Numerical Methods for Offshore and Dredging Engineering

This course concerns the numerical methods that can be used to analyse offshore en dredging engineering systems (structures and operations). During this course, you are trained to perform a numerical experiment, including the design of algorithms. Following through the different steps of study design, pre-analysis, data collection, post-analysis, validation and interpretation, you gain experience in drawing relevant conclusions and reflecting critically on the research activities performed.

After a training on relevant numerical methods, covering both computational fluid and structural dynamics, you will conduct a numerical experiment using your self-developed algorithm in Python or Matlab. Following the FAIR principles, you will learn how to analyse and visualize your obtained data to draw scientifically relevant conclusions.

The course offers multiple numerical assignments to conduct in small groups. You can express your motivated preference for a specific assignment through the individual reflection portfolio of the course OE44195. Your allocation to a specific assignment will be based on both your motivation and practical considerations.
