Study of Water Impact and Entry of a Free Falling Wedge Using Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Many offshore constructions and operations involve water impact problems such as water slamming onto a structure or free fall of objects with subsequent water entry and emergence. Wave slamming on semisubmersibles, vertical ...
REEF3D::FNPF—A Flexible Fully Nonlinear Potential Flow Solver
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In situations where the calculation of ocean wave propagation and impact on structures are required, fast numerical solvers are desired in order to find relevant wave events. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-based numerical ...
Numerical Simulation and Analysis of Phase-Focused Breaking and Non-Breaking Wave Impact on a Fixed Offshore Platform Deck
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Extreme wave impact due to tsunamis and storm surge create large wave heights that cause destruction to coastal and offshore structures. Focused waves have been used to represent such extreme waves, and in the present ...
Identification and Investigation of Extreme Events Using an Arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian Approach With a Laplace Equation Solver and Coupling to a Navier–Stokes Solver
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Increased deployment of offshore wind turbines is seen as an important pathway to increase green renewable energy production. Improved and rapid identification of extreme events and evaluation of hydrodynamic loads due to ...
REEF3D Wave Generation Interface for Commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics Codes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In recent years, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) developments have shown a trend to combine Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) CFD simulation with other methods such as wave theories or velocity potential-based ...
Three Dimensional Numerical Modeling of Pier Scour Under Current and Waves Using Level Set Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A threedimensional (3D) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model is used to calculate the scour and the deposition pattern around a pier for two different boundary conditions: constant discharge and regular waves. The CFD ...
Numerical Investigation of Focused Waves and Their Interaction With a Vertical Cylinder Using REEF3D
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: For the stability of offshore structures, such as offshore wind foundations, extreme wave conditions need to be taken into account. Waves from extreme events are critical from the design perspective. In a numerical wave ...
Extreme Wave Generation, Breaking, and Impact Simulations Using Wave Packets in REEF3D
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: On several occasions, freak waves have been observed in the past, some causing severe damage. In order to model such extreme wave conditions, one possibility is to use focused waves of first- or second-order based on ...
Efficient Wave Modeling Using Nonhydrostatic Pressure Distribution and Free Surface Tracking on Fixed Grids
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: For the estimation of wave loads on offshore structures, relevant extreme wave events need to be identified. In order to achieve this, long-term wave simulations of relatively large scales need to be performed. Computational ...
Focused Plunging Breaking Waves Impact on Pile Group in Finite Water Depth
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Accuracy estimation of wave loading on cylinders in a pile group under different impact scenarios is essential for both the structural safety and cost of coastal and offshore structures. Differing from the interaction of ...
