This document describes how wind loads are implemented to AquaSim including spectral wind loading.

This document describes how hydrostatic- and hydrodynamic forces are calculated in AquaSim for the load formulation General impermeable nets, including Lice skirt, Closed compartment, and Surface tarpaulin.

This report is the summary of testing of internal sloshing wave in a closed tanks/ containments. The internal wave is generated according to theory explained in chapter 2.

With support from the Norwegian Research Council, the simulation and analysis software tool AquaSim has been developed over a 20-year period. The report outlines several benchmarking tests to verify the accuracy and capabilities of the software tool.

This report summarizes implementation and validation of the feature Wave amplitude reduction and Current reduction on beam elements with the load formulation Hydrodynamic. Numerical analysis has been compared to analytical calculations.

In this document, theoretical formulation of solidity, drag coefficient and drag force from current on hexagonal shaped masks is outlined.Further, cases for validation of these parameters are presented. The results show good correspondence between analytical formulation and AquaSim results.

This document presents how AquaEdit calculates cross sectional properties of beams generated from the Wizard. The properties are validated against analytical solution. Results show good correspondence.

The Surface tarpaulin load formulation has been implemented to AquaSim for analysis of hydrodynamic forces on horizontal textiles situated at the water surface. The approach combines linear wave theory with a finite-element presentation of the tarpaulin. Hydrodynamic forces due to current and waves are included.

This document follows Aerodynamics of Wind Turbines by Martin O.L. Hansen (Hansen, 2008). Lift elements have been used in AquaSim for a long time. Such elements are based on calculating drag and lift to beam elements by the cross-flow principle. That is consistent with (Hansen, 2008) ch. 2. Then, corrections according to Chapter 4 to obtain the BEM theory is presented.
