Aims
To develop the knowledge and understanding of:
A1. To build on the knowledge and skills in the field of Offshore Engineering.
A2. To develop skills required to predict the functional performance and downtime for offshore vessels and installations.
A3. To provide knowledge of experimental methods and techniques adopted by offshore engineers and naval architects in the area of fluid loading and response.
Outline Of Syllabus
The module applies the fundamental marine and offshore dynamics principles to various issues experienced in offshore engineering. The teaching topics include: fundamentals of fluid mechanics, potential flow, regular waves, random waves, wave spectrum, added mass and Froude Krylov Forces, fluid loading on slender offshore structures, hydrodynamic testing facilities (including towing tank, U-tube, wind-wave-current tank, etc.), dynamics of floating bodies, design of offshore foundations, offshore mooring system calculations, and the knowledge of drilling engineering.
Teaching Methods
Please note that module leaders are reviewing the module teaching and assessment methods for Semester 2 modules, in light of the Covid-19 restrictions. There may also be a few further changes to Semester 1 modules. Final information will be available by the end of August 2020 in for Semester 1 modules and the end of October 2020 for Semester 2 modules.

Teaching Rationale And Relationship
The lectures and tutorials are designed to assist students in the acquisition of a knowledge base that will facilitate understanding of concepts and detailed analysis methods (IKO1-IKO4 and ISO1-ISO5).
The tutorials provides students with an opportunity to demonstrate written communication skills, research related skills, IT skills and depth of understanding (and associated cognitive skills).
Alternatives will be offered to students unable to be present-in-person due to the prevailing C-19 circumstances.
Students should consult their timetable for up-to-date delivery information.
Assessment Methods
