Takahito Iida: Some applications of Interaction among water waves and bodies

When a body (such as an offshore structure and ship) exists on the surface of the ocean, it is influenced by waves. At the same time, waves are deformed by the body. This interaction is essential for considering the problems of bodies in waves. Although these are complicated systems, the theory is well-established based on linear potential flow, and this explains these phenomena very well.
In the seminar, some applications of potential theory-based analysis are shown, including the seakeeping of a ship, multi-bodies interaction, and elastic plate in waves. In addition, the progress of the study of wave-ice interaction in a marginal ice zone is presented which is a current work in UiO.
