Abstract:
The ability to predict the wave climate has a great impact on a wide range of sectors, including coastal and offshore engineering, marine renewable energy and shipping. The state of the art in wave prediction is called spectral wave modelling and is based on a phase-averaged, spectral description of the sea-surface elevation. The governing equation, called the action balance equation, is five-dimensional and describes the generation, propagation and evolution of action density in geographic space, spectral space and time. Due to the multidimensional nature of the equation the feasible resoluti

Abstract:
The discretization of the stationary diffusion equation with random parameters by the Stochastic Finite Element Method requires the solution of a highly structured but very large linear system of equations. Depending on the stochastic properties of the diffusion coefficient together with the stochastic discretization we consider three solver cases. If the diffusion coefficient is given by a stochastically linear expansion, e.g. a truncated Karhunen-Loeve expansion, and tensor product polynomial stochastic shape functions are employed, the Galerkin matrix can be transformed to a block-diagonal

Based on the recognition of the probabilistic essence of practical random media and driven by engineering simulation requirements, a comprehensive random medium model, namely elementary random media (ERM), is consequently defined and its m

The far-field underwater explosion (UNDEX) problem is a complicated problem dominated by two phenomena: the shock wave traveling through the fluid and the cavitation in the fluid. Both of these phenomena have a significant effect on the loading of ship structures subjected to UNDEX.

Efficient uncertainty propagation schemes for dynamical systems are investigated here within the framework of stochastic finite element analysis. Uncertainty in the mathematical models arises from the incomplete knowledge or inherent variability of the various parametric and geometric properties of the physical system. These input uncertainties necessitate the use of stochastic mathematical models to accurately capture their behavior. The resolution of such stochastic models is computationally quite expensive.
