Comparison of experimental and numerical sloshing loads in partially filled tanks [PDF]
, 2009 Sloshing phenomenon consists in the movement of liquids inside partially filled tanks, whichgenerates dynamic loads on the tank structure. Resulting impact pressures are of great importance in assessingstructural strength, and their correct evaluation ...

Optimal Motion of an Articulated Body in a Perfect Fluid [PDF]
, 2005 An articulated body can propel and steer itself in a perfect fluid by changing its shape only. Our strategy for motion planning for the submerged body is based on finding the optimal shape changes that produce a desired net locomotion; that is ...

Optimal control of the heave motion of marine cable subsea-unit systems [PDF]
, 1995 One of the key problems associated with subsea operations involving tethered subsea units is the motions of support vessels on the ocean surface which can be transmitted to the subsea unit through the cable and increase the tension.

Forced quasi-periodic oscillations in strongly dissipative systems of any finite dimension
, 2018 We consider a class of singular ordinary differential equations describing analytic systems of arbitrary finite dimension, subject to a quasi-periodic forcing term and in the presence of dissipation.
