(2011-10-21)Predators can have large effects on prey populations and on the structure and function of communities. In addition to direct consumption of prey, predators often cause prey to alter their foraging behavior, habitat selection, ...
-
(PLOS, 2015-07-01)Vibrissae are important components of the mammalian tactile sensory system and are used to detect vibrotactile stimuli in the environment. Pinnipeds have the largest and most highly innervated vibrissae among mammals, and ...
-
(2016-12-08)The catenary anchor leg mooring (CALM) system is widely used as an efficient and economic single point mooring system in offshore engineering applications. CALM buoys are often connected to FPSOs with large flowlines for ...
-
(2012-11-29)Evaluation of motion characteristics of ships and offshore structures at the early stage of design as well as during operation at the site is very important. Strip theory based programs and 3D panel method based programs ...
-
(2018-06-13)The configuration of multiple floaters is of growing interest in offshore operations. An in-house program, MDLMultiDYN, is developed to evaluate the hydrodynamics of the multiple bodies. The fully nonlinear problem in ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)The influence of wave-current interactions on the fluid loading of large offshore structures has been investigated by extending the conventional diffraction theory approach to include the changes in the incident and scattered ...
-
Effects of variable force coefficients Cd and Cm on the dynamic response of a Tension-Leg Platform (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)The Morison hydrodynamic force prediction equation is commonly used to compute the wave forces on offshore structures composed of "small members". The computations are carried out assuming that the force coefficients, C[d] ...
-
(2012-10-19)Hurricanes are one of the primary threats to the Texas coastal environment and economy. They generate large wave and storm surges that have caused much damage on the Texas coast in the past. Understanding both the hydrodynamic ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)Frequency-wavenumber spectra of sea surface temperature, wind stress components, and wind stress curl data from ship observations taken in the eastern North Pacific are presented. The reliability of the method of analysis ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)This study considers a submerged body moving from rest to a constant speed in the nonlinear free surface for a truncated water region. A higher order boundary element method (HOBEM) with a fourth order Runge-Kutta time ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)Two and three-phase bubble columns have been used in various industrial processes. Bubble columns were initially used in the fermentation industry but more recently have been used as bioreactors and chemical reactors. One ...
-
(2018-08-02)A three-dimensional hydrodynamic model has been developed to investigate thermohaline processes, ocean circulation driven by winds, and other hydrodynamic features in the Arabian/Persian Gulf area. The validated model can ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)A three-dimensional time-dependent primitive equation model has been constructed to investigate the processes that control the circulation in East Lagoon, a narrow, shallow lagoon on Galveston Island, Texas. The primarily ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)Analytical models were developed for the dynamic analysis of an articulated loading platform (ALP) and a moored tanker system under regular wave excitations. Three different mathematical models were developed: two ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)The procedure for predicting pressure drops in vertical pipes for oil/gas field work has been handled to date by empirical and experimental correlations applied to a steady-state energy equation often called the Pressure ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)The motion and spindown characteristics of oceanic mesoscale vortices have been examined through the use of a finite difference equivalent barotropic numerical model. Variable parameters in the study include vortex size, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)Feasibility of a three dimensional, incompressible flow velocity potential formulation to predict steady and unsteady loads and moments on typical marine propellers is demonstrated. Such formulation is developed with ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)Understanding dynamics of colloidal dispersions is important for several applications ranging from coatings such as paints to growing colloidal crystals for photonic bandgap materials. The research outlined in this ...
-
(2019-06-12)In this study, we characterize hydrodynamics induced by winds (winter Shamals), tides and baroclinic tides in the Northern Arabian Gulf (NAG) based on observational data. Winter Shamals (strong, dry, northwesterly winds) ...
-
(2011-08-08)The offshore oilfield industry is continuously developing unique and break-through technologies and systems to extract hydrocarbons from ever increasing ocean depths. Due to the extreme depths being explored presently, ...
