abstract

  • This paper aims to provide a better understanding of the interaction between focused waves and FPSO-shaped structures. This is achieved via numerical modelling using the parallel Particle-In-Cell method based model, which solves the Navier-Stokes equations for free-surface flows and incorporates a Cartesian cut cell method for fluid-structure interaction. Focused waves are generated using a piston-type wave paddle. The generated focused waves are first validated against experimental measurements and then used for fluid-structure interaction. The wave run-up and hydrodynamic pressure at various locations on the FPSO model are discussed.
