    Three-dimensional finite element analysis of the diffraction-radiation problem of hydrodynamically compact structures
    (01-01-1995) ;
    Vendhan, C. P.
    The finite element method for solving the linear floating body hydrodynamic problem is considered with a hierarchy of boundary damper options for modelling the far field. The computer program is validated using two simple examples for which added mass and damping coefficients are computed over a wide range of frequencies. The program is applied to the ISSC TLP, being a typical practical example for which a large scatter in numerical results is reported in the literature. © 1995.

    Analysis of diffraction-radiation problem of a twin-hull barge system
    (01-01-1995) ;
    Vendhan, C. P.
    Ocean wave is an important marine environmental phenomena which influences the performance of a marine structure. This necessitates a detailed hydrodynamic study of the wave-structure interaction problem. In the present work the finite element method has been demonstrated as an effective tool to solve the complex linearised three-dimensional hydrodynamic problem. The developed software has been validated for regular bodies and applied to a multi-body (twin-barge) system. © 1995 IOS. All Rights Reserved.
