Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
On completing this module, students will be able to
demonstrate knowledge and understanding of:
1.Deep and shallow water wave kinematics;
2.Wave, current and motion induced loading on floating
offshore renewable energy structures
3.Wind and current force formulations
4.Derivation and solution of dynamic motion equations
Subject Specific Skills: Opportunities are afforded to develop
the following subject-specific skills:
1. Students will be able to predict the environmental forces and resulting motions of fixed and floating wave and tidal energy devices.
2. Students will be able to predict the structural loading on fixed and floating wave and tidal energy devices. |
