Investigation of Influence of Mooring system in Response of FPSO

M. Hosseini manash; M.J. Ketabdari

Volume 5, Issue 1 , January 2015, Pages 31-40

Abstract
  FPSOs are useful in newly established offshore oil regions where there is no pipeline infrastructure in place, or in remote locations where building a pipeline is cost-prohibitive. In this study, hydrodynamic analysis of FPSO is inquired based Boundary Element Method (BEM) and wave forces/moments, ...  Read More

Investigation of geometric parameters of seawalls on the amount of earth subsidence and its horizontal displacement by FLAC 3D software

F. Orak; M. Bakhtiari; H. Bahrami

Volume 5, Issue 1 , January 2015, Pages 41-47

Abstract
  Seawalls are built for Protecting of beaches against waves and preventing the progression of water to the beach. For a proper understanding about these constructions, a suiTable information about applied loads on these constructions should be existed. One of the important load that applied on these constructions ...  Read More

Design and construction of 6-component balance dynamometer for measurement of the forces, moments andmotions of ship models in the towing tank

M. Atashrazm Jirande; F. Azarsina; M.S. Seif

Volume 5, Issue 1 , January 2015, Pages 49-54

Abstract
  During design spiral of a merchant ship or a naval vessel, it is important to perform towing tank tests in order to measure its performance either in calm water maneuvers or in waves for seakeeping performance. Also, to optimize a hydrodynamic design, towing tank tests are advantageous.This article presents ...  Read More
