Executive Summary : | The research project aims to explore wave-structure interaction in India's densely stratified waters for renewable energy generation and aquaculture. The project uses multi-layer fluid models to understand density gradient changes and the effects of waves on structures like submerged floating tunnels and fish net cages. The study aims to optimize design and stability of these structures, contributing to sustainable energy solutions and promoting aquaculture growth. The project's focus on density stratification and porous fish cages will contribute to India's journey towards a more sustainable future. The research focuses on the complex interactions between waves and offshore platforms in Indian waters, specifically along the eastern coast. It uses water wave linearization theory and advanced software tools like MATLAB and Mathematica to analyze wave-structure interactions and hydrodynamic responses. The study explores various offshore structures, including submerged floating tunnels, marine energy storage systems, wave energy converters, and aquaculture platforms. The research aims to enhance structural integrity and efficiency of these platforms for sustainable energy generation and responsible aquaculture practices. The study also examines the effectiveness of multi-layer fluid models in capturing wave behaviours in density-stratified regions. |
