Q: What is the basis for the suggested added mass and damping for launch barges? REV 7.04 A: Originally these numbers were based on the high frequency results in a frequency domain analysis for nominal launch barge in a nominal launch position. These…

Q: How does MOSES compute the added mass on a plate? REV 7.02 A: The added mass for plates and #PLATES is computed as defined in DNV Classification Notes 30.5; i.e. the added mass depends on the aspect ratio of the submerged portion of the plate. For…

Q: Is the added mass coefficient reported by MOSES the total added mass? In other words, will the total added mass be the displacement x the added mass coefficient reported or displacement x (1 + added mass coefficient reported). REV 7.01 A: This is…
