Recent developments on the hydrodynamics of floating liquid natural gas (FLNG)

Rankine time-domain method with application to side-by-side gap flow modeling

“…By following this approach, the total velocity potential ˚ is split in a sum of the incident wave velocity potential I and the disturbed velocity potential (1) , the latter representing both the disturbance of the incident waves diffracted from the bodies and the waves radiated due to the oscillations of the geosim.…”

“…As a result, much attention has been given to the analysis of multi-body interaction effects with regard to the prediction of risk of collision between the vessels [1]. In this regard, the correct modeling of the fully coupled dynamics of this multi-body problem and also the prediction of the vessels relative motions are important aspects when planning of such a complex operation [2].…”

“…Neves et al, 2009); those referred to the offloading of oil or Liquefied natural gas (LNG) from an floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) platform, bunkering vessel or a floating LNG (FLNG) to a shuttle, regular vessel or LNG carrier, respectively, in side-by-side configurations (see e.g. Watai et al, 2015); the transport in partially filled tanks of such LNG or its storage in FLNG tanks (see Zhao et al, 2011, for a review on FLNG vessels hydrodynamics).…”

“…The hydrodynamic interaction of two vessels in a side-by-side arrangement is currently receiving substantial attention due to its practical application in the offloading process involving the so-called Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) units and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) carriers. As a result, much attention has been given to the analysis of multi-body interaction effects with regard to the prediction of risk of collision between the vessels (ZHAO et al, 2011). In this regard, the correct modelling of the fully coupled dynamics of this multi-body problem and also the prediction of the vessels relative motions are important aspects when planning such a complex operation (KOO; KIM, 2005).…”
