    • Wave environment assessment at a Norwegian harbor for land-based aquaculture facilities using a combined numerical approach 

      Reidulff, Knut (Master thesis, 2021)
      Numerical wave modeling of Norwegian coastal areas is challenging due to the strongly varying bathymetry, irregular coastline, and large domains of interest. Phase-averaged models provide an appealing solution due to their ...
    • Wave Impact Forces on complex structures during lowering through the splash zone 

      Selvåg, Anders (Master thesis, 2013)
      New oilfields are discovered further from land, at great depths and in harsh environments. Subsea developments of such fields are economical and preferred choice for operators today. One of the challenges is to process the ...
    • Wave induced effects on floaters of aquaculture plants 

      Kristiansen, David (Doctoral Theses at NTNU, 1503-8181; 2010:20, Doctoral thesis, 2010)
      The main objective of this work is to study wave loads on floaters of fish farms. Several incidents of major fish escapes due to structural collapse of fish farms in harsh weather have motivated this study, as a step towards ...

    • Wave induced motions of two ships advancing on parallel course 

      Ronæss, Marit (Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 64, Doctoral thesis, 2002)
      Under way replenishment between two ships is a critical operation, and accidents have been reported. Hydrodynamic interaction between the hulls may influence the forces and the motions of the vessels, and both manoeuvring ...
    • Wave inhomogeneities in a wave basin of constant water depth 

      Lafleche, Sebastien Jacques Marie; Ommani, Babak; Kristiansen, Trygve; Fouques, Sebastien (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Experimental testing of large marine structures in hydrodynamic laboratories requires an accurate reproduction of waves over a large area of the basin. However, with a uniform motion of the wavemaker, wave interactions ...

    • Wave load effect analysis of a floating bridge in a fjord considering inhomogeneous wave conditions 

      Cheng, Zhengshun; Gao, Zhen; Moan, Torgeir (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      When designing a floating bridge crossing a deep and wide fjord, a homogeneous wave field is usually assumed for simplicity. However, waves in fjords are commonly inhomogeneous, and hence the mentioned design practice ...
