Comflow 2

Closed

The objective of this JIP is to study complex free-surface flows around offshore structures.

Background

The offshore industry, MARIN and the Universities of Groningen and Delft have worked together successfully in the development of the Volume of Fluid method ComFLOW to study complex free-surface flows around offshore structures.

Important aspects have been studied, implemented and validated like:
  • Sloshing in LNG containment systems
  • Air entrapment during wave impacts (“cushioning”)
  • Wave run-up and deck impacts on semi-submersibles and TLPs
