Deep Water Challenge Met-Ocean conditions Many of the deep water areas offer through their location considerable met-ocean challenges. As an example, the deep water Gulf of Mexico has substantial surface currents (“Loop current eddies”) with ....... [meer] Extrteme wave impact on offshore platforms and coastal structures Dynamic positioning evaluation study Arctic Engineering Ice induced platform motions The first time in the Bohai sea and the yellow sea in China vibrations on platform were observed in-situ due to the movement of ice packs around the platform The dynamic loads affect not only the rou....... [meer] Hydrodynamics Hydrodynamics of fast smell craft For the evaluation of the hydrodynamics of fast small craft for e.g. rescue or surveillance operations one is often confronted with the strong non-linear behaviour of these type of ships in waves. Th....... [meer] Development of a product modeller for concept ship design Renewable Energy Fundam,entals of energy conversion There is a strong link between the challenges of the offshore and shipbuilding industry and renewable energy from the tides, waves and (offshore) wind. Ship and platform motions in waves relate to wav....... [meer] Dredging engineering Excavation and Production Processes To excavate soil or minerals the dredging vessels are in contact with the sea floor generating excavation forces and torques, which have to be counteracted. The proposals will focus on the vital and c....... [meer] High density soil/ water mixture behaviour Hydrodynamics and fluid dynamics Viscous drag reduction Viscous drag is one of the prime energy dissipaters in ship operations. The major component of the total resistance of a ship in water is the viscous drag contribution (usually well over 50%). In the .......
