> Geo-Wise Assisted Jan De Nul Group in developing a new jet sword concept for Moonfish Trencher
> In a productive collaboration, Geo-Wise assisted Jan De Nul Group in developing a new jet sword concept for Moonfish trencher for deep cable burials for an offshore wind project in the North Sea.
Geo-Wise carried out full-3D numerical analyses, design and build-up of a scaled model (incl. sensors and data loggers), laboratory testing planning, physical testing, as well as data logging and data interpretation.
A very good agreement was found among the results of numerical modelling, scaled testing, and the field trials.

> Geo-Wise presents at The Jack-Up Platform International Conference
> Are you interested in knowing more about the Jack-up touch-down loads in hard seabeds? Then be sure to attend our expert talk on International Conference: The Jack-Up Platform (Tuesday, 2nd November 2021).
Geo-Wise Managing Director Ehsan Izadi will present the dynamic aspects of WTIV touch-down loads in hard seabeds (e.g. rocky outcrops). More information: https://www.city.ac.uk/news-and-events/events/2021/11/international-conference-the-jack-up-platform

> NUMERICAL MODELING OF A UXO DETONATION NEAR SEABED
> In a very successful collaboration, Geo-Wise and the Sonic Drilling Institute had the privilege to assist EODEX with a complex situation where an SC-250 bomb (125kg TNT-based explosive) from WWII was found at seafloor nearby critical facilities in the UK waters. We were able to numerically model the impact of a fully-blown and partial detonation of the UXO and demonstrate that the integrity of the assets will be preserved subject to the detonation. The seabed shape and properties were also assessed as a by-product.
Curious? Watch an illustrative UXO detonation event here.

> Geo-Wise is Developing a Concept motion-compensated robot for blade installation
> One of the key factors in the installation of blades of wind turbine generators is the wind-induced motions of the blades with respect to the nacelle.
A concept robot model for compensating the wind-induced motions of the blade is being developed within Geo-Wise. The robot algorithm reads the real-time data of wind sensors and predicts the movements of the blade in a timeframe depending on the shape of the blade and the wind signal. The final goal is to increase the availability window for the installation of blades.

> Geo-Wise is developing MPM-based module
> Geo-Wise is developing an MPM-based module for the simulation of elastic and plastic materials. The visualisation (right) shows two simple slopes with identical geometries: one modelled as a sandy material with Drucker-Prager material; the other simulated to represent a clayey slope with elastic-perfectly plastic model.

> Geo-Wise is integrating Fluid module to Geo-bullet
> Geo-Wise is integrating an SPH-based fluid module into Geo-Bullet. It allows for the two-way interaction between the fluid and rigid bodies in an efficient way and adds many more possibilities to simulate a wide variety of simulation cases at which fluid/rigid body interaction is associated.
