Ice Rink Protection Systems: Improve and Apply a Numerical Model to Gain Insight in the Safety of Ice Rink Protection Systems

Many falls occur in speed skating, most of which end up in protective padding that is placed along the ice rink. In this research project a testing method was established that can be used to test the influence of different padding parameters on the performance of the padding in relation to the skaters’ injury risks. An existing numerical model...

Validation and Application of a Fully Nonlinear Numerical Wave Tank

The present thesis considers numerical computations of fully nonlinear fluid-structure interaction. The aim of the thesis is to establish a well validated fully nonlinear numerical wave tank for the simulations of complex fluid-structure interaction of moored floating offshore structures. The numerical computations are carried out using the...
