STAGE PFE - Comportement hydrodynamique et efforts d’amarrage des objets flottants : application aux pontons
Core
Develop a validated hydrodynamic calculation method to predict floating pontoon movements and mooring loads for preliminary design.
Role type
Junior IC hydrodynamic engineer (stage)
Builds
Preliminary design charts (abaques) and a calculation methodology for floating structures
Domain
Marine engineering + hydrodynamics
Required skills
hydrodynamics, structural dynamics, numerical simulation, Python, data analysis
Preferred skills
ANSYS AQWA, WAMIT, fluid-structure interaction modeling
Technologies
