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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Abstract: Motivated by the increased interest in renewable energy and the need for validated hydrodynamic load models, a rigid monopile and a fully flexible large monopile wind turbine have been tested experimentally at a 1:50 model ...

Abstract: Recently, a method for numerical reproduction of measured irregular wave events has been developed. The measured motion of the wave maker flaps defines the wave kinematics at the boundary of the numerical simulation in ...

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 ...

Abstract: Estimation of the hydrodynamic loads based on strip theory using the Morrison equation provides an inexpensive method for load estimation for the offshore industry. The advantage of this approach is that it requires only ...
