• A 2D Experimental and Numerical Study of Moonpools With Recess 

      Ravinthrakumar, Senthuran; Kristiansen, Trygve; Ommani, Babak (ASME 2018 37th International Conference on Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering;OMAE2018-78326, Chapter, 2018-06-25)
      Moonpool resonance is investigated in a two-dimensional setting in terms of regular, forced heave motions of a model with moonpool with different rectangular-shaped recess configurations. A recess is a reduced draft zone ...
    • Coupled vessel and moonpool responses in regular and irregular waves 

      Ravinthrakumar, Senthuran; Kristiansen, Trygve; Molin, Bernard Jean Marie; Ommani, Babak (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-03)
      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 ...
    • Experimental study of floating bridge global response when subjected to waves and current 

      Hansen Viuff, Thomas; Ravinthrakumar, Senthuran; Økland, Ole David; Grytå, Ole Anton; Xiang, Xu (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      The present paper investigates the wave- and current-induced responses of the Bjørnafjord phase 5 K12 floating bridge concept based on small-scale model tests. Due to the extensive length of the bridge concept combined ...
    • Model test of a hydroelastic truncated floating bridge with a stay-cable tower 

      Hansen Viuff, Thomas; Ravinthrakumar, Senthuran; Økland, Ole David; Grytå, Ole Anton; Xiang, Xu (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Experimental studies of long offshore and coastal structures such as very long floating bridges are challenged by the combination of coastal wave environments with relatively small design waves and excessive structural ...
    • A Physical-Based Damping Model of Gap and Moonpool Resonance in WAMIT 

      Ravinthrakumar, Senthuran; Ommani, Babak; Kristiansen, Trygve; Olimb, Idunn; Lyngvær, Bernt Karsten (Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      An engineering model to estimate and incorporate quadratic damping of the piston-mode moonpool responses in the proximity of the piston mode period is proposed. The model provides a physical-based equivalent linearized ...
