Description

The following scope of work is proposed for geometry.
• Simulations of basin heave decay tests.
• Simulation of basin imposed heave motion tests in vertical body.
• Simulation of basin imposed heave motion tests for inclined body.

The following scope of work is proposed for the complete tri-floater without bracings and for a given geometry of column.
• Heave decay test for several initial amplitudes (structural masses will be given later).
• Pitch decay test for several initial amplitudes (structural masses will be given later).
• Regular wave test for different periods and amplitudes.
