Why this simulation ?
Floating structures like FPSOs, semi-submersibles, spars, and TLPs are essential
in offshore applications, facing challenges from sea loads and mooring
tensions. Advanced CFD tools, such as OpenFOAM, enable accurate simulation
of their dynamic responses. This study validates the motion of a freely floating
barge under regular waves using OpenFOAM.
