Numerical Simulation on Hydroelastic Response of Structure under Impact Load from Water Using Eulerian Scheme with Lagrangian Particles

Hydroelasticity caused by water impact is of concern in many applications of ocean engineering/naval architect and is a complicated physical phenomenon. The authors have developed a coupled Eulerian scheme with Lagrangian particles to combine advantages and to compensate disadvantages in both grid based method and particle based method. In this study, the developed numerical model was applied to hydroelastic problems due to impact pressure such as water entry of an elastic cylinder and elastic tanker motion in wave. The authors showed the numerical results which is overall agreement with experimental results. The proposed numerical scheme can be useful and effectiveness to evaluate hydroelasticity and ship-wave interaction in nonlinear wave motion with breaking.
