  • Numerical Simulation, Laboratory and Field Experiments, Analysis and Design of Wave Energy Converter and Mooring System

    Creator:
    Lou, Junhui
    Abstract:
    This dissertation studies the coupled fluid-structure interaction (FSI) of a wave energy converter (WEC) and evaluates the design of a WEC mooring system. The research is conducted in support of conceptual development, field test and performance evaluation of WECs as part of the mission of the Northwest National Marine Renewable...

  • Numerical Studies on Fluid-Structure Interaction and Applications

    Creator:
    Chen, Ming
    Abstract:
    Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) has been of significant research interest worldwide over the past several decades because of its variety of applications in both offshore and coastal engineering. Researchers analyzing FSI systems rely heavily on experimental tests in model scale in laboratories or large-scale sea trials. However, these tests are often...
