Wave Response of a Monocolumn Platform with a Skirt Using CFD and Experimental Approaches

This paper aims to investigate the nonlinear motion characteristics of a monocolumn type floater with skirts numerically and experimentally. Wave calibration, free decay, and regular wave tests were simulated using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code OpenFOAM. The experiments were carried out...
