Abstract

Coupled mooring analysis using CFD with dynamic mooring models is becoming an established field. This is an important step for better predictions of responses of moored marine structures in extreme sea states and also for capturing the low-frequency response correctly. The coupling between the CFD and mooring solvers are most often carried out by exchanging the fairlead/anchor points and fairlead forces. In this paper we will discuss effects of using (i) viscous fluid flow on a mooring component level (submerged buoys and clump weights) and (ii) the fluid-structure coupling between the viscous fluid solver and the mooring system.
