      This thesis reports the result of an experiment measuring the wake flow behind a curved circular cylinder at Re=3900 in water. The measurement technique used was Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). The cylinder is a convex ...
    • Wake Shielding Model Effect on Riser Dynamic Response 

      Fu, Ping; Leira, Bernt Johan; Myrhaug, Dag (Chapter, 2017)
      The paper provides a method to estimate the clearance between two flexible risers in tandem arrangement by taking into account the wake interference when subjected to a combined current plus waves flow. The wake interference ...
    • Wake structures and vortex-induced forces of a controlled in-line vibrating circular cylinder 

      Huang, Zhiyong; Ong, Muk Chen; Larsen, Carl Martin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      A two-dimensional numerical study was performed to investigate wake structures and fluid forces on a circular cylinder with prescribed vibrations in the in-line direction. Reynolds number was fixed at 500, and the SST k-w ...
    • Wall Modeled Large Eddy Simulation of Viscous Flow on the BeVERLI Hill Geometry 

      Engan, Lars (Master thesis, 2021)
      I denne masteroppgaven har vegg-modellert LES blitt brukt til å simulere den viskøse strømningen over BeVERLI hill geometrien. BeVERLI hill er en veggmontert «bump» som blir brukt i valideringsstudier av turbulente separerte ...
    • Water Entry of Freefall Wedges-Wedge Motions and Cavity Dynamics 

      Wang, Jingbo (Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2014:144, Doctoral thesis, 2014)
      When a free falling object enters a free surface of water, it may go through four successive phases: impact, flow separation from the body surface, creation and pinch-off of the cavity above the body, and oscillation of ...
    • Wave and Current Effects on Floating Fish Farms 

      Faltinsen, Odd Magnus; Shen, Yugao (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      The paper is partly a review on hydrodynamic and structural aspects of fish farms. In addition, new numerical results are presented on the stochastic behavior of bending stresses in the floater of a realistic net cage in ...
