  • Large–Scale Laboratory Experiment and Numerical Simulation of Tsunami Forces on a Bridge Deck

    Creator:
    Xiang, Tao
    Abstract:
    The fluid impact forces on a bridge superstructure in horizontal and vertical directions due to tsunamis represented by solitary waves are investigated through a large-scale laboratory experiment and numerical simulations. The experiment is conducted in a two-dimensional wave basin using a 1:5 scaled reinforced concrete bridge deck model tested under...

  • Hydrodynamic contact/impact modeling and application to ocean engineering problems

    Creator:
    Challa, Ravi
    Abstract:
    Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) is a very interesting and challenging multi-disciplinary field involving interaction of a movable or deformable structure with an internal or surrounding fluid flow. FSI has several practical engineering applications such as the determination of the hydrodynamic forces on a structure or the dynamics of motion of bodies...

  • An efficient high-performance computing based three-dimensional numerical wave basin model for the design of fluid-structure interaction experiments

    Creator:
    Nimmala, Seshu B.
    Abstract:
    Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) is an interesting and challenging interdisciplinary area comprised of fields such as engineering- fluids/structures/solids, computational science, and mathematics. FSI has several practical engineering applications such as the design of coastal infrastructure (such as bridges, levees) subjected to harsh environments from natural forces such as tsunamis, storm surges,...
