Viscous Hydrodynamic Forces on Fixed Offshore Platforms

AI Thread Summary
Viscous hydrodynamic forces, including nonlinear components, are indeed influenced by wave action and ocean currents acting on fixed offshore platforms. These forces arise primarily from environmental interactions, particularly water and wind action. The complexity of these forces necessitates thorough research to understand their implications fully. The discussion hints at applications in marine platform or wind turbine construction. Understanding these hydrodynamic forces is crucial for the design and stability of offshore structures.

Are the viscous hydrodynamic forces and the nonlinear viscous hydrodynamic forces applied on offshore platform in the ocean? The platform is fixed.
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Just to expand on your question, there would be wave action and ocean currents acting upon the platform.

Thank you! So,wave action and ocean currents acting upon the platform produce the viscous hydrodynamic forces and the nonlinear viscous hydrodynamic forces?
 
Are you building a marine platform? Or a wind turbine out in the ocean?
Environmental forces on a platform would be that resulting from mainly water and wind action.
I am not sure how far of an answer you want with this, as it is a very complicated subject, as you would likely find out by searching on the web for viscous hydrodynamic forces on offshore platforms, or something similar.

Thread 'Where is my curb stop?'
My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...
Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
