Research on procedures to estimate 3D response of Vortex Induced Motion (VIM) of multi-column floaters based on 2D CFD calculations

It is well known to offshore industry that current can trigger significant in-line and cross-line motions on floating offshore structures due to resonance. For a small dimension structure, like risers, this will lead to Vortex Induced Vibration (VIV). A lot of research has been carried out on this topic. However, for a large dimension structure,...

Weight and Volume Optimization of a Three-phase Inverter

Three-phase inverters are widely used in industries. Due to the advancements in semiconductor technologies, researchers have witnessed a continuous increase in the power density of inverters over the decades. Meanwhile, on the basis of such advancement, designers are also pushing the power density to its limit by minimizing the weight and volume...
