Vortex-Induced Motion is an oscillatory phenomenon which occurs to a floating body with low aspect ratio. In this study, hydrodynamic force acting on each column of multi-column offshore floating system was investigated using towing experiment. It was shown from the experiment that the relationship between the force and the shape of the floating body, the strength of the mooring, and flow velocity...
Experiments were carried out in a towing tank regarding the flow around a stationary array of circular cylinders with low aspect ratio, H/D=1.5, piercing the water free surface. One isolated cylinder and one array of 4 cylinders were tested; this number of cylinders corresponds to the number of the columns of the typical multi-column offshore floater system, as semi-submersibles and TLP platforms...
