3-D Wave-Structure Interaction with Coastal Sediments - A Multi- Physics/Multi-Solution-Techniques Approach

摘要

The long term goal of this research is twofold: (1) develop an advanced multi-physics, multi-scale model with a multi-numerical solution techniques approach to predict nonlinear dynamic behavior of surface and sea- bottom impact, and subsequent burial and flow-induced motion of flexible structures and surrounding sediments in the marine environment; and (2) calibrate resulting models with experimental and field measurements. The predictive capabilities developed in this research will be integrated into an overarching computational framework for the analysis and simulation of the dynamic behavior of naval systems in the marine environment of arbitrary water depth.
