    • Wave induced motions of two ships advancing on parallel course 

      Ronæss, Marit (Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 64, Doctoral thesis, 2002)
      Under way replenishment between two ships is a critical operation, and accidents have been reported. Hydrodynamic interaction between the hulls may influence the forces and the motions of the vessels, and both manoeuvring ...
    • Wave inhomogeneities in a wave basin of constant water depth 

      Lafleche, Sebastien Jacques Marie; Ommani, Babak; Kristiansen, Trygve; Fouques, Sebastien (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Experimental testing of large marine structures in hydrodynamic laboratories requires an accurate reproduction of waves over a large area of the basin. However, with a uniform motion of the wavemaker, wave interactions ...
