A smoothed particle hydrodynamics study of ship bow slamming in ocean waves

Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is a mesh-free Lagrangian computational method suited to modelling fluids with a freely deforming surface. This thesis describes the development, validation and application of a two-dimensional Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics algorithm to the problem of ship bow...
