... Abstract The situation of two ships maneuvering in the vicinity is not so rare, and the significant hydrodynamic interaction effect always poses a threat to navigation safety in these conditions. The assessment of distance at closest point of approach (DCPA) is necessary for ship collision...

... force we can maximize the power generation of PA-WEC. One of the feature points to make an array of PA-WECs is taking positively the hydrodynamic interaction among the array like trapping waves among the array to maximize the power generation. As for the maximization of the power generation...

... and flexible way for offshore drilling, especially with TLP. Dynamic response of tender-assisted drilling system is crucial due to the safety concern. However, some urgent issue has not been thoroughly studied in tender assisted drilling operation like the hydrodynamic interaction and the impact...

... to solve the 6xN simultaneous equations to predict the motion responses (where N is the number of freely floating bodies in the multi-body system). This paper aims to investigate the hydrodynamic interaction coefficients for two three dimensional (3-D) bodies floating freely in each other’s vicinity. Since...

..., a simplified system with seven interconnected standardized modules is proposed for numerical and experimental study. In this simplified system, each module is assumed as a rigid body. Both hydrodynamic interactions and mechanical coupling among modules are taken into consideration in the time-domain numerical...

... Absorber Wave Energy Converters (PA-WECs). In the array, complex hydrodynamic interactions among the array will occur. The interaction influences the wave power density among the array both increase and decrease. When we consider the maximization of generated electric power of the array, the suitable...

.... This operation is critical since small variations of the relative position may result in collision between the bodies or large motion of the lifting load. The hydrodynamic interactions between the units are an important effect that must be considered in the analysis of those operations. The interactions...

... 09 01 2009 This paper investigates the hydrodynamic interactions between large numbers of multiple bodies floating in each other’s close vicinity. The physical aspect of hydrodynamic interaction is rather complicated and numerically sound scheme is highly recommended to study...

... 19 11 2008 This paper investigates the hydrodynamic interaction between several vertical cylinders freely floating in each other’s close vicinity. The physical aspect of hydrodynamic interaction is rather complicated and numerically accurate scheme is highly recommended to study...

... 19 11 2008 The hydrodynamic interaction of multiple floating bodies in waves has been computed in the frequency domain based on the panel-free method developed earlier for the time-domain analysis. The integral equations are first desingularized by removing the singularity in the Green...
