Description:The report is broken up into four sections. Section 1 describes the requirements of the Analysis & Technology, Inc. task effort and presents the overall conclusions and recommendations. Section 2, written by Kenneth M. Webman, describes the analytical procedures which must be incorporated into the design of a CWP. A brief review of the state-of-the-art for analysis of offshore structures and the need for a shell analysis for the OTEC CWP are included. Section 3 represents the bulk of the report and was written by Dr. Henno Allik. Included in this section is a survey of available shell computer programs, both special purpose and general purpose, and discussions of the features of these dynamic shell programs and how the hydrodynamic loads are represented within the computer programs. Section 4, written by Dr. Mai com L. Spaulding and Dr. Frank M. White describes the hydrodynamic loads design criteria for the CWP. An assessment of the current state of knowledge for hydrodynamic loads is presented.
