Ocean waves are random by nature and can be regarded as a superposition of a finite number of regular waves travelling in different directions with different frequencies and phases. Cylinder-shaped objects are commonly ...

For ship and offshore applications, the fluid-floating object interaction is of particular importance and accurate numerical calculations are required. However, low-order accurate methods are not sufficient to have decent ...

Coastal wave propagation and transformation are complicated due to the significant variations of water depth and irregular coastlines, which are typically present at the Norwegian fjords. A potential flow model provides ...

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 ...

An accurate representation of a given sea state is crucial for the study of hydrodynamic loads on offshore structures. It is straightforward to check the quality of the reproduced regular waves in a numerical wave tank ...

Stochastic wave properties are crucial for the design of offshore structures. Short-crested seas are commonly seen at the sites of offshore structures, especially during storm events. A long time duration is required in ...

A comprehensive understanding of the marine environment in the offshore area requires phase-resolved wave information. For far-field wave propagation, computational efficiency is crucial, as large spatial and temporal ...

Nonlinear wave interactions and superpositions among the different wave components and wave groups in a random sea sometimes produce rogue waves with extremely large wave heights that appear unexpectedly. A good understanding ...

Ocean wave propagations into harbours are large scale phenomena with complex wave transformations. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has the advantage of capturing most physics with few assumptions. It has also been ...

The design of coastal structures requires accurate simulations of the wave conditions. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) captures most complexities of the wave physics with few assumptions and therefore is considered to ...
