This paper provides a checklist of topics and evidence from a number of sources to justify the selection that should be considered when designing spars or monocolumn platforms regarding the VIM phenomenon. An overview of the influential aspects...

... models for VIM prediction, especially that of monocolumn platforms. The present paper complements the former work of Gonçalves et al. ( 2 ) concerning monocolumns by comparing experimental results obtained in three different basins. The main idea here was to create a comprehensive database that can...

...Rodolfo T. Gonçalves; André L. C. Fujarra; Guilherme F. Rosetti; Kazuo Nishimoto A great deal of works has been developed on the spar vortex-induced motion (VIM) issue. There are, however, very few published works concerning VIM of monocolumn platforms, partly due to the fact that the concept...
