Abstract: We present a numerical procedure to predict impact-related wave-induced (slamming) loads on ships. The procedure was applied to predict slamming loads on two ships that feature a flared bow ...

Abstract: We present a numerical study of Dean instability for non-Newtonian fluids in a laminar 180deg curved-channel flow of rectangular cross section. A methodology based on the Papanastasiou model (, ...

Abstract: Many microfluidic applications involve chemical reactions. Most often, the flow is predominantly laminar, and without active or passive mixing enhancement the reaction time can be extremely long compared to the residence ...

Abstract: This paper analyzed the effects of freak waves on a mobile jack-up drilling platform stationed in exposed waters of the North Sea. Under freak wave conditions, highly nonlinear effects, such ...

Abstract: This paper describes the prediction of environmental loads on a typical three-leg jack-up platform under freak wave conditions. Considered were cases where the air gap is small and the hull ...

Abstract: Rational assessment of stern slamming of a large twin screw liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier comprised prediction of hydrodynamic impact loads and their effects on the dynamic global structural ...

Abstract: The purpose of this paper was to demonstrate the application of a procedure to predict internal sloshing loads on partially filled tank walls of liquefied natural gas (LNG) tankers that are ...
