Abstract
The present paper provides a brief review of the analysis of moored floating structures in waves and currents. A hydrodynamic analysis is required in order to predict wave and current effects on floating structures, and corresponding numerical models for determining transmitted and reflected wave heights, added masses, damping coefficients, and wave exciting forces are summarized. A mooring analysis is required in conjunction with the hydrodynamic analysis in order to calculate the restraint provided by the mooring system, as well as the structure motions, mooring line and anchor loads, and mooring line configurations. Various aspects of static, dynamic, and nonlinear responses are discussed and illustrated with example applications. Key words: coastal engineering, currents, floating structures, hydrodynamics, mooring forces, ocean engineering, wave forces, waves.
