The simulation of free-surface flow around moored or floating objects faces a series of challenges, concerning the flow modelling and the numerical solution method. One of the challenges is the simulation of objects whose dynamics is determined by a two-way interaction with the incoming waves. The ‘traditional’ way of numerically coupling the flow dynamics with the dynamics of a floating object becomes unstable (or requires severe underrelaxation) when the added mass is larger than the mass of the object. To deal with this two-way interaction, a more simultaneous type of numerical coupling is being developed. The paper will focus on this issue. To demonstrate the quasi-simultaneous method, a number of simulation results for engineering applications from the offshore industry will be presented, such as the motion of a moored TLP platform in extreme waves, and a free-fall life boat dropping into wavy water.

The purpose of the laboratory investigation reported here has been to study the conditions under which vortices appear in the free surface flow upstream of a vertically inverted intake in a circular sump. The influence of geometry, approach conditions, size, and relative position of the intake in the sump has been studied. The effect of viscosity, surface tension, and inertia forces on the formation of vortices has been examined. A discussion of the results and the principal conclusions drawn permit certain recommendations to be made at the conceptual stage of pumping pits.
