Abstract: In general, submarines are designed to optimize operation below the water surface because they spend most of their time underwater. On the other hand, the performance in the free surface condition is also important because ...

Abstract: Quasi-two-dimensional (2D) modeling of unsteady flow is important for the accurate prediction of flow and pressure in pipeline systems. In this study, a generalized method is developed to consider various inline components ...

Abstract: An air vessel is a simple and effective device for protecting a pipeline system from abnormal pressure events. In order to design and select a suitable air vessel, analysis of the pipeline system is necessary. A quasi-2D ...

Abstract: A direct spring loaded pressure relief valve (DSLPRV) is an efficient hydraulic structure used to control a potential water hammer in pipeline systems. The optimization of a DSLPRV was explored to consider the instability ...

Abstract: This study focused on the development of an effective methodology for instrumentation and data analysis to more accurately measure and to assess strain profiles from full-scale test slabs in consideration of the effects ...
