Amouzadrad, P., Mohapatra, S.C. and Guedes Soares, C. (2025), Review on sensitivity and uncertainty analysis of hydrodynamic and hydroelastic responses of floating offshore structures, Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, Vol. 13(6), 1015

This review comprehensively overviews of theoretical and numerical methods used to assess the sensitivity and uncertainty in the hydrodynamic and hydroelastic behavior of floating offshore structures. The different methodologies associated with basic governing equations for floating offshore structure systems on the sensitivity and uncertainty assessments are discussed. Then, a brief overview of a comparative analysis of the methodologies, highlighting their key features, applications, and findings are provided in a Table form. In addition, a technical comparative analysis of different numerical models and a comparative analysis of the sensitivity of different mooring parameters are provided in a Table form as well. Further, the uncertainty and sensitivity analysis for floating structure systems are presened by providing detail discussions. In conclusion, this review highlights the revisions arising from the present analysis and outlines future research directions.
