Abstract
This paper investigates the hydrodynamical aspects of a float- ing two body system. The emphasis is geared to a side by side mooring of a FPSO vessel and a LNG carrier. The main focus is on the following issues:
• Determination of the mean and low frequency wave drift forces for multi-body systems
• Development of a robust linear potential solver for multi- body systems
In the paper a lid technique will be presented to circumvent unrealistic high water velocities on the ship's hull. Also the accurate integration of the complete Green's function will be highlighted.
