Slootweg, Laura (author)\chapter*{Abstract}<br/>Larger wind turbines are being developed to fill the growing demand for green energy. Wind turbines that need to be installed in the next decade will reach a capacity of 15 MW, with an approximate rotor diameter of 240 meters. The currently used wind turbine installation vessels cannot install these larger wind turbines;...master thesis 2021

Veldman, Peter (author)At the moment, offshore wind is an indispensable source of energy. Compared to onshore wind, wind speeds offshore are considerably higher and more constant. Furthermore, offshore wind turbines reduce noise and visual impacts. In contrast to fixed bottom foundations, floating wind can be economically feasible in global offshore waters that exceed...master thesis 2020

Dijsselbloem, Stijn (author)Moored vessels in harbours around the world are affected by waves penetrating into the port basin. Hydraulic conditions can lead to severe vessel motions that influence the (un)loading efficiency and can even lead to the failure of fenders and mooring lines, creating unsafe situations for operating staff and <br/>A DMA is a chain of numerical...master thesis 2020

van den Berg, A. (author)In order to accurately predict passing vessel interaction forces, different simulation tools have been developed over the years. Many of these are based on a double body flow approach. MARIN (a hydrodynamic research institute located in the Netherlands) developed a simulation tool called the FlowInteraction (FI) module, which is part of the...master thesis 2017

Van Twillert, M.J. (author)This report describes two methods to analyse the effect of sloshing on ship motions. The first method applies linear potential theory on both the barge and the internal tanks. For the barge the radiation, diffraction and incoming wave potentials are solved. For the internal tanks only the radiation potential is calculated, as there are obviously...master thesis 2015
