Fully nonlinear hydroelastic modeling and analytic solution of large-scale floating photovoltaics in waves

This paper concerns the fully nonlinear fluid–structure interaction (FSI) of Large-scale floating photovoltaics (LFPV) in waves. The Euler Bernoulli–von Kármán beam models the structure while potential flow represents the fluid. A set of coupled dynamical equations is established. The fully analytic solution is sought with the unified Stokes...
