Webinar – Closed Flexible Structures

We invite you to attend our webinar on closed flexible structures online at

AquaSim is best in class when it comes to combining flexible volumes in a larger, mixed system. Allowing for compled

The seminar will cover the following tutorials, which will be made available after the event:

Tarpaulin Closed Compartment

Introduction to the static equilibrium of closed systems, including internal water height, tarpaulin elasticity, and floater buoyancy. The tutorial also considers fresh water inside and brackish water outside.

Tarpaulin Closed Compartment – Internal Water Mass

Introduction to added mass effects from internal water for dynamic analysis.

Lice Skirt with Current

Introduction to drag parameters and current loads on lice skirts.

Lice Skirt with Waves

Introduction to wave loads and flexible tarpaulin parameters for lice skirts.

Added Mass and Damping in Closed Compartments

Introduction to hydrodynamic panel method analysis, added mass, and hydrodynamic damping.

Wave Diffraction on Closed Compartments

Numerical calculation of diffraction loads and the MacCamy–Fuchs formulation.
