Drag coefficient and damping of moorings and their effect on FPSO's response
… Mooring line damping is mainly caused by hydrodynamic drag force, so variations of CD would definitely affect the mooring line damping and line dynamic tension. Through the sensitivity study, it is found that at the top and town-down zone of a mooring line, where chain segment is normally used …
