Experimental study on vortex-induced motions of a semi-submersible with square columns and pontoons at different draft conditions and current incidences

The Vortex-induced Motions (VIM) phenomenon of semi-submersibles is relevant for the fatigue life of moorings and risers. Model tests regarding the VIM behavior of a semi-submersible with four square columns were conducted in order to investigate the effects of the current incidence and the aspect r...
