Behavior Analysis of Floating Structure by Particle Method

Abstract

The floating/fixed ocean structures such as wind power plants and other structures on offshore have to be taken account of safety in rough sea and tsunami. It is necessary to predict behaviors of floating structures and fluid. The structures in the ocean are subjected to forces from the fluid. Particle methods of fluid dynamics have advantages for predicting the stabilization and the safety than other numerical methods. In the present paper, the behaviors of the floating structures are predicted by using δ-SPH method.
