Abstract: Self-organized feature map algorithm and the classical particle tracking technique have been adopted together to analyze the single-exposure double-frame particle images for flow measurement. Similar to the normal correlation ...

Abstract: The general planar motion of an elliptic cylinder through an inviscid and incompressible fluid in the vicinity of a fixed circular cylinder is investigated analytically. The velocity potential is derived by using the ...

Abstract: Linear potential theory is applied to the analysis of wave reflection from a composite porous wave absorber that lies on a solid foundation with a seaward slope. By adopting the mathematical model of wave-induced flow in ...

Abstract: Field measurement of ship waves has been carried out in Victoria Harbor of Hong Kong. The wave data were collected at 18 monitoring stations by the underwater pressure/current instrument S4ADW and a floating wave rider ...
