Lecturer: Dr Narakorn Srinil, Professor Zhiqiang Hu

Owning School: Engineering
Teaching Location: Newcastle City Campus

Semesters

Semester 2 Credit Value:	10
ECTS Credits:	5.0

Aims

The aims of the module are:
A1 – Study strip theory and wave diffraction theory.
A2 – Understand the fundamental knowledge of Computational Fluid Dynamics.
A3 – Understand the general knowledge of vortex induced vibration.
A4 – 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. Strip theory and diffraction theory;
2. Computational fluid dynamics;
3. Vortex induced vibration;
4. Computing algorithm development for assessing structure loads and motions.

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

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).

Should the public health situation require it, the present-in-person teaching activities will be replaced by synchronous online sessions.

Students should consult their individual timetable for up-to-date delivery information

Assessment Methods

The format of resits will be determined by the Board of Examiners

Exams

Description	Length	Semester	When Set	Percentage	Comment
Written Examination	120	2	A	100	N/A

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).

Should the public health situation require it, the planned examination scheduled to be completed present-in-person will be replaced by an open book, online examination to be completed within a defined 24 hour period.
