A5 – Develop computing algorithms to calculate linear and nonlinear motions of floating structures.
Outline Of Syllabus
The module increases the awareness of some advanced knowledge for dealing with complex hydrodynamic issues encountered in the marine and offshore industries.
1. Navier Stokes equation;
2. Strip theory and diffraction theory;
3. Computational fluid dynamics;
4. Vortex induced vibration;
5. Computing algorithm development for assessing structure loads and motions.

Teaching Rationale And Relationship
Formal lectures are designed to deliver the theories and their relation to the current practice in the marine and offshore industries and to explain the use of major techniques. (IKO1-IKO4).
In the revision and tutorial sessions the students are provided with the opportunity to gain oral feedback from the lecturing staff.
The independent study gives time for the students to read the classic and leading edge papers on those topics in their own time and at their own space (ISO1-ISO4).

Formative Assessments
Formative Assessment is an assessment which develops your skills in being assessed, allows for you to receive feedback, and prepares you for being assessed. However, it does not count to your final mark.
| Description | Semester | When Set | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Computer assessment | 2 | M | Online test (Formative assessment held in mid-Semester 2 |
Assessment Rationale And Relationship
The exam allows students to demonstrate knowledge, understanding and the possession of subject-specific, cognitive skills. This also allows students to demonstrate intended learning outcomes across a wide range of topics described in the syllabus (IKO1-IKO4).
