Title: Three-year experience in the numerical prediction of the slow-drift motion of moored tankers

Conference · · Offshore Technol. Conf.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5471524

A numerical model is described which allows to simulate the slow-drift motion of moored tankers, in waves, wind, and current. Emphasis is put on the physical problems for which a better knowledge is required in order to improve the model. Some numerical applications are presented.
