Abstract

Offshore floating structures face intricate multiscale flows, making their design a significant engineering challenge. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has become indispensable in designing these structures and their components. Beyond design purposes, CFD deepens fundamental understanding by revealing fluid dynamics in previously poorly characterized flows. This paper reviews current CFD technologies and their applications in offshore floating structures while exploring future prospects. The key challenges are identified to guide professionals in extending technology lifecycles and enhancing capabilities. These insights underscore a crucial research direction for developing the next generation of offshore floating structures.
