offshore facility, a need has grown for a model which estimates the ship's behaviour and possible...
