• Numerical Analysis of a Floating Wind Turbine - Global Load Effects in the Tower Structure 

      Espedal, Mikal Hansson (Master thesis, 2016)
      The OO Star 10 MW is a semi-submersible floater that aims to support a 10 MW wind turbine. It consists of three outer columns with a shaft in the centre. The floater is designed to be built from concrete, and a steel tower ...
    • Numerical Investigation of Flow Around Rectangular Cylinders at Low Reynolds Numbers 

      Hanstveit, Britta (Master thesis, 2015)
      The study of flow around bluff bodies such as rectangular and circular cylinders is of direct relevance to several practical applications in the marine industry. The flow past bluff bodies involves several fluid phenomena, ...
    • Rational calculation of sea margin 

      Magnussen, Anna Karina (Master thesis, 2017)
      The sea margin is an important parameter when designing a ship. The sea margin describes how much added power is required in operational conditions compared to the calm water conditions in order to maintain a speed in ...
    • Roll Damping Investigation of Two-Dimensional Ship Section with Bilge-Boxes 

      Mukhlas, Muhammad (Master thesis, 2017)
      Roll motion is considered as one of the most difficult responses to be mathematically treated, this is due to the importance of the viscous effects. Several parameters may affect the roll motion hydrodynamically. Hence, ...
    • Submerged Towing and Upending of TLP Thethers - Numerical Simulations and Assessment of Operational Limits 

      Tvedt, Petter Andre (Master thesis, 2016)
      In the event of transport, installation and operation of subsea oil and gas factories, marine operations are often a huge part of the total capital expenditure. As a result of this, oil and gas companies are looking for ...
    • Tidal and Wind Driven Boundary Layer Flow in Coastal Zones 

      Andersen, Ingrid Rolland (Master thesis, 2018)
      The objective with this thesis is to investigate the start-up of a pure wind driven flow, and the effect of an suddenly increasing wind (starting from zero wind speed) on a tidally driven flow. This is done by performing ...
    • Ultimate Limit State Analysis of Havfarm 

      Holen, Vegard (Master thesis, 2017)
      Marin fish farming is in rapid development. Dimensions are expected to increase and locations are being moved to areas exposed to more energetic waves and stronger current. With increasing dimensions and more challenging ...
    • Use of Turbulence Stimulation on Ship Models 

      Ildstad, Jens Berg (Master thesis, 2018)
      In ship model testing the length based Reynolds number will be in the order of 100 times smaller than in full scale. As a consequence ship models often operates in the transition zone between laminar and turbulent flow. ...
    • Viscous Flow Around Inclined Circular Cylinder 

      Cai, Zhisong (Master thesis, 2017)
      Circular cylinder is of vital importance in the marine industry. The goal of this thesis is to study the physical phenomenon around the inclined circular cylinder as well as the forces acting on it. The study is mainly ...
