A FORTRAN IV Computer Program for the Time Domain Analysis of the Two- Dimensional Dynamic Motions of General Buoy-Cable-Body Systems

Abstract

The present report gives a detailed description of Program CABUOY, which analyzes in the time domain the two-dimensional dynamic behavior of general ocean cable systems consisting of a surface buoy, connecting cable, and intermediate bodies. The equations which model the motions of the surface waves and the various components of the cable system are presented, and the subroutines of the program are briefly outlined. Instructions on use of the program include a listing of the input READ statements, definitions of the input variables, and a number of comments on the entering of input data. Several sample problems are given to illustrate use of the program, the output of the program, and computer costs for a range of cases. The listing of the program is given in the appendix.
