Technical note on numerical calculation of diffraction forces, added mass and hydrodynamic damping (TN-FOU-101830-1)

This document presents work carried out to present further validation to AquaSim users concerning the numerical sink-source algorithm used in AquaSim for calculation of hydrodynamic quantities. This document also describes some minor modifications in the analysis and result files.

Parameters impermeable net

Parameters impermeable net (Paper TR-FOU-100004-7)

This document presents three new parameters for impermeable load formulations “Lice skirt” and “Closed compartment”, as well as the removal of the parameters “Bottom factor” and “Vacuum surface suction” previously used for the load formulation “General impermeable net”.

Consequently, the load formulation “General impermeable net” has been removed and all the capabilities of this load formulation have been separated out in the load formulations “Lice skirt”, “Closed compartment” and “Surface tarpaulin”, making “General impermeable net” obsolete.
