| Abstract | |
The wave-current effects are very important in several offshore applications, for instance, the wave-drift-damping of a Turret moored FPSO. This papers presents the incorporation of current effects in the higher order time domain Rankine Panel Method on development in the Numerical Offshore Tank (TPN) at the University of Seto Paulo (USP) already introduced in [1]. The method is based on a perturbation theory to study first and second order effects, considering the geometry described using NURBS (Non Uniform Rational Basis Spline) and the potential function, free surface elevation, pressure etc by B-splines of arbitrary degree. The study is performed for a simplified geometry (sphere) and the results regarding a fixed hemisphere compared to other numerical methods considering both first and second order quantities are presented.
