Experimental Determination of Non-Linear Roll Damping of an FPSO Pure Roll Coupled with Liquid Sloshing in Two-Row Tanks
Wave excited roll motion poses danger for moored offshore vessels such as Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) because they cannot divert to avoid bad weather.Furthermore, slack cargo tanks are almost always present in FPSOs by design.These pose an increased risk of roll instability due to the presence of free surfaces.The most common
