RISOscillating Wave Surge Converter-Type Attachment for Extracting Wave Energy While Reducing Hydroelastic Responses of Very Large Floating Structures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents an oscillating wave surge converter (OWSC)-type attachment, comprising a submerged vertical flap connected to the fore edge of a very large floating structure (VLFS) with hinges and linear power take-off ...
The Hadley Circulation in Reanalyses: Climatology, Variability, and Change
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nalysis of the annual cycle of intensity, extent, and width of the Hadley circulation across a 31-yr period (1979?2009) from all existent reanalyses reveals a good agreement among the datasets. All datasets show that ...
Irregular Nonlinear Wave Simulation and Associated Loads on Offshore Wind Turbines
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The accuracy of predicted loads on offshore wind turbines depends on the mathematical models employed to describe the combined action of the wind and waves. Using a global simulation framework that employs a domaindecomposition ...
Characteristic Behavior of Drained and Undrained Triaxial Compression Tests: DEM Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Undrained and drained triaxial compression tests were simulated using the discrete element method (DEM). It was found that the transition states between contractive and dilative behavior of dense specimens, that is, the ...
Expansion of the Southern Hemisphere Hadley Cell in Response to Greenhouse Gas Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: hanges of the Southern Hemisphere Hadley cell over the twentieth century are investigated using the Twentieth Century Reanalysis (20CR) and coupled model simulations from phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project ...
