 OBJECTIVE
Hydrodynamic analysis of floating dry dock
in regular waves and parametric study of the
same .
SCOPE
Study of Response amplitude operator(RAO)
for various drafts(1.2m,3.4m,3.9m,14.1m),
wave angles ( 0,45,90) and sea states.
Estimation and comparison of forces acting.
Selection & analysis of optimum mooring
configuration.
