International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 125, Issue 15, 15 August 2024.Summary The paper introduces a computational framework using a novel Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) formalism in the form of a system of first‐order conservation laws. In addition to the usual material and spatial configurations, an additional referential (intrinsic) configuration is introduced in order to disassociate material particles from mesh

Structural integrity of a submersible sea cage exposed to extreme oceanographic conditions
Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 55, Issue 3, June 2024.Abstract This study focuses on the structural integrity analyses of a submersible cage with dimensions of 20 m in diameter and 10 m depth under extreme oceanographic conditions, including current speed of 0.5 and 1 m/s, combined with waves ranging from 2 to 5 m in height and a period of 7 s. Employing a dynamic simulation model based on finite elements,
