Abstract: This paper proposes an approximate solution for the varying speed impact of three-dimensional (3D) bodies on the water surface, with the assumptions that the fluid is considered to be incompressible, inviscid, weightless, ...

Abstract: The structural response of gravity-type fish cages in waves and currents is numerically investigated. A Morison model is adopted to compute the hydrodynamic forces acting on the net ropes and a screen model is used to ...

Abstract: The varying speed impact of wedge bodies on a water surface is studied numerically and theoretically to provide a fast and accurate prediction of the pressure on the wedge surface and the motion of wedge bodies during the ...

Abstract: The ballast control of a floating dock mainly relies on manual operations, which can be time-consuming and requires skilled workers. This study proposes an automatic ballast control system for floating docks, which improves ...

Abstract: The impacts of a plate on an asymmetric water wedge with constant and varying speeds are studied in this paper by considering the fluid to be incompressible, inviscid, and weightless; the effect of surface tension to be ...
