Cyber-Physical Testing of Wind-Assisted Ships: Recent Developments and Open Data Set for the SOBC-1 Bulk Carrier

Abstract This paper presents recent improvements in the cyber-physical test method for wind-assisted ships at SINTEF Ocean. In particular, a dynamic lifting line method, that interacts in real-time with the physical ship model, enables now modelling transient aerodynamic effects,...

A multi-body approach for distributing first-order hydrodynamic and hydrostatic loads on flexible structures, with application to coupled simulations of large floating wind turbines

Optimized future floating wind turbines (FWTs) are expected to be both larger and relatively lighter than conventional offshore platforms, thus more flexible. The common practice of modeling the platform as a rigid body in coupled dynamic simulations of FWTs can then be questione...
