Abstract: The central question discussed here is how the rate at which drifter positions are determined and the position errors affect the calculation of velocity, acceleration and velocity gradients such as divergence and vorticity. ...

Abstract: Diving upon pullout of an installed anchor leads to an increase in embedment depth and, hence, capacity under operational loadings. It is particularly critical for dynamically installed anchors (DIAs) in calcareous sediments ...

Abstract: The problem analysed here is the motion of a drifter acted on by wind, surface and subsurface currents. From the condition of static equilibrium of all drag forces acting on the drifter, the effects of wind and surface ...
