Dynamic Analysis of the Interaction Between Water Waves and Offshore Structures

Nonlinear Diffraction of Water Waves by Offshore Structures

in cylindrical polar coordinates is derived. This is followed by a review of the current knowledge on analytical theories and numerical treatments of nonlinear diffraction of water waves by offshore cylindrical structures. A brief discussion is made on water waves incident on a circular harbor with a narrow gap. Special emphasis is given to the resonance phenomenon associated with this problem....

Drift Motions of a Floating Barge in Random IVIuIti- Directional Wawes

This paper presents results of a numerical and laboratory investigation into the mooring line forces and slow drift oscillations of large floating structures in multidirectional waves. A procedure for computing the spectral density of the secondorder forces in random multi-directional waves based on the concept of a bidirectional, bifrequency quadratic transfer function is presented. Laboratory...

Fluid-structure interaction simulation of floating structures interacting with complex, large-scale ocean waves and atmospheric turbulence with application to floating offshore wind turbines

We develop a numerical method for simulating coupled interactions of complex floating structures with large-scale ocean waves and atmospheric turbulence. We employ an efficient large-scale model to develop offshore wind and wave environmental conditions, which are then incorporated into a high resolution two-phase flow solver with fluid-structure interaction (FSI). The large-scale wind-wave int...
