Notes:
Four methods of implementing Morison wave-force calculations for offshore tubular-jacket structures on distributed-memory parallel hardware are presented The Morison equation is given and the method by which it is used to calculate wave forces on members of an offshore structure is briefly described. A brief background to parallel computing and a description of the transputer hardware and software available to the authors is also given. Program structure and methods of achieving parallelism are explained. A number of test runs on an example structure have been timed and the resulting speed-ups are discussed.
