Hydrodynamic Properties

Overview

The various Flexcom options for defining hydrodynamic properties are discussed in the following sections:

•Constant Coefficients describes the simplest hydrodynamic property specification.

•Reynolds Number of Dependent Coefficients describes the facility to specify hydrodynamic coefficients as a function of Reynolds number.

•Advanced Topics describes advanced hydrodynamic modelling features such as Subsea Buoys, Moonpool Hydrodynamics and Drag Lift.

Relevant Keywords

•*HYDRODYNAMIC SETS is used to assign hydrodynamic coefficients to element sets.

•*MOONPOOL is used to define the location and extent of the vessel moonpool.
