... platform flow-induced motions, is studied and evaluated. 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...

...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...

... plates, oscillating perpendicularly to their planes in otherwise quiescent fluid, depend on the Keulegan–Carpenter number and on the Reynolds number. Concerning the monocolumn platform, the main damping contribution comes from drag forces, which shows to be weakly influenced by the Reynolds number...
