A mathematical model of floating LNG spiral-wound heat exchangers under rolling conditions
TL;DR: In this paper, a simulation tool for the design of spiral-wound heat exchangers (SWHEs) for floating LNG, a mathematical model of floating SWHEs under rolling conditions is proposed, where the mass flow rate distribution at arbitrary tilt angles is obtained by computing three-dimensional mass transfer among adjacent control volumes to distinguish the gas and liquid rich regions.

Prediction of hydrodynamic performance of an FLNG system in side-by-side offloading operation
TL;DR: In this paper, the hydrodynamic characteristics of two floating vessels connected through hawsers and fenders are investigated using a state-of-the-art time-domain simulation code SIMO, considering their mechanical and hydrodynamics coupling effects.

Estimation of gap resonance relevant to side-by-side offloading
Wenhua Zhao,Zhiyuan Pan,Frank Lin,Binbin Li,Paul H. Taylor,Paul H. Taylor,Mike Efthymiou,Mike Efthymiou +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated both the transient and steady-state resonant responses of the fluid in narrow gaps at model scale, where artificial damping was introduced into three different potential flow solvers to damp the otherwise over-estimated free surface motions in narrow gap.

Rankine time-domain method with application to side-by-side gap flow modeling
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of a time domain Rankine panel method applied to the seakeeping problem of two ships in side-by-side configuration is investigated, and the results showed that this technique was indeed able to improve the computational predictions, leading to a closer agreement between the experiments and the numerical results.

The complete second-order diffraction solution for an axisymmetric body Part 1. Monochromatic incident waves
Moo-Hyun Kim,Dick K. P. Yue +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the second-order double-frequency diffraction potential of a vertically axisymmetric body is obtained explicitly by a sequence of one-dimensional integral equations along the generator of the body involving free-surface ring sources of general order.

Study on coupling effects of ship motion and sloshing
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the coupling effects of ship motion and sloshing, and the linear ship motion was solved using an impulse-response-function (IRF) method, while the nonlinear ship flow was simulated using a finite-difference method.
