A classic #OceanEngineering application of #CFD is the simulation of “green water overtopping” on platform decks. In our recent publication on the topic, we study the case of a sea-level deck, comparing the laboratory experiments with analytical and numerical models developed ad hoc for this geometric case:
#SmoothedParticleHydrodynamics was originally developed for #astrophysics (modelling star formation), but has expanded to #NavalArchitecture, #OceanEngineering, #waterworks, #aeronautics, #geology, #medicine, just to name a few.
It has caught the attention of several industries, with applications ranging from the design of engines, tires and windshield wipers to the development of wave energy converters, ship-locks, fish-passes and dam spillways.
