How does one find the hydrodynamic added mass and damping coefficients with Workbench, any tutorial?

07 January 2022 1 3K Report

I am working with a semi-submersible floating offshore wind turbine system and would like to find the frequency domain hydrodynamic coefficients. I am using Workbench to do it but and just learning so any assistance by way of tutorial or otherwise would be helpful.

Thank you.

Regards,

AOAW

If you mean Ansys Workbench, you can use Aqwa. It does exactly what you are asking. I attached some tutorials, but since i have not been using Aqwa in a long time, i'm not sure if they are up to date.

An alternative is using open source software like Capytaine or HAMS:

- Capytaine: https://ancell.in/capytaine/latest/

- HAMS: https://github.com/YingyiLiu/HAMS
