Inherent work suit buoyancy distribution:effects on lifejacket self-righting performance [PDF]
, 2014 Introduction: Accidental immersion in cold water is an occupational risk. Work suits and life jackets (LJ) should work effectively in combination to keep the airway clear of the water (freeboard) and enable self-righting.

Field Test on Buoyancy Variation of a Subsea Bottom-Supported Foundation Model
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019 The bottom-supported foundation is the most important component of offshore platforms, as it provides the major support to the upper structure. The buoyancy of the bottom-supported foundation is a critical issue in platform design because it counteracts ...

Turbulent mixing at a stable density interface : the variation of the buoyancy flux–gradient relation [PDF]
, 2007 Experiments conducted on mixing across a stable density interface in a turbulent Taylor–Couette flow show, for the first time, experimental evidence of an increase in mixing efficiency at large Richardson numbers.

Double-diffusive convection in a rotating cylindrical annulus with conical caps [PDF]
, 2011 Double-diffusive convection driven by both thermal and compositional buoyancy in a rotating cylindrical annulus with conical caps is considered with the aim to establish whether a small fraction of compositional buoyancy added to the thermal buoyancy (or

Buoyancy-driven crack propagation from an over-pressured source [PDF]
, 2005 The propagation of a liquid-filled crack from an over-pressured source into a semi-infinite uniform elastic solid is studied. The fluid is lighter than the solid and propagates due to its buoyancy and to the source over-pressure.
