Mooring Analysis Using Openfoam

Subodh21 · July 12, 2016, 11:49

Hi,

I have recently started using openfoam for my CFD project.
I am interested to simulate mooring analysis of an offshore structure, moored using mooring lines, to the sea bed.

I would like to know if anyone has done that, and can point me in correct direction.

I have researched few papers which have used MOODY code (written in Matlab) to connect with openfoam simulation, are there any other approach without using Matlab code( as i dont have Matlab).

If anyone could share the code which i can study and optimize to my problem would be of great help.

Thanks

Dear Subodh,

My project is about floating breakwater and I also want to simulate mooring line in my project. Do you have any materials or examples about mooring in openfoam? Cam you help me with this problem?

Thank you in advance!

Best regards,
Deng
