Quasi-dynamic mooring line model
Ocean Engineering, 2022 The quasi-dynamic mooring line model is a new approach to assess the mooring line tension that considers the static solution of the catenary shape, but updates the distributed vertical force along the mooring line as a function of the external forces, drag and inertial, acting on the line.
