...Gang Wang; Tobias Martin; Liuyi Huang; Hans Bihs In this article, the hydrodynamics of and nonlinear interaction between the large offshore fish farm “ShenLan 1” and regular waves are investigated using the open-source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) toolbox REEF3D. The framework consists...

...Solomon C. Yim; Huan Lin; David C. Robinson; Katsuji Tanizawa The predictive capability of two-dimensional (2D) fully-nonlinear-potential-flow (FNPF) models of an experimental submerged moored sphere system subjected to waves is examined in this study. The experimental system considered includes...

... acting on the structure becomes highly nonlinear. In addition to the drag forces, the so called inundation effect due to the wave elevation, corrected to include second order waves, is also taken into account. In the present paper, the Monte Carlo method along with a special extrapolation technique...

... waves with ± 45 deg main directions relative to the basin axis. For that purpose, we study two generation techniques proposed, respectively, by Dalrymple and Molin which rely on the control of sidewall reflections in order to enlarge the testing zone. Both numerical and experimental results show...

... be described. We investigate these issues by means of a study of the responses of a typical FPSO to the wave fields at a location offshore Namibia and a location off the west coast of New Zealand. We make use of a state-of-the-art program for splitting a directional wave spectrum into wind-sea and swell...
