Research on "Hydrodynamic Interactions Among Multiple Cylinders"

Research Summary: Hydrodynamic Interactions between a group of truncated vertical cylinders of circular cross section and regular waves are investigated using Kagemoto's exact algebraic method and Garret's single cylinder diffraction characteristics. Both diffraction and radiation problems are solved in surge, heave and pitch modes.

Mar. 1994-Apr. 1995 Glasgow University

Research Assistant

Research on a EPSRC project entitled " Statistical Modelling of Environmental Parameters for Reliability Analyses of Floating and Compliant Offshore Structures".

Research Summary: 1) Motion Response Simulation of Semi-Submersibles Under Wave, Wind and Current Loading Using Time and Frequency Domain Techniques. 2) The Effect of magnitude and of direction of environmental forces on the motion responses and on the mooring forces of semi-submersibles. 3) Extreme Motion Response Simulation with a Time Domain Model Developed for Moored Semi-Submersibles. In this study parametric studies were carried out to simulate some of the incidents of 1990 storm in which some mooring line failures occurred. 4) Mooring Line Damping Prediction and Extreme Motion Response Analysis of Moored Semi-Submersibles. First order and slowly varying motions and mooring forces were combined to find the total extreme responses. 5) Effect of Double-Peaked Wave Spectra on the Behaviour of Moored Semi-Submersibles.
