Fluid flow characteristic around round-shaped FPSO

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is currently representing almost 30% of the imported natural gas worldwide. In order to cover the demand of LNG, there is growing interest to unlock and monetize these reserves with LNG FPSO (Liquefied Natural Gas Floating Production Storage Offloading) facilities. Develo...
