Mooring Engineering    (with an eye toward AWE)
  • Mooring water hulls and floating platforms is a form of kiting; studying mooring with an eye for AWE may prove fruitful. The huge "wings" are the hulls and platforms; the mooring lines are the tethers; mooring lines are anchored. The media for the hulls and platforms is a combination of water and air. Also, there is a "wave" media dimension.  Tethers or mooring lines are variously in water or air or both. Anchors also vary in media: seabed, water, artificial wharf-based, etc.    We may also envision traditional aerial kite systems as a realm of mooring water-based hulls and platforms.  And there is overlap as one might see in, say, kiteboarding; may we deal with such in other topics while having a focus on traditional hull mooring for this topic space.
