An experimental study and a three-dimensional numerical wave basin model of solitary wave impact on a vertical cylinder

Creator:

Zhang, Wenbin

Abstract:

An experiment on solitary wave impact on a vertical cylinder was conducted in the three-dimensional wave basin at the Oregon State University Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory. The cylinder was designed using mechanic principles and finite element analysis techniques to enable accurate measurement of horizontal force and overturning moment. Video data...

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...

Multiscale analysis of saturated flow in a porous medium with an adjacent thin channel

Creator:

Morales, Fernando A.

Abstract:

This thesis contains three parts addressing the asymptotic analysis of fluid flow through fully saturated porous medium in the presence of an adjacent thin channel. In the first part the problem is modeled by Darcy's law in both the porous medium and in the channel. The permeability in the channel...
