Implementation and Validation of a Potential Model for a Moored Floating Cylinder under Waves

Implementation and Validation of a Potential Model for a Moored Floating Cylinder under Waves

A three degrees-of-freedom model based on the potential flow theory was implemented to represent the motion of a slender cylindrical buoy under waves. The model calibration was performed by means of the comparison between the model results and the experiments performed at the Laboratory of Hydraulic...
