Guduk, Bulent (2022-07-27)In this study, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were performed using the Fluent and Mechanic module of ANSYS application to characterize the aerodynamic and static behavior of a horizontal axis wind turbine ...
-
Yu, Min (2018-06-14)Bulbous bows are widely used in the naval hydrodynamics. It can reduce the resistance of ships, thus it can reduce the costs and exhaust emission. The numerical calculation of wave resistance for ships with bulbous bows ...

Shi, Shengyi (2018-12-06)A sight-distance problem is associated with use of 32-inch tall concrete longitudinal barriers, specifically in certain work zone locations and at nighttime. These 32-inch tall barriers can obstruct drivers’ eyesight, ...
-
Liu, Yujie (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 ...
-
Kim, Se Won (2016-11-17)This research used the penalty method to develop a dynamic positioning control algorithm object for the purpose of minimizing the fuel consumption and CO2 gas emissions of an offshore platform. The performance of the penalty ...
-
Kim, Hyoungchul (2018-05-08)In the present study, the fully coupled wind-turbine/hull/mooring dynamics of the OC4 semi-submersible model and square-type semi-submersible multi-unit floating offshore wind turbine (MUFOWT) developed by Korea research ...
-
Xie, Zhitian (2021-04-12)The goal of this work is to develop an improved hydrodynamic analysis methodology with applications to the numerical evaluation of Green’s function in shallow water, maneuvering in waves and floating systems hull optimization, ...
-
Cui, Jilong (2021-12-07)Prevalence cracks on in-service inverted-T bent caps were reported over the past decades. These un-desirable cracks formed at the re-entrant corner of inverted-T bent caps are an indication of the local structural deficiencies. ...
-
Wang, Hao (2020-06-22)Nonlinear effects become more important in predicting the motions of a wave energy structure (WES), which is subject to large (relative to its dimensions) motion amplitudes. To model the WES more accurately, a time-domain ...
-
Tang, Shanran (2019-04-05)Floating offshore wind turbines may be the most practical offshore wind energy technology for deep waters. The dynamics of floating wind turbine systems is highly complicated as they are subject to irregular winds and ...
-
Wang, Lei (2012-10-19)Environmental, aesthetic and political pressures continue to push for siting off-shore wind turbines beyond sight of land, where waters tend to be deeper, and use of floating structures is likely to be considered. Savings ...
-
Elgohary, Tarek Adel Abdelsalam (2011-10-21)The nonlinear dynamic analysis of aeroelastic systems is a topic that has been covered extensively in the literature. The two main sources of nonlinearities in such systems, structural and aerodynamic nonlinearities, have ...
-
Tong, Xiaomeng (2018-03-12)The Morton effect (ME) is a thermally induced rotor instability problem that most commonly appears in rotating shafts with large overhung masses and supported by fluid film bearings. The time-varying thermal bow, due to ...
-
Jang, Hakun (2018-11-14)One of the greatest challenges of developing the arctic regions is the harsh environmental conditions caused by the presence of ice. When offshore structures interact with ice, significant structural motion is induced by ...
-
Mousavi, Mir Emad (2013-02-05)This study proposes new methods for the reliability-based design of structural systems, with emphasis on offshore mooring systems. After a brief introduction to the mooring systems, two main objectives are discussed in ...
-
Chauhan, Jayveersinh Dineshsinh (2020-06-09)Among all users of the road system, motorcyclists are the most vulnerable. Roadside safety systems and its design play an important role in the severity of motorcycle crashes. Data shows that from 2004, the number of ...
-
Bandas, John (2012-07-16)A system of ordinary differential equations (ODE) is constructed for an air cushion vehicle (ACV). The system is simplified to an equation for the balance of the vertical forces and the equation for the adiabatic compression ...
-
Jamnongpipatkul, Arada (2012-02-14)In this research the stochastic nonlinear dynamic behaviors and probability density function of ship rolling are studied by nonlinear dynamic method and probability theory. The probability density function of rolling ...
-
Xu, Ning (2010-07-14)The static stability of a Tension Leg Platform (TLP) with an intact tendon system is principally provided by its tendons and hence quite different from those of a conventional ship or even a floating structure positioned ...
