| Abstract | Within the OO1 and OO2 “Offloading Operability” JIPs, wind-tunnel measurements were carried out to determine the wind loads on a number of vessels, e.g. Membrane (Prismatic) and Moss (Spherical) type LNG Carriers, Shuttle tanker and FPSO. Furthermore, wind velocity measurements were performed in the wake of the FPSO. For all these vessels CFD calculations are carried out using MARIN’s in-house code ReFRESCO. In [9] the sensitivity of the CFD results was investigated for various parameters, such as grid resolution, grid type, flow solver and geometric simplifications. In this paper it is shown that the calculated forces are very dependent on the atmospheric velocity profile used in the calculations. Therefore, different profiles are first compared with the profile measured in the wind tunnel. Then, the development of the profile in the CFD calculations is investigated. Using the appropriate grid resolution and the correct velocity profile, the wind loads on 5 different vessels are calculated for the angles 0 to 180 degrees in steps of 10 degrees. Overall, the calculated force coefficients agree well with the measurements for all vessels. Furthermore, the wind velocity distribution in the wake of the FPSO shows a good agreement with the velocity measurements. The location and shape of the wake are predicted accurately and the calculated velocities show reasonable agreement with the measured velocity distribution. From the results presented in this paper we conclude that with ReFRESCO the wind loads on typical offshore vessels can be predicted with reasonable accuracy in a cost-efficient manner. The accuracy of the calculated velocity fields is such that these can be used in prediction methods to obtain shielding effects on vessels positioned in the wake. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
