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.

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...
Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'
I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...
