Conference Topics

The scope of the workshop topics will be theoretical, experimental, and numerical research, as well as a combination of those. Specific themes include but are not limited to:

• Linear and nonlinear waves and currents
• Ship dynamics and hydrodynamics for design (resistance, propulsion, seakeeping, maneuvering, hull form and propulsion optimization)
• Sea loads and responses such as slamming, sloshing, green water, run-up, ice, and impact on ships and floating offshore installations (e.g., breakwaters, FLNG, FSRU, semi-submersibles, etc.)
• Propeller cavitation, erosion, and cavitating flows
• Computational Fluid Dynamics, digital twins, numerical wave tank, and virtual displaying systems
• Coupled problems including fluid-structure interactions, ship hydroelasticity and hydro-elasto- plasticity, underwater noise, ice-wave-structure interactions, aerohydrodynamic loading of floating wind turbines
• Emerging numerical methods and bioinspired hydrodynamics
• The hydrodynamic performance of high-speed vessels and floating offshore installations
• Hydrodynamics of renewable marine energy and ocean resources
• Experimental methods for towing and ice tanks, wave flumes, and water basins
• Uncertainties and uncertainty modeling
• Any other aspects of hydrodynamics of relevance to ship science and ocean engineering.
