... characteristics of the current generated in the basin. Three different current profiles, i.e. uniform, Gulf of Mexico (GoM) and Brazil profiles, were directly generated by applying the same current generation system as the DOEB and their accuracy was examined. In addition, an optimization algorithm based on cost...

..., and using genetic optimization algorithm, the mooring system equivalent truncated mathematical model is designed by in-house computer programs. Restoring force characteristic curves of the truncated mooring system, top tension and displacement characteristic curves of a single mooring line are drawn...
