• Coupled vessel and moonpool responses in regular and irregular waves 

      Ravinthrakumar, Senthuran; Kristiansen, Trygve; Molin, Bernard Jean Marie; Ommani, Babak (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Hydrodynamic coupling between the ship and moonpool responses is investigated. Dedicated experiments are carried out in the Ocean Basin at Sintef Ocean. Three different moonpool sizes are studied, where the moonpool length ...
    • On natural modes in moonpools and gaps in finite depth 

      Molin, Bernard Jean Marie; Zhang, X; Huang, H; Remy, F (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      In this paper an extension of the theoretical model of Molin (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 430, 2001, pp. 27–50) is proposed, where the assumptions of infinite depth and infinite horizontal extent of the support are released. The ...
    • An upright bottomless vertical cylinder with baffles floating in waves 

      Moreau, Mael Korentin Ivan; Kristiansen, Trygve; Ommani, Babak; Molin, Bernard Jean Marie (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Damping of the surge and pitch motions, as well as the first lateral sloshing mode in a rigid free-floating upright circular dock with bilge boxes and open bottom is investigated. Model tests are carried out on a 0.80 m ...
