    Abstract: This invention relates generally to testing apparatus and methodology for measuring fluid dynamic properties of structures within fluid flows. One embodiment includes a fluid induced motion testing apparatus of the type which includes a test rig suitable for holding a test body in a fluid body. The apparatus may include any of an actuator suitable for producing a force upon the test body; a turbulence generator located in the fluid body up current from the test body suitable for generating a turbulent flow field with uniform turbulence intensity across the fluid body-test body interface, the turbulent flow field including dominate vortical structures, the axis of the vortical structures about parallel to the longitudinal axis of the test body; or a test body adjuster suitable for adjusting the test body relative to the fluid current in four or more increments, thereby enabling multiple headings of the test body to be tested against the current of the fluid body. This invention also relates to designing and constructing offshore structures and to producing hydrocarbon resources using offshore structures designed using the testing apparatus and methodology.

    Abstract: A tank is provided that reduces sloshing pressures in the corner sections of a tank, such as an LNG membrane tank. The tank includes a sloshing impact reduction system placed in selected corner sections within the tank. The system serves as a slosh attenuation system, and reduces the severity of the corner geometry and improves the flow of fluids into the tank corner. In one embodiment, an impermeable structure is disposed in an internal corner section of the tank. The impermeable structure may be a triangular planar surface, or a non-planar structural surface. The non-planar structural surface may be a concave surface or other curved surface. In another arrangement, a permeable structure is placed in an internal corner section of the tank. Such a permeable structure would enable fluid to pass through the device, but would reduce the fluid velocities and accelerations via friction or eddies. The permeable structure may be either rigid or flexible.
