Barge Motion Analysis
We specialises in the prediction of wave-induced motions for all types of marine vessels and floating structures, including ships, barges and buoys.
The motion analysis software package MOSES is commonly used for slender ships/barges. The hydrodynamic simulation package MOSES is used when a higher degree of precision is required.
Typical applications include:
-
Prediction of wave induced motions of installation barges for use in the design of catenary mooring system.
-
Prediction of design extreme motions for use in structural designs for transportation.
-
Predictions of motion response along with statistical analysis to determine downtime caused by limitation of equipment utilized in weather-sensitive marine operations.
-
Derivation of wave and motion-induced loadings, cargo slamming.
-
Structural analysis of marine vessel.
The motion response analysis uses physical environment conditions given by GL Noble Denton to find the accelerations due to the motions. The sea-fastening need to be designed according to these accelerations to have secure transport.
Motion analyses were performed using 3D diffraction solver MOSES.
