QUAD Lift Workability Analysis: Evaluating the Dynamic Interaction Between Two Dual crane Vessels using a Frequency Domain Modelling Technique

A QUAD lift is a new lifting method in which dual crane vessels combine their vessel capability to increase their offshore lift performance. The use of the Jumbo J-Class vessels in a QUAD lift creates the opportunity to increase the offshore lift capacity and to install structures with larger dimensions. When floating vessels are close to each...

Workability of a Floating XL-Monopile Installation: A vessel motion study

In order to meet the climate goals to minimize the global temperature rise, an accelerated growth of renewable energy sources is necessary. Within the renewables market, the offshore wind sector takes a big part and has experienced a rapid growth over the past years. Around 80% of offshore wind turbines have a monopile foundation, (a large...

An investigation of numerical analysis for modeling free-surface elevation from flow over a shallowly submerged 2D naca0012 hydrofoil

The bulbous bow is a common feature for large displacement vessels. The purpose of the bulbous bow is to reduce the bow wave, hereby making use of wave cancellation theory. The main drawback of these type of bows is that the drag reduction effect is only present for a limited range of sailing speeds. If the transit velocity is altered, the...
