This paper proposes a semi-analytical MacCamy–Fuchs–Morison (MFM) hybrid hydrodynamic model for very efficient simulations of FOWT responses without resorting to potential flow solvers. First, closed-form expressions of the 6-by-6 added mass matrix and 6-dimensional complex wave load transfer functi...
