Cover Story: This study considers the heave motion of a spherical buoy during a free-decay drop test. A comprehensive approach involving experimental measurements and complementary numerical calculations is adopted to examine the oscillations of the buoy. Excellent agreements are observed between the experimental data and the results of high-fidelity simulations. The conducted analysis reveals that the draft length of a buoy has a profound effect on the frequency and attenuation rate of its oscillations. The findings of this investigation provide much-needed insights into the motion response of a floating sphere that can be used for optimal buoy design for energy extraction. View this paper
