- This EPSRC-funded work provides insight and improved understanding of wave impacts on large vessels and demonstrates how these processes may be modelled in CFD using a novel second order inlet boundary condition. Experiments designed to investigate wave impact on the hull of a large vessel using a flexible truncated wall show, for the first time, that four distinct wave impact types may be generated, similar to those well-known for a full depth wall. The research findings have informed the work of others in offshore engineering and investigating wave interaction with structures in the marine environment (e.g. doi:10.1016/j.marstruc.2020.102821, doi:10.1016/j.oceaneng.2020.107671, doi:10.1016/j.oceaneng.2020.108055, doi:10.1098/rsta.2019.0011).
