Abstract:In this paper, the focused wave and current interaction with a moored JIP Spar platform are investigated using a time-domain higher order boundary element method (THOBEM). Embodied by a linear superposition of finite cosine waves, the focused wave can be efficiently simulated through adjusting the initial phase of cosine wave and adding corrected wave. The finite element method is used to simulate the distortion and tension of the mooring system. The great effects of current and mean drift forces on the position and amplitude of the focus peak value of hydrodynamic characteristics are investigated. ? 2012 by International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers.
