Offshore Hydromechanics includes the following modules:
1. Hydrostatics, static floating stability, constant 2-D potential flow of ideal fluids, and flows in real fluids. Introduction to resistance and propulsion of ships. Review of linear regular and irregular wave theory.
2. Analytical and numerical means to determine the flow around, forces on, and motions of floating bodies in waves.
3. Higher order potential theory and inclusion of non-linear effects in ship motions. Applications to motion of moored ships and to the determination of workability.
4. Interaction between the sea and sea bottom as well as the hydrodynamic forces and especially survival loads on slender structures.
Part 2 of offshore hydromechanics (OE4630) involves the linear theory of calculating 1st order motions of floating structures in waves and all relevant subjects such as the concept of RAOs, response spectra and downtime/workability analysis.
