Abstract

This Master thesis is focussed in the verification of the capabilities of SeaFEM - FAST tool to carry out the fully coupled analysis of offshore wind turbines. First, a state of art of fully coupled analysis is presented. Then, rules to clasify and to certificate offshore wind turbines is studied. Design load conditions for OC3- Hywind NREL 5 MW Baseline are computed.

Presentation made during the DIH2018 Annual Event that took place in Warsaw, from November 27 to 28, 2018. During the DIH2018 Annual Event, Compass IS has been honored the I4MS Disruptors Award 2018, by the European Commissioner Mariya Gabriel and Jadwiga Emilewicz, Minister of Entrepreneurship and Technology of Poland.

During the event, Compass had the opportunity to show a stand to present its technological capabilities and the solution of the experiment.

Abstract

Presentation of the "HPC-SHEAKS" experiment during the kick-off meeting which took place on July 2015, in the frame of the Fortissimo Forum in Amsterdam. The Forum was a platform for Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), Service Providers, Small & Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and technical experts around the theme of HPC applications in the cloud.

The HPC-Sheaks experiment aimed to increase the efficiency of the design, engineering and building processes of a marine structure, by offering to the market added-value tools that, thanks to high performance computing, can be used further down from the final design phase, and allowing its integration in the design cycle to develop more competitive designs.

Abstract

The ultimate goal of the "HPC-enabled system for enhanced seakeeping and station-keeping design" (HPC-SHEAKS) experiment was the efficient and easy-to-use integration of available HPC infrastructures with the most advanced seakeeping software. As a result of the experiment, an effective interface between the end-user and the HPC resources was implemented. The relevant seakeeping software packages were ported to the HPC infrastructure and integrated into an overall simulation package. This solution enables the simulations to be run from a familiar desktop system whilst using the full capabilities of the HPC system.

Abstract

Seakeeping is the study of a ship or marine structure that is subject to the action of waves. WAVEC is a private non-profit association active in applied research and consulting. VICUSDT operates in the shipbuilding and shipping industries, providing hydrodynamic engineering services. It also provides hydrodynamic analysis capabilities to the offshore and marine energy sector, carrying out advanced simulations of structures for the oil and gas industry. COMPASSIS is an SME ISV which provides simulation software for a variety of different engineering fields including multiphysics simulations and structural and seakeeping analysis. In this experiment COMPASSIS will enable and evaluate simulations that require intense computational and data storage resources.
