چکیده مقاله:

This paper presents a three dimensional application of direct Boundary-Element Method (BEM) for computing interaction of sinusoidal waves with a large submerged open bottom structure near the floor with finite depth. The wave diffraction problem is formulated within the framework of linearized potential theory and solved numerically with direct BEM. A computer program based on BEM is developed to calculate the wave-exciting hydrodynamic forces. Comparisons of the results with those obtained by several previous investigators reveal a good agreement. In this study, we are primarily interested in the wave forces on a shell defined by an open-end surface. The formulation of this problem is similar to that for a solid, except that the solution is contained in a singular integral equation. This solution is extended to a cylindrical open bottom structure and the wave forces are compared to those for the corresponding seated structures. This method, however, can be applied for any 3-D geometrical objects with or without open ends.

Application of Decoupled Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method to Solve Eigenvalue Helmholtz Problems (Research Note)

A novel element with arbitrary domain shape by using decoupled scaled boundary finite element (DSBFEM) is proposed for eigenvalue analysis of 2D vibrating rods with different boundary conditions. Within the proposed element scheme, the mode shapes of vibrating rods with variable boundary conditions are modelled and results are plotted. All possible conditions for the rods ends are incorporated ...

Application of the Fuzzy Finite Element Method for dynamic analysis of structures with uncertain boundary conditions

The Finite Element (FE) Method is a very popular tool for both static and dynamic structural analysis. The ability to predict the behaviour of a structure under static or dynamic loads is not only of great scientific value, it is also very useful from an economical point of view. A reliable FE analysis could reduce the need for prototype production and therefore significantly reduce the associa...

Application of Multipole Expansions To Boundary Element Method

The Boundary Element Method (BEM) has long been considered to be a viable alternative to the Finite Element Method (FEM) for doing engineering analysis. The BEM reduces the dimensions of the problem by one and leads to smaller system of equations. One of the inherent limitations of the BEM has been the long time required for the solution of large problems. This makes the BEM prohibitively expen...

A boundary element method with surface conductive absorbers for 3-D analysis of nanophotonics

Fast surface integral equation (SIE) solvers seem to be ideal approaches for simulating 3-D nanophotonic devices, as these devices generate fields both in an interior channel and in the infinite exterior domain. However, many devices of interest, such as optical couplers, have channels that cannot be terminated without generating reflections. Generating absorbers for these channels is a new pro...
