UPWIND WP4: Offshore Support Structures and Foundations<br />
Figure 8.24: Mesh used to discretise the free-surface <strong>for</strong> the computation <strong>of</strong> the second-order hydrodynamic quantities <strong>for</strong><br />
the semi-submersible plat<strong>for</strong>m.<br />
This section presents the results <strong>for</strong> monochromatic, head-on waves <strong>for</strong> the same wave periods and heights<br />
listed in Table 8.13. For a monochromatic wave, the second-order excitation <strong>for</strong>ce is given by Equation 3-11.<br />
The non-dimensional values <strong>of</strong> the sum- and difference- <strong>for</strong>ce QTFs <strong>for</strong> the three monochromatic wave periods<br />
considered in the present study are given in Table 8.18. The first-order excitation <strong>for</strong>ces are also given <strong>for</strong><br />
comparison in Table 8.19 <strong>for</strong> the same modes and wave periods. The sum- frequency components <strong>of</strong> the <strong>for</strong>ce<br />
QTFs (f+) are higher than the difference- frequency components (f-) <strong>for</strong> all modes and monochromatic waves.<br />

heave(3), roll (4), pitch (5) and yaw (6) modes at three monochromatic wave periods <strong>for</strong> the semi-submersible plat<strong>for</strong>m.<br />
