Numerical Simulation on the Mooring Line Forces and Movements of a Moored Ship

Feng Zhou, Cccc Water

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

Numerical simulation is more economical and faster than physical model experiment and prototype measurement. Based on static equilibrium model,a software(Qmoor) for calculating mooring line forces and movements of a moored ship under combined action of wind and current is presented.The wind and current load is calculate by experimental formulate according to the ship type and tonnage.The non-linear effect of mooring lines and fenders is taken into account.The computed results agree with the experiment data and are more accurate than Optimoor's results.
