Modelling floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) is challenging due to the strong coupling
between the aerodynamics of the turbine and the hydrodynamics of the floating platform …

Calculations of the impact of friction and wear on energy consumption, economic
expenditure, and CO 2 emissions are presented on a global scale. This impact study covers …

Porous materials are found in nature as inanimate objects, such as soils and rocks, in living
bodies, such as plants, human flesh, and bones, and as manmade materials, such as …

This paper presents an overview of the singular boundary method (SBM) and its various
engineering applications. The basic concepts of the singular boundary method are first …

In this paper we give an overview of the Method of Fundamental Solutions (MFS) as a
heuristic numerical method. It is truly meshless. Its concept and numerical implementation …

This classic and authoritative student textbook contains information that is not over simplified
