Marine Construction Research Group
The Marine Constructions Group educates and conducts research in the fields of hydrodynamics and load effect analyisis on all types of marine structues; including ships, oil platforms, and pipelines. The research group works closely with the department's other research groups, MARINTEK and with SINTEF Building and Infrastructure.
Activities
Our key activities are related to
- Wave induced movements and loads of marine structures
- Vortex relief around marine structues
- Viscous attenuation
- Properties and sea loads on rapidly moving vessels
- Hydroelacticity / Slamming
- Wave description. Breaking waves
- Stocatic analysis of waves and wave induced response variables
- Ships resistance and propulsion. Propulsion theory, thrusters, water jet crafts
