    • Hydrodynamic Model Tests With a Large Floating Hydrocarbon Storage Facility 

      Fonseca, Nuno; Chi, Zhang; Rodrigues, José Miguel; Ren, Nianxin; Hellan, Øyvind; Magee, Allan R. (OMAE2019;96761, Chapter, 2019-06)
      The paper presents model tests with a floating hydrocarbon storage facility performed in SINTEF Ocean’s basin. The system may be considered a very large floating structure with a footprint of 300m × 310m. Hydrocarbons are ...
    • Identification of wave drift forces on a floating wind turbine sub-structure with heave plates and comparison with predictions 

      Fonseca, Nuno; Nybø, Synne Hoggen; Rodrigues, José Miguel; Gallego, Aitor; Garrido, Carlos (Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      The paper presents empirical quadratic transfer functions (QTFs) of the horizontal wave drift loads on a turret moored floating wind turbine in operational and in severe sea states. Comparison between the empirical results ...
    • Model tests of a hydroelastic truncated floating bridge 

      Rodrigues, José Miguel; Hansen Viuff, Thomas; Økland, Ole David (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Literature on tank tests of floating bridges is extremely rare, while a very limited number of publications covering tests of other types of very large floating structures exist. Here, the authors share their experience ...
    • A Procedure to Calculate First-Order Wave-Structure Interaction Loads in Wave Farms and Other Multi-Body Structures Subjected to Inhomogeneous Waves 

      Rodrigues, José Miguel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-22)
      A typical assumption when performing analytical, numerical, and experimental studies in wave–structure interaction in multi-body problems such as for wave farms and very large floating structures is the homogeneity of the ...
