The Numerical Modeling of Coupled Motions of a Moored Floating Body in Waves

Nonlinear interactions between water waves and a moored floating body are investigated using the virtual boundary force (VBF) method. The paper first introduces an in-house three-dimensional viscous incompressible flow model (NEWTANK), which is used to simulate wave-floating structure interaction by...
