TOWING TESTS ON A MODEL OF A SELF ELEVATING OFFSHORE PLATFORM IN WAVES

Towing tests on a model of a self elevating offshore platform ship with a large mat under water were carried out both in still water and in waves. The towing tensions, the motions and the behaviour of the model under the towing condition were measured. The result shows that the resistance of the platform in waves can be estimated by adding the increment of the resistance which is proportional to the square of the wave height to the resistance in still water. In Japanese.
