Some Numerical Results for the Flat and Tall Floats

Abstract

Graphs are given for the added mass matrix, damping matrix and excitation force vector for the two floats discussed at the Hanstholm meeting. The flat float has a diameter of 6m, a height of 1.5m and is half submerged, giving a volume displacement of 21.2m squared. The tall float has a diameter of 3.3m, a height of 5m and is also half submerged giving a volume displacement of 21.4m squared.
