Non-Linear Motion Characteristics of a Shallow Draft Cylindrical Barge Type Floater for a FOWT in Waves

A shallow draft cylindrical barge type floater with footing close to the water surface was experimentally evaluated in waves to investigate non-linear motion characteristics. The floater was designed to be used as an option for FOWT—floating offshore wind turbines. The non-linear mechanism can be pr...
