A computational study of wave effects related to side-by-side LNG offloading. Conference Paper

abstract

• The wave loads and wave interaction effects on two identical, rectangular barges in side-by-side configuration were studied. The wave amplifications around the barges were calculated to second order, and regions of intense amplification were identified. The sensitivity of the results to wave heading and period was particularly strong for the sum frequency, second order waves, for which rather spectacular diffraction effects take place. The possible implications of the observed phenomena for more practical LNG offloading systems were described. Only regular waves were included. With respect to local wave effects, particular attention has to be given to the large wave amplification that occurs in the gap between the two vessels for short periodic waves. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 16th International Offshore and Polar Engineering Conference, ISOPE (San Francisco, CA 5/28/2006-6/2/2006).
