Abstract

This study presents the wave forces for spar platforms. The advantage of spar platform is that it is easy to manufacture and excellency to motion characteristics. It is important to estimate exactly wave force acting spar platforms for basic design of them. We measured the wave exciting force for classic spar and truss spar model, and accomplished the numerical calculation using diffraction theory. The results show that experimental values are good agreement with theoretical values. But it is difficult to estimate accurate value considering the heave plate of truss spar due to the viscosity.
