Hydrodynamic loading and responses of semisubmersibles

In moderate sea states, the predictions of the wave drift forces based on the potential theory correlate well with measurements. However, in severe wave conditions model tests have shown that there is an increase in wave drift forces as the sea states increases. Such difference is explained by the v...
