Simulation of Marine Towing Cable Dynamics Using a Finite Elements Method

A numerical model to study the towing maneuver for floating and submerged bodies has been developed. The proposed model is based on the dynamic study of a catenary line moving between two bodies, one body with imposed motion, and the other free to move. The model improves previous models used to stu...
