Abstract: Taconis oscillations represent excitation of acoustic modes due to large thermal gradients inside narrow tubes penetrating cryogenic vessels from a warm ambient environment. These oscillations are usually harmful, as they ...

Abstract: Semi-submersible vehicles keep most of their hulls underwater while maintaining a small platform above the water surface. These craft can find use for both naval operations and civil transportation due to special properties, ...

Abstract: Substantial reduction of ship drag is achievable with air cavities arranged on the hull bottom. However, the air cavities can become unstable, particularly in unsteady environments such as sea waves. Oscillations of cavities ...
