Abstract
Part 1 of this two-part paper presents the development of a parametric model for the design of a floating breakwater conceived to protect a LNG terminal. The model is composed by a set of numerical scripts that perform the classical steps of a typical design spiral in order to evaluate weights and centers, stability margins, structural loads, wave attenuation capability, and seakeeping performance. Each of these models is discussed in terms of sensitivity analysis, which demonstrates the influences of different parameters in the global design. Especial attention is given to the analysis of the structure wave attenuation capability, in which the effects of water depth, underkeel clearance, wave period and direction, breakwater motions are investigated.
