Research plan

The research plan for CeSOS is formulated on two levels:

in terms of overall aim, subjects, disciplines and their integration, and the combined use of
analytical, numerical and experimental approaches.
15 project themes through which this overall aim can be realised.

Intention of the initial plan was to be flexible: in addition to these themes, therefore, we have identified further research areas as need has arisen.

The initial 15 project themes can be classified as follows:

Loads – for structural response
1.	Strongly nonlinear wave-induced motions and loads on floating structures
2.	Green water loading
3.	Sloshing in tanks
Response – due to wave-induced, stochastic loads
4.	Stochastic dynamic analysis of extreme load effects
5.	Extremes for multiple stochastic load effects
6.	Fatigue due to nonlinear effects
7.	Wave load effects in damaged floating structures
Response – including the effect of automatic control
8.	Control of wave-induced motion, loads and structural load effects of high-speed catamarans
Marine operations
Station-keeping and manoeuvring
9.	Station-keeping and manoeuvring of ships in waves
10.	Risk analysis of positioning systems for deep-water FPS
Crane operations
11.	Control of loads through the wave zone in marine operations
12.	Control of extreme response of marine risers
Slender structures – risers and pipelines
13.	Analysis and control of continuously changing systems
14.	Vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) of free-span pipelines
Hydrodynamic and structural modelling and automatic control
15.	Control of large mobile interconnected aquaculture structures for harsh conditions
