Simulating the free decay motion and wave radiation from a heaving semi-submerged sphere poses significant computational challenges due to its three-dimensional complexity. By leveraging axisymmetry, we reduce the problem to a two-dimensional simulation, significantly decreasing computational demands while maintaining accuracy. In this paper, we ex...
In ocean engineering, accurate and efficient numerical simulations are crucial. Leveraging axisymmetry vastly enhances the efficiency of a simulation, reducing a three-dimensional scenario to a two-dimensional simulation. Exploiting axisymmetry enables a significant reduction in computational demand while maintaining simulation fidelity. In this pa...
Normal flow past flat plates at high Reynolds numbers appears in various engineering contexts. To accurately model such flows for slender plates in Computational Fluid Dynamics requires scale-resolving rather than scale-modeling methods. The present paper uses Detached-Eddy Simulation to investigate the influence of plate corner curvature on global...
The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources is critical to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase global energy access and security. To harness the abundant renewable energy resources from and at the ocean, the European Union has set ambitious targets to increase its installed capacity of offshore renewable energy technologie...
With increasing demand for renewable energy resources, the development of alternative concepts is still ongoing. The wave energy sector is still in vast develop- ment on the way to contribute to the energy production world wide. The present study presents the development of the Exowave wave energy converter made so far. A numerical model has been e...
We numerically simulate the hydrodynamic response of a floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) using CFD. The FOWT under consideration is a slack-moored 1:70 scale model of the UMaine VolturnUS-S semi-submersible platform. This set-up has been experimentally tested in the COAST Laboratory Ocean Basin at the University of Plymouth, UK. The test cases...
Normal flow past flat plates at high Reynolds numbers appears in various engineering contexts. To accurately model such flows for slender plates in Computational Fluid Dynamics requires scale-resolving rather than scale-modelling methods. The present paper uses Detached-Eddy Simulation to investigate the influence of plate corner curvature on globa...
Highly accurate and precise heave decay tests on a sphere with a diameter of 300 mm were completed in a meticulously designed test setup in the wave basin in the Ocean and Coastal Engineering Laboratory at Aalborg University, Denmark. The tests were dedicated to providing a rigorous benchmark dataset for numerical model validation. The sphere was b...
The design of large diameter monopiles (8–10 m) at intermediate to deep waters is largely driven by the fatigue limit state and mainly due to wave loads. The scope of the present paper is to assess the mitigation of wave loads on a monopile by perforation of the shell. The perforation design consists of elliptical holes in the vicinity of the splas...
