DYNAMIC RESPONSE OF SURFACE-MOORED VERTICAL BARRIER TO WAVE ACTION BY ANALOG AND DIGITAL SIMULATION

The two dimensional dynamics of an oil containment barrier which was designed to have very low tensile loads due to current and waves, were simulated with a theoretical model. The model was solved on both analog and digital computers, and a lab test program conducted to verify the model.
