Moored motion prediction of a semi-submersible offshore platform in waves using an OpenFOAM and MoorDyn coupled solver

In this study, the motions of a moored buoy and its surrounding fluid flow are numerically studied. The solver is developed by coupling the computational fluid dynamics platform, OpenFOAM, with a lumped mass mooring line model, MoorDyn. The time marching interface to transfer the solution variables...
