Aloha!On behalf of the OMAE 2009 Organizing Committee, it is a pleasure to welcome you to Honolulu, Hawaii for OMAE 2009, the 28th International Conference on Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering. This is the first conference with the new name, which reflects the expanded focus of the OOAE Division and the conference.

OMAE 2009 is dedicated to the memory of Profes-sor Subrata Chakrabarti, an internationally known offshore engineer, who passed away suddenly in Janu-ary. Subrata was the Offshore Technology Symposium coordinator, and he was also the Technical Program Chair for OMAE 2009. He was involved in the devel-opment of the OMAE series of conferences from the beginning, and his absence will be sorely felt.

OMAE 2009 has set a new record for the num-ber of submitted papers (725), despite an extremely challenging economic environment. The conference showcases the exciting and challenging developments occurring in the industry. Program highlights include a special symposium honoring the important accom-plishments of Professor Chiang C. Mei in the fields of wave mechanics and hydrodynamics and a joint forum of ‘Offshore Technology’, ‘Structures, Safety and Reliability’ and ‘Ocean Engineering’ Symposia on Shallow Water Waves and Hydrodynamics. We believe the OMAE 2009 program will be one of the best ever. Coupled with our normal Symposia, we will also have special symposia on:•Ocean Renewable Energy•Offshore Measurement and Data Interpretation•Offshore Geotechnics•Petroleum Technology

Welcome from Conference Chairs

We want to acknowledge and thank our distin-guished keynote speakers: Robert Ryan, Vice Presi-dent–Global Exploration for Chevron; Hawaii Rep. Cynthia Thielen, an environmental attorney who has a special passion for ocean renewable energy; and John Murray, Director of Technology Development with FloaTEC, LLC.

A conference such as this cannot happen without a group of dedicated individuals giving their time and talents to the conference. In addition to the regular symposia coordinators, the coordinators of the special symposia deserve many thanks for their efforts to orga-nize new areas for OMAE. We also want to express our appreciation to Dan Valentine, who stepped into the Technical Program Chair position on very short notice, following Subrata’s passing. We also want to thank Ian Holliday and Carolina Lopez of Sea to Sky Meeting Management Inc., who have done a great job with the organization. Thanks also go to Angeline Mendez from ASME for the tremendous job she has done handling the on-line paper submission and review process.

Honolulu is one of the top destinations in the world. We hope that you and your family will be able to spend some time pre or post conference enjoying the island of Oahu. Whether you’re learning to surf in legendary Waikiki, hiking through the rich rainforests of Waimea Valley, or watching the brilliant pastels of dusk fade off of Sunset Beach, you’ll find variety at every turn on Oahu.

Welcome Letters

Welcome to the 28th International Conference on Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering (OMAE 2009). This is the 28th conference in the OMAE series guided by and influenced significantly by our friend and colleague, Subrata K. Chakrabarti. It was a shock for me to learn that he had passed away so suddenly; all involved with this conference express sincere condolence to his family, friends and colleagues (the sentiments echoed by all of us are eloquently expressed in the dedication included in this program). It is a great honor for me to have been asked to continue his work on this conference. I and our community will miss his leadership and friendship greatly. Although this series of conferences was formally organized by ASME and the OOAE Division of the International Petroleum Technology Institute (IPTI), it was Subrata’s skill and dedication to this division of ASME that made this series of conferences the success that it has been and is today.

Welcome from Technical Program Chair

The papers presented at OMAE 2009 are divided into thirteen symposia. They are:•SYMP-1: Offshore Technology •SYMP-2: Structures, Safety and Reliability •SYMP-3: Materials Technology •SYMP-4: Pipeline and Riser Technology •SYMP-5: Ocean Space Utilization •SYMP-6: Ocean Engineering •SYMP-7: Polar and Arctic Sciences and Technology •SYMP-8: CFD and VIV •SYMP-9: C.C. Mei Symposium on Wave Mechanics

and Hydrodynamics •SYMP-10: Ocean Renewable Energy •SYMP-11: Offshore Measurement and Data

Interpretation •SYMP-12: Offshore Geotechnics •SYMP-13: Petroleum Technology

The first eight symposia are the traditional sym-posia organized by the eight technical committees of the OOAE Division. The other symposia are specialty symposia organized and encouraged by members of the technical committees to focus on topics of current interest. The 9th symposium was organized to recog-nize the contributions of Professor C. C. Mei. Symposia 10, 11, 12 and 13 offer papers in the areas of renew-able energy, measurements and data interpretation, geotechnical and petroleum technologies as they relate to ocean, offshore and polar operations of industry, government and academia.

The first symposium, Symposium 1: Offshore Tech-nology was always Subrata Chakrabarti’s project. It was typically the largest of the symposia at OMAE. His exemplary work on this symposium provided the expe-rience and guidance for others to continue to develop the other symposia. Symposium 1 in conjunction with the OMAE series of conferences is Subrata’s legacy. The Executive Committee has a most difficult yet honorable task of finding a successor to carry on this important annual symposium in offshore engineering. We are all grateful for the inspiration and encouragement pro-vided to all of us by Subrata.

Please enjoy the papers and presentations of OMAE 2009.

Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering (OOAE) Divi-sion of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is focused on both scientific and technical interests related to the better understanding of environ-mental loading, hydrodynamic behavior, materials se-lection, structural strength, offshore geotechnics, safety and in-service performance of ships, floating units and subsea equipment, mainly associated with the oil & gas industry. More recently, challenges imposed by climate change have motivated a new initiative on ocean renewable energies from waves, tides and currents and, also, on innovative solutions for offshore wind energy.

