By the end of this course, the students will be able to:
- Describe the flow features around the marine structures in case of steady currents and waves,
- Compute resulting hydrodynamic forces and design cylindrical marine structures against various combinations of the flow conditions of steady current and waves,
- Explain the underlying mechanisms of morphodynamic processes such as scour and backfilling around marines structures linking to the hydrodynamic flow features,
- Assess the engineering problems of scour around marine structures: floatation of buried pipelines, sinking of pipelines and marine objects,
- Function successfully as part of a 2-4 member team to study above given engineering design problems.
