Heave motion suppression of a Spar with a heave plate [PDF]
Ocean Engineering, 2004 Abstract Vortex shedding flow of an oscillating vertical cylinder with a disk attached at its keel is considered. This configuration is of interest for the offshore oil and gas industry. A finite difference method is employed to solve the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in the primitive-variables formulation.

An impedance approach to reduce the contact-instability whilst drilling with active heave compensation [PDF]
, 2012 The bit-bounce, or contact-instability, phenomenon which occurs in the drill string suspended from a floating vessel with an active drill string compensator to maintain a steady weight on the drill bit is investigated.

Wave Energy Harnessing in Shallow Water through Oscillating Bodies
Energies, 2018 This paper deals with wave energy conversion in shallow water, analyzing the performance of two different oscillating-body systems. The first one is a heaving float, which is a system known in the literature.

Secondary frost heave in freezing soils [PDF]
, 1996 Frost heave describes the phenomenon whereby soil freezing causes upwards surface motion due to the action of capillary suction imbibing water from the unfrozen region below. The expansion of water on freezing is a small part of the overall surface heave

Numerical Modeling and Validation of Time-Dependent Heave of Swelling Soil [PDF]
JES: Journal of Engineering SciencesExpansive soils pose a significant geotechnical challenge because of their volume changes in response to variations in moisture content. Unlike many soil types, expansive soils lack a widely adopted theoretical constitutive model for accurate numerical ...

Experimental Study on Freezing Mode to Reduce Frost Heave
Buildings, 2022 Frost heave is an important factor affecting the safety and practicability of buildings in cold regions or artificial freezing engineering. In order to reduce frost heave, frost-susceptible silty clay was used in a one-dimensional frost heave testing ...
