Wave-induced bottom shear stress estimation in shallow water exemplified by using deep water wind statistics
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The paper provides a simple and analytical method which can be used to give estimates of the wave-induced bottom shear stress for very rough beds and mud beds in shallow water based on wind statistics in deep water. This ... -
Wave-induced current for long-crested and short-crested random waves
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)This paper provides a simple analytical tool which can be used to calculate the wave-induced current beneath long-crested (2D) and short-crested (3D) random waves. The approach is based on assuming the waves to be a ... -
Wave-induced nonlinear effects on a pontoon-type Very Large Floating Structures (VLFS)
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2011:61, Doctoral thesis, 2011)The wave-induced nonlinear effects on the pontoon-type Very Large Floating Structure (VLFS) is investigated in this thesis. Typical dimensions of the pontoon-type VLFS such as a floating airport are 5000m in length, 2000m ... -
Waves and associated currents-experiences from 5 years metocean measurements in the northern North Sea

Waves' numerical dispersion and damping due to discrete dispersion relation
(Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2014)In linear Rankine panel method, the discrete linear dispersion relation is solved on a discrete free-surface to capture the free-surface waves generated due to wave-body interactions. Discretization introduces numerical ... -
A weak-scatterer potential flow theory-based model for the hydroelastic analysis of offshore wind turbine substructures
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)This paper examines the hydroelastic response of a monopile structure, supporting an offshore wind turbine. A new numerical simulation tool is presented, coupling a nonlinear potential flow solver to a structural model ... -
Weather optimal dynamic positioning of underactuated AUVs using output feedback control
(Journal article, 2006)In this paper we present an output feedback control system for dynamic positioning of underactuated AUVs. The control objective is to maintain a desired distance to the target while orienting the vehicle towards the target ... -
Weather Routing of Supply Vessels in the North Sea - Solving the Supply Vessel Weather Routing Problem
(Master thesis, 2015)This thesis is concerned with defining and solving the supply vessel weather routing problem. The particular problem in focus will be Statoil's supply circuit in the middle North Sea, including the Johan Sverdrup oil field. ... -
Weight Margins and Flexibility in Offshore Rigs
(Master thesis, 2013)The subject of this paper is the use of weight margins in the design and fabrication of large offshore oilrigs. Margins are a way of increasing the freedom of choice of the designers and a method of increasing the overall ... -
Wellhead platform subjected to accidental loads
(Master thesis, 2016)Cost reduction in the oil and gas industry forces new and innovative solutions. Unmanned wellhead platforms are alternative solutions for developing small fields which would normally be developed with subsea wellheads. For ... -
Wind and soil model influences on the uncertainty in fatigue of monopile supported wind turbines
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Several alternative engineering models are available for the use in analysis of offshore wind turbines. However, it is not always clear which of the models will yield the most accurate or sufficiently conservative results. ... -
Wind load on feed barge
(Master thesis, 2022)Fish is a kind of sustainable food for healthy diet, and it plays an important role in fulfilling human's future needs for healthy food. Norway is the world's largest fish exporter, and nearly half of the Norwegian fish ... -
Wind power plant grid-forming control and influences on the power train and power system oscillation
(Chapter, 2022)In future power systems, wind power plants are supposed to contribute in the voltage and frequency stability of the grid. For this purpose, the control strategy of the wind power-frequency converter system needs to change ... -
Wind Powered Marine Vehicle - A Concept Study
(Master thesis, 2015)In conventional sailboat design, the heeling momentum introduced by the rigid connection of foils in air and water is a limitation on the maximum ve- locity. By removing the hull all together, wetted surface induced drag ... -
Wind turbine drivetrains condition monitoring through SCADA data on farm level
(Master thesis, 2019)The offshore wind industry has grown rapidly over the last decade and drivetrains are increasing in size to reduce the cost of energy. These turbines are operating in a harsh environment. Adopting a preventive maintenance ... -
