Hydrodynamic performance of floating photobioreactors driven by wave energy
Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2019 Background Unlike conventional cultivation systems, liquid mixing in floating photobioreactors (PBRs) is solely induced by their hydrodynamic movement in response to waves, and this movement is affected by the wave conditions (wave height and wave period)

Hydrodynamic Sensitivity of Moored and Articulated Multibody Offshore Structures in Waves
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 Within the framework of Space@Sea project, an articulated modular floating structure was developed to serve as building blocks for artificial islands. The modularity was one of the key elements, intended to provide the desired flexibility of additional ...

Numerical Modelling for Synthetic Fibre Mooring Lines Taking Elongation and Contraction into Account
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 Synthetic fibre mooring lines are used as an alternative to traditional steel wire ropes due to their higher strength to weight ratio. Benefits are also found in relative ease of handling, and therefore the marine industry has largely accepted this type ...

Moored offshore structures - evaluation of forces in elastic mooring lines
IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2016 In most situations, the high frequency motions of the floating structure induce important effects in the mooring lines which affect also the motions of the structure. The experience accumulated during systematic experimental tests and calculations, carried out for different moored floating structures, showed a complex influence of various parameters on

Structural behaviour of fully coupled spar–mooring system under extreme wave loading
Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2014 Floating spar platform has been proven to be an economical and efficient type of offshore oil and gas exploration structure in deep and ultra-deep seas. Associated nonlinearities, coupled action, damping effect and extreme sea environments may modify its
