..., internal forces, and strain of the pipeline taking into account the influence of ocean currents and seabed stiffness. The influence of many important factors, including the variation position of the liftoff point, the change of stinger radius, ocean currents, seabed stiffness are investigated in detail...

...C. Guedes Soares; S. N. Neves The method of empirical orthogonal functions (EOFs) is used to model vertical velocity profiles of the current. The whole current field is decomposed into time series of along and cross-slope velocity components. These time series are then filtered keeping only...

...Johan E. W. Wichers Maneuvering models for tanker based FPSOs are somewhat different from the classical maneuvering models. The reasons are zero or low forward speed (current), large mean drift angles, small values of rate of turn and relatively large low frequency (lf) transverse and yaw motions...
