Bussemakers, P.J.M. (author)Climate change, as a result from global warming, requires an energy transition: the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels and a radical innovation of the global energy system to proceed apace. Offshore wind is an important source of clean, renewable energy, and it plays a key role in the transition. 80% of the worldwide...master thesis 2020

Gabriel, Maarten (author)A two-dimensional (2D) panel method is developed to find the first and second order wave forces acting on a semi-submerged cylinder in regular waves. The panel method is based on potential flow and the waves are modeled for both finite and infinite water depth. The motion is limited to heave, but allows for extensions to other modes as well. It...master thesis 2019

Kofou, Stavroula (author)The offshore wind industry has been extended over the last years in areas of active seismicity, such as East Asia, where the design of offshore wind turbines becomes significantly challenging, because albeit aerodynamic and hydrodynamic loads mainly act on the offshore structures, earthquake could emerge as a potentially enormous threat. The...master thesis 2019

Veldhuizen, Jelmer (author)Hydraulic structures that are surrounded by flowing water can experience undesirable Flow-Induced Vibrations. These vibrations have a record of negative consequences. The most important cause of vibrations is self-excitation. This is a mechanism in which the forces acting on the hydraulic gate are amplified by the movement of the hydraulic gate...master thesis 2017

Nagy, S.A. (author)The main objective of this study is to get an insight into the dynamic behaviour of a jack-up platform with lattice legs, in elevated condition. The main parameters to be examined are: a. Water loads b. Deck motions c. Hydrodynamic damping These parameters will ba investigated for the excitation ot the platform by a regular wave as weIl as a...master thesis 1986
