MARIN researchers contributed to the 45th International Conference on Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering (OMAE 2026), held in Tokyo, Japan, by presenting several papers covering offshore renewable energy, floating wind and advanced CFD applications. OMAE is one of the leading international conferences for offshore, ocean and arctic engineering, bringing together experts from industry, academia and research institutes worldwide.
Conceptual-design-of-an-offshore-photovoltaic-system-in-low-carbon-ultra-high-performance-concrete | Naman Baderiya
Exploring the development of an offshore floating solar concept within the Horizon Europe NaturSea-PV project. The research focuses on hydrodynamic behaviour, mooring design and structural optimisation to support sustainable offshore energy generation.
CFD Simulations for Hydrodynamics of Floating Offshore Wind Turbine | Arjen Koop, Tim Bunnik
Demonstrating how advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques can accurately predict the hydrodynamic response of floating offshore wind turbine platforms. The work highlights the growing role of CFD in supporting the design and commercialisation of floating offshore wind systems.
CFD Investigation for Vortex-Induced Vibration of Flexible Risers | Arjen Koop, Guido Oud, Eelco Frickel, Jaap de Wilde
Examining the application of CFD to assess vortex-induced vibrations in flexible offshore risers and cables. Understanding these complex fluid-structure interactions is essential for the safe and reliable design of offshore energy infrastructure.
By sharing these results at OMAE 2026, MARIN continues to contribute to the advancement of offshore engineering, renewable energy technologies and simulation methods that support the energy transition.
