About

About the course

Course content

Source and dipole methods applied to hydrodynamic problems for marine structures. Effect of waves and current. Conventional ships and high speed vessels in calm water and waves. Nonlinear hydrodynamic loads on marine structures.CFD methods. Slamming. Whipping. Wave drift loads in irregular sea. Sum-frequency effects. Ringing.

Learning outcome

The goal is to give the students background to develop mathematical and physically based models and computer programs for wave-induced motions and loads on ships and ocean structures when potential flow effects dominates.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures. Mandatory exercises solved as teamwork.
