Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium on Fluid- Structure Interaction
in Ocean Engineering, held in Hamburg, July 23-26, 2007.
The study of gravity driven water waves interacting with fixed
or freely floating objects is an active and important field of
research in ocean engineering. The accurate prediction of large
amplitude ship motions or of marine structures in severe seas is
still a delicate problem in the field of fluid-structure
interaction. While three-dimensional panel methods have reached the
state of maturity in linear sea-keeping analysis, the original
problem, governed by strongly nonlinear boundary conditions, is far
from being solved efficiently. The principal nonlinearities are
associated with the variable wetted surface of the ship hull or the
floating body and with the nonlinear hydrodynamic conditions on the
free surface. Moreover, marine structures often must be modelled as
multibody systems rather than a single body. This causes additional
problems due to wave slamming on floating and fixed structures.
Furthermore, problems such as coupled structural behavior of
submerged or floating systems as well as various wind effects have
to be considered for the proper design of offshore systems.
This book collects contributions from leading scientists working
on the following topics: Ocean waves, probabilistic models of sea
waves, fluid-loading on structures including pipes, cables,
drill-strings etc., behavior of floating systems, stability and
capsizing of ships, coupled structural behavior, sloshing in tanks,
CFD validation and verification.
