Advanced hydrodynamics for next generation of offshore infrastructure

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project aims to develop rigorous and precise prediction models for next generation offshore infrastructure, by capturing nonlinear wave-structure interaction. This project expects to generate new knowledge in offshore hydrodynamics (a branch of fluid mechanics) applicable to Ocean Engineering, using cutting-edge numerical technology, state-of-the-art physical modelling, and unique full-scale field data. The expected outcomes include enhanced capacity to estimate hydrodynamic response and advanced design tools for floating wind, floating solar and offshore aquaculture. This will provide significant benefit by enabling cost-efficient and viable designs, thereby accelerating the development of offshore renewable energy.
