| Summary | This course aims to foster knowledge and understanding of
factors influencing the dynamic behaviour of fixed and floating offshore renewable energy devices. It will also develop skills required to predict dynamic motions and structural responses. The course is focussed on generic, fundamental fluid mechanics and fluid-structure interaction.
|
| Course description |
1. Shallow and deep water wave kinematics;
2. wave, wind and current force predictions;
3. Morison Equation, Froude-Krylov forces, diffraction and
radiation forces, wave impact and slamming forces;
4. single and multi-degree of freedom systems, rigid-body equations of single and multi-body systems and their solutions; vortex induced vibrations and motions;
5. slowly varying motions due to second-order wave and wind forces;
6. soil-structure interaction of gravity based structures;
7. case studies to predict the dynamic response analysis of various fixed and floating offshore renewable energy devices;
8. aero/hydrofoil theory, blade design;
9. wakes and turbulence.
