Investigations include the installation process of a gravity foundation for wind turbines, jacket launching from a barge and propeller induced scouring of the waterway bottom. Supplementary validations for a sequence of fundamental cases indicate an encouraging predictive accuracy for the considered physical phenomena. Results demonstrate that SPH is able to address the problems featuring fluid/structure/soil-interaction and the hydrodynamic interplay between several floating bodies which pose challenges to traditional mesh-based solvers.en0029-80182013109121Elsevier ScienceGravity foundation installationJacket launchingPropeller induced scouringSmoothed-Particle-HydrodynamicsIngenieurwissenschaftenJournal Article10.1016/j.oceaneng.2013.02.007Journal Article
