The heave motion of a new cylindrical floating drilling production storage and offloading system (FDPSO) with extended cylinder, anti-motion structure and a gap between the extended cylinder and anti-motion structure under high sea conditions was investigated by implementing numerical simulations for its reduced-scale laminar flow model (1:77.8) using the CFD software STAR-CCM+. The effect of changing the width (10
