1 DESIGN OF WAVE TANK AND HYDRO DYNAMIC EVALUATION OF FLOATING PLATFORMS FABRICATED WITH REPURPOSED HDPE WATER CANS This project focuses on exploring floating platforms constructed from repurposed HDPE water cans, emphasizing the design of a specialized wave tank, hydrodynamic analysis using ANSYS Fluent, and experimental validation. The wave tank’s design is crucial for replicating realistic wave conditions, optimizing dimensions, wave generation mechanisms, and structural considerations for accurate testing. ANSYS Fluent, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, will conduct hydrodynamic analysis to simulate the behavior of the HDPE water can-based floating platforms under various wave scenarios. This analysis will provide insights into fluid-structure interaction, wave-induced forces, and dynamic response, serving as a baseline for comparison with experimental data. The project will incorporate physical testing of sensor-equipped platforms within the wave tank to capture real-time data on stability, buoyancy, and other parameters. By comparing experimental results with computational simulations, the project aims to validate the accuracy and reliability of the numerical model developed in ANSYS Fluent, enhancing understanding and optimizing the construction of sustainable floating platforms.
