Undamped Natural Period of Vessel

Go Undamped Natural Period of a Vessel = 2*pi*(sqrt(Virtual Mass of the Ship/Effective Spring Constant))

Individual Stiffness of Mooring Line

Go Individual Mooring Line Stiffness = Axial Tension or Load on a Mooring Line/Elongation in the Mooring Line

Mass of Vessel given Virtual Mass of Vessel

Go Mass of a Vessel = Virtual Mass of the Ship-Mass of Vessel due to Inertial Effects

Virtual Mass of Vessel

Go Virtual Mass of the Ship = Mass of a Vessel+Mass of Vessel due to Inertial Effects

What are Ocean Moorings?

A mooring in oceanography is a collection of devices connected to a wire and anchored on the sea floor. It is the Eulerian way of measuring ocean currents, since a mooring is stationary at a fixed location. In contrast to that, the Lagrangian way measures the motion of an oceanographic drifter, the Lagrangian drifter
