Abstract
In recent years, Very Large Floating Structures (VLFS) such as floating airport have been planned for effective utilization of ocean space. The VLFS is some times sheltered by breakwater depending on the situation. This paper presents an effective scheme for calculating the wave-induced hydroelastic response of VLFS including the effect of breakwater.Part 1 report, at first, presented an effective calculation method of the diffracted wave field due to the existence of breakwater. And then it showed an approximate calculation method of the response of VLFS in that deformed wave field by the breakwater. In that method the mutual interaction between breakwater and floating structure was neglected.This part 2 report presents an exact calculation method of the response including the effect of the mutual interaction. And it shows some numerical results paying special attention on the resonance phenomena which occur depending on the relation of incident wave length and clearance between breakwater and floating structure.
