A Few Frontier Issues in Ocean Engineering Mechanics

摘要

In this review,we primarily address the present state of the arts and latest progresses in a few frontier issues mostly relevant to free surface/interface in ocean engineering.They include TC(tropical cyclone)induced extreme surface wave,sloshing of LNG(liquefied natural gas),cavitation/bubble dynamics and VIM(vortex-induced motion)and VIV(vortex-induced vibration).In addition to general description,we mainly focus on the recent advances and challenging aspects of above-mentioned topics.Inspired by the achievements in the previous 70 years,mankind starts a new round of ocean exploration activities.Then,we can find obvious trends:the realm of ocean engineering is expanding from sea surface to deep sea,from low and middle latitude to polar region and from fossil to renewable energy in near future.
