RISMarine Climate Projections Toward the End of the Twenty-First Century in the North Atlantic
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An improved understanding of the present and future marine climatology is necessary for numerous activities, such as the operation of offshore structures, optimization of ship routes, and evaluation of wave energy resources. ...
Numerical Simulation of Wave Interaction With a Pair of Fixed Large Tandem Cylinders Subjected to Regular, Non-Breaking Waves
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the application of a two-phase computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model to carry out a detailed investigation of the nonlinear wave field surrounding a pair of columns placed in the tandem arrangement ...
Analysis of the Experimental Data of Slamming Loads on a Liquefied Natural Gas Carrier in Abnormal Waves
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The objective of the paper is to identify slamming characteristics of ships in abnormal waves by analyzing the experimental slamming loads for a liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier from the model tests of the ship, which ...
On the Accuracy of Voluntary Observing Ship’s Records
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A one-to-one comparison of the significant wave height reported by Voluntary Observing Ships (VOS) with the ERA-interim database is performed. A preliminary filtering procedure allows excluding reports affected by the most ...
Relation Between Atmospheric Circulation Patterns in the North Atlantic and the Sea States in the Iberian Peninsula
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A statistical analysis of significant wave height (Hs) in a location offshore Portugal continental coast, Leixões, is performed. The spectral and parametric information of sea states at this point used in this analysis was ...
Propagation of Gravity Waves Past Multiple Bottom Standing Barriers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The interaction of oblique surface gravity waves with multiple bottomstanding flexible porous breakwaters is analyzed based on the linearized theory of water waves. Using the method of eigenfunction expansion and the least ...
Ultimate Compressive Capacity of Rectangular Plates With Partial Depth Pits
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Pitting corrosion has been one of the main corrosion types of immersed ship hulls, which can bring heavy damage and even accidents to inservice ships, particularly to aged ships. The aim of the present paper was to investigate ...
Influence of Impact Location on the Plastic Response and Failure of Rectangular Cross Section Tubes Struck Transversely by a Hemispherical Indenter1
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Drop weight impact tests and numerical simulations have been performed to examine the plastic behavior and failure of clamped rectangular cross section tubes subjected to transverse loads. The selected indenter is a ...
Wave Motion Control Over Submerged Horizontal Plates
