3D Performance Simulation of Breakwater and Gangway Structures Using Computational Fluid Dynamics and Finite Element Analysis

海洋石油公司制造定制的商业和住宅船坞系统和船坞套件。该公司**的目标是不断开发和研究新的和创新的产品，这些产品具有功能性和**结构可靠性，并具有环保意识。在过去的25年里，该公司一直在设计和**建造码头，专注于产品改进，以便能够**提供从码头和舷梯到浮标和配件的各种海洋产品。为了提供**增强的系统，他们研究了不同的材料和联合设计，结果是**了解环境因素，以生产适合于个别情况的定制码头解决方案。**该公司致力于为客户提供可靠和耐用的系统，同时将**对环境的影响降至最低。**最近，Seaco Marine开始为一种新的应用开发防波堤系统。现已有**当前设计的3D模型，需要进行动态分析以了解活载荷和静载荷**的影响，包括主风引起的海浪影响、经过的船只可能产生的尾流以及**水位的季节性变化。能够模拟波浪消散的模拟软件考虑了多种因素，将使公司能够最终确定设计。对于防波堤，优化设计不仅取决于结构荷载，还取决于对动态流体流动的响应。此外，**还出现了一项需要80英尺长的过道的申请。这一长度超过了目前**经过验证的设计，需要对结构完整性进行评估和预测。SeaCo已选择与**红河学院的航空航天与制造技术接入中心(TACAM)团队合作，以**分析和研究**各种流体流动参数，以使用**计算流体动力学(CFD)模拟优化概念防波堤的设计，以及2)静态和动态加载，以优化

Seaco Marine Inc. manufactures custom commercial and residential dock systems and dock kits. The company**aims at continually developing and investigating new and innovative products that are functional and**structurally dependable as well as being environmentally conscious. The company has been designing and**building docks over the past twenty-five years with a focus on product improvement such that they are able to**offer a wide array of marine products from docks and gangways to floats and accessories. In a quest to provide**enhanced systems, they have investigated different materials and joint designs with the desirable outcome of**understanding environmental factors to produce custom dock solutions appropriate for individual situations.**The company is committed to providing its customers with reliable and durable systems while minimizing**environmental impact.**Recently, Seaco Marine has begun developing a Breakwater system for a new application. 3D models of the**current design are available and a dynamic analysis is required to understand the effect of live and dead**loading, including impact of waves caused by prevailing winds, potential wake from passing watercraft and**seasonal changes in water level. Simulation software capable of modelling wave dissipation taking a multitude**of factors into consideration will allow for the company to finalize a design. For a breakwater, design**optimization is dependent not only on structural load, but also on response to dynamic fluid flow. In addition,**an application requiring a gangway measuring 80 feet in length has also arisen. This length exceeds currently**proven designs and requires evaluation and prediction of structural integrity. Seaco has opted to partner with**Red River College's Technology Access Centre for Aerospace and Manufacturing (TACAM) team to analyze**and study 1) various fluid flow parameters for design optimization of the concept breakwater using**computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation and 2) static and dynamic loading for optimization of the
