... numerically. In general, the numerical and experimental approaches to establishing wind loads may be considered to be complimentary methods. The Wind Load JIP, in 2014 , was initiated with the aim of investigating the accuracy level and consistency of wind tunnel tests and CFD predictions for offshore...

... Abstract This paper suggests the improved technology to predict the wind and current loads on offshore structures such as FPSO and Semi-submersible. Wind tunnel tests and CFD analysis are conducted and results and application methods are discussed. The characteristics of flow and extrapolation...
