Abstract: While existing literature on offshore structures does touch on model testing, a comprehensive text discussing the design, construction, instrumentation, testing and analysis of physical models is lacking. This book aims to fill that vacuum and provide, through its survey of the theoretical and practical aspects of physical modelling, an in-depth coverage of the technology of model testing. Although the main focus is on offshore construction, the text should prove of use to the entire field of engineering, and its breadth of scope should appeal not only to engineers and naval architects but to scientists interested in structural or hydraulic testing as well.

Experimental Comparison of Three Floating Wind Turbine Concepts
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of a comprehensive data analysis are presented which illuminate the unique coupled system behavior of the three floating wind turbines subjected to combined wind and wave environments, with an emphasis placed on global motions, flexible tower dynamics and mooring system response.
Fish cage and mooring system dynamics using physical and numerical models with field measurements
TL;DR: In this article, the dynamics of a fish cage and mooring system deployed in the Gulf of Maine are simulated with physical and numerical models and compared with field observations assuming that the system can be modeled as a linear system, a stochastic approach was used to analyze the motion response (heave, surge and pitch) characteristics of the fish cage.

Langevin equation with two fractional orders
TL;DR: In this paper, a new type of fractional Langevin equation of two different orders is introduced, known as the fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes, based on Weyl and Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives.

Methodology for Wind/Wave Basin Testing of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a unified methodology for Froude scale testing of floating wind turbines under combined wind and wave loading, and demonstrate the results using results from 1/50th scale floating wind turbine testing performed at MARIN's (Maritime Research Institute Netherlands) Offshore Basin which tested the 126 m rotor diameter NREL (National Renewable Energy Lab) horizontal axis wind turbine atop three floating platforms: a tensionleg platform, a spar-buoy and a semi-submersible.
