Experimental Fluid-Structure Interaction: On Providing Reliable Experimental Data for Validation of Fluid Structure Interaction in ComFlow

Structures at sea, which can either be floating or bottom-founded, are always affected by several types of dynamic loads from wind, waves and currents; with floating offshore structures subjected to more motion and loading from these loads. Hence, necessitating more in-depth hydrodynamic analyses. Increasing size and weight of these floating...

Reduced - complexity experiment for validating Fluid-Structure Interaction in ComFLOW

Human activities in marine environment are expanding to more remote locations, exposing offshore structures and commercial vessels to more adverse environmental conditions. On the other hand, market has a continuous demand for more cost efficient designs. Therefore, the need for more sophisticated computational tools arises. In these tools, the...
