Abstract: A straight-beam approximation is applied to a long, stiff pipeline located at or near the ocean free surface. The analytical model determines vertical and horizontal transverse motions in a ...

Abstract: The interaction between a steady linear water-wave field and a two-dimensional current, selected to approximate the surface intake of a large floating ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) plant, ...

Abstract: A system to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from combustion power plants is described. Unlike earlier proposals based on flue gas treatment, the problem is addressed prior to combustion by ...