The OMAE Conference is widely recognized as the main international event that brings together aca-demia, industry and regulatory institutions to exchange experiences on relevant subjects in the interest of the ocean engineering activities. The international ap-proach, characterized by the diversity of both technical interests and regional themes, has gained the recogni-tion as providing an outstanding environment to learn from each other. The conference provides a forum for better interaction between field experience and research activities. The quality of the papers has moti-vated the ISI Web of Knowledge to consider the OMAE Conference as one that deserves special attention from the scientific community.

In addition to the eight traditional symposia, Offshore Technology, Structures, Safety & Reliability, Materials, Pipeline & Riser, Ocean Space Utilization, Ocean Engineering, Polar & Arctic Sciences and Tech-nology, CFD & VIV, there will be five special symposia: Wave Mechanics & Hydrodynamics (in honor of Prof.

Segen F. Estefen OOAE Division Chair

Chiang C. Mei), Offshore Renewable Energy, Off-shore Measurement & Data Interpretation, Offshore Geotechnics and Petroleum Technology. Three short courses taught by world-renowned experts will be offered in Ice Engineering, Wave Energy and Vortex-Induced Vibrations.

Special thanks to the Conference Chairs, R. Cengiz Ertekin and H. Ronald Riggs, and to the Technical Program Chair, Daniel Valentine, who put together a very interesting program for this one week event. Thanks also to the International Advisory Committee, the local organizers, the symposium coordinators, the session organizers, the authors of the papers and the distinguished audience.

OMAE 2009 will be dedicated to our dear friend Subrata Chakrabarti. He contributed continuously for more than two decades to the OOAE Division and dur-ing this period, coordinated the Offshore Technology Symposia of the OMAE conferences.

On behalf of the OOAE Division of ASME, I would like to welcome you to OMAE 2009, which will be held in a beautiful location, in which the most challenging aspects related to ocean, offshore and arctic engi-neering will be presented, discussed and experiences exchanged in a truly international atmosphere.

Subrata Kumar ChakrabartiIn this occasion of remembrance of our friend Subrata, first we extend our sincerest condolences to his wife Prakriti, daughter Sumita, son Prabal and granddaugh-ter Sajni. Like his family, his friends and colleagues in the OMAE community are deeply shaken by this great loss. He was kind, considerate, friendly, but his hallmark was a great smile, and his greatest virtue was his humility. He possessed a keen love to teach and to share his shining intellect, and we are so blessed to have had the opportunity to serve with such a cordial human. He inspired us by setting a great example how to serve our profession by loving and working with people of different origins, religions, and cultures. He loved his native Bengali culture, music, and the works of the Bengali poet and Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore.

Subrata received his B.S. degree in 1963 from Jadavpur University (India) and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in 1965 and 1968 from the University of Colorado. He had a 20-yr career at Chicago Bridge & Iron (CBI) in Plainfield (Illinois) as Director of Marine Research, followed by a career in consulting and a member of the College of Engineering faculty at the University of Illinois in Chicago. He lectured at many universities, has written 7 books on offshore engineer-ing, numerical modeling in fluid-structure interaction, hydrodynamics and vibrations, and authored over 125 refereed and over 75 conference papers. He gave an enormous amount of his time and energy to our pro-fession by organizing international conference series such as the OMAE Offshore Symposia. His participation on numerous editorial boards included service as:• TechnicalEditor,America,AppliedOceanResearch,Elsevier,1998-2009.• AssociateEditor,OceanEngineering,Elsevier,since2006.• TechnicalEditor,JOMAE/ASME,1986–96.• Co-Editor,Proc.,Fluid-StructureInteraction,WIT,vol.I,2001,vol.II,2003.• AssociateEditor,AppliedOceanResearch,Elsevier,1991–98.• AssociateEditor,JournalofEnergyResourcesTechnology,ASME,1984–1986.

MARIN advises the international maritime industry on ship behaviour and offshore structures at sea. We provide hydrodynamic

advice, verified by model tests, computer simulations, simulator training and full-scale measurements. The MARIN Offshore department is involved in the development of all kinds of innovative offshore structures

operating at large water depths (even up to 3000 m) under extreme conditions like hurricanes. Our Offshore Basin is over 10 m deep (besides a 30 m deep pit for TLPs) and has the latest current and wave generation technology. Further we develop and

apply our own simulation software. MARIN’s test facilities and simulation programs are considered state-of-the-art by our customers (oil companies, offshore contractors, engineering offices, shipyards and port authorities). But most important is the knowledge and motivation

of MARIN’s 280 employees. At our Wageningen and Houston offices we are always looking for enthousiastic:

PhD/MSc students

Challenging wind and waves

For (PhD/MSc) students we regularly have interesting internships in the broad field of Offshore hydrodynamics. You can co-operate with our specialists in this fields for a period of 6 to 12 months. For more information about our department, see www.marin.nl. Our Offshore department consists of 25 enthusiastic and committed colleagues (2 located at our Houston office) who carry out the projects in close and informal co-operation with our clients. Our employees have their background in Naval Architecture, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mathematics or Applied Physics.

Linking hydrodynamic research to the maritime industry

• Have you acquired an MSc or PhD in a technical field, or working on it as a student?• Are you prepared to keep developing yourself in a technically challenging environment?• Would you like to solve and report complex problems in order to help our customers with clear and sound advice?• Are you talented combining theoretical insight with practical organisational skills?• Could you share our fascination for waves, currents and the behaviour of offshore structures?

MARIN can offer you a challenging internship in the field of offshore hydrodynamics with a possibility to become one of our future collegues, either in the Wageningen or Houston offices.
