Abstract: Wave tank tests have been performed on an articulated tower in order to determine the hydrodynamic coefficients associated with the tower. The tower was a uniform diameter rigid cylinder and ...

Abstract: Multibeam sonars are widely used for environmental monitoring of fauna at marine renewable energy sites. However, they can rapidly accrue vast volumes of data, which poses a challenge for data processing. Here, using data ...

Abstract: The hydrodynamic coefficients of a semisubmersible undergoing slow-drift oscillation were determined through a model test. The semisubmersible model was moored in head seas, fore and aft, with ...

Abstract: A semisubmersible moored in waves experiences a steady offset and two types of motion—a first-order motion at frequencies corresponding to the incident wave frequencies and a slowly oscillating ...

Abstract: urrently, most operational forecasting models use latitude?longitude grids, whose convergence of meridians toward the poles limits parallel scaling. Quasi-uniform grids might avoid this limitation. Thuburn et al. and Ringler ...

Abstract: A versatile and efficient method of analysis has been developed to analyze a mooring system composed of a floating structure, e.g., a ship, mooring lines, fenders, and an articulated tower. ...

Abstract: A wave tank test was performed on fixed vertical and inclined cylinders in which forces on the cylinder in regular waves were measured. The hydrodynamic coefficients are computed based on the measured local forces on the ...

Abstract: Three analytical procedures for the calculation of wave reflection from beaches are presented. The accuracy and stability of each procedure is determined with respect to tests results obtained in a laboratory environment. ...

Abstract: Robotic devices are commonly used in surgical simulators to provide tactile, or haptic, feedback. They can provide customized feedback that can be rapidly modified with minimal hardware changes in comparison to nonrobotic ...

Abstract: A point-of-use (POU) system was designed and constructed using commercially available activated alumina to remove arsenic from drinking water. Testing with City of Albuquerque chlorinated tap water containing an average ...
