Numerical study of green water loads on a fixed structure with elastic sidewalls by MPS-FEM coupled method

Abstract In rough seas, large masses of water will exceed the freeboard and cause violent slamming on deck, known as green water. Due to its high destructive power, many scientists have devoted themselves study Given complexity, various simplified methods been used mechanism stresses this paper, loads patterns events a fixed structure with rigid or flexible sidewalls were investigated using solver MPSFSI-SJTU based Moving Particle Semi-Implicit (MPS) method coupled Finite Element Method (FEM). The rapid flow-structure interaction is generated by wet dam-break method. Firstly, numerical simulation shipping was carried out, which in good agreement existing results. Secondly, simulations out for different cases structures elastic side wall upper wall. influence modulus wave waveform analyzed.
