Motion analysis of a Semi-Submersible Crane Vessel at Inconvenient Draft: A flooding Tank approach

Conventional computer programs based on radiation-diffraction theory are not able to predict the motions of a semi-submersible crane vessel in case the pontoons are only slightly submerged. Cause of the erroneous results are non-linearities like breaking waves on top of the pontoons and emergence of the pontoons itself. Objective of this thesis...
