#ModConFlex researcher Vicente Ocqueteau co-authored a study of small oscillations of a floating cylinder:
"On an Initial Value Problem Describing the Small Oscillations of a Floating Cylinder" (V.Ocqueteau and M.Tucsnak) establishes #existence, #uniqueness and #regularity results for the #solutions of the governing #equations.

We study a coupled PDE-ODE system modeling the small oscillations of a floating cylinder interacting with small water waves. We consider the case when the floating is supposed to be an infinite circular cylinder, so that the equations of the free surface of the fluid can be written in one space dimension. The governing equations are formulated as an abstract evolution equation in a suitable Hilbert space, and we establish the well-posedness of the associated initial value problem. A key element of the proof is the analysis of a partial Dirichlet-to-Neumann map on an unbounded domain with a non-smooth boundary.
US taxpayers launched the global floating wind industry abroad, but not at home (yet)
