Thrust generation and wake structure of wiggling hydrofoil
Marine animals and micro-machines often use wiggling motion to generate thrust. The wiggling motion can be modeled by a progressive wave where its wavelength describes the flexibility of wiggling animals. In the present study, an immersed boundary method

Repellence Effect of the New Sound for Underwater Speaker of Hydrofoil [PDF]
In order to prevent hydrofoil colliding with cetaceans, the underwater speaker (UWS) has been installed to repel cetaceans. Yamada et al. (2012) analyzed and devised the UWS sound as it fits the cetaceans' acoustic properties to prevent the collision ...

Sedimentological and geochemical characteristics are used to reconstruct sedimentation dynamics and erosional processes. Several rapidly deposited layers are characterised over changing depositional environments during the Late Holocene, from a phase when the lake was connected to the sea to a more stable state conducive to varve formation.

This review addresses the nucleation mechanism and the thermodynamic and kinetic reaction processes of co‐precipitation. The comprehensive effects of key parameters on precursor physicochemical properties are also systematically interpreted. Notably, precursor characterization and physicochemical properties, including impurity levels and tolerance ...

Present paper is aimed to predict theoretically the lift, moment and energy of wake vortex on the submerged hydrofoil moving close to the free surface under waves.Satisfying the boundary condition on the free surface, velocity potential is obtained for the bound and free vortex, from which the induced velocity field can be determined. From the boundary

Stad Slide: Preconditioning and failure of one of the world's largest megaslides
ABSTRACT Submarine landslides can generate tsunamis and pose risks to underwater infrastructure, but a lack of direct observations of such slides hinders our understanding of their development and hazard potential. Studying the morphology of past slides can offer insights into their preconditioning and failure.

Effect of Axial Agitator Configuration (Up-Pumping, Down-Pumping, Reverse Rotation) on Flow Patterns Generated in Stirred Vessels [PDF]
Single phase turbulent flow in a tank stirred with two different axial impellers - a pitched blade turbine (PBT) and a Mixel TT (MTT)- has been studied using Laser Doppler Velocimetry. The effect of the agitator configuration, i.e.

Misplaced fears? What the evidence reveals of the ecological effects of tidal power generation
Marine energy (tidal range and stream/flow) is a dependable and clean power source that stands out as a compelling alternative to fossil fuels. Despite widespread concerns surrounding the ecological effects of tidal energy infrastructure, we find few of these are substantiated by evidence or long‐term monitoring of existing tidal power projects.

Numerical simulation of hydrodynamic performance of hydrofoil with inner groove
[Objectives] Underwater hydrofoils have the characteristics of drag reduction and energy conservation. They are often used in the design of rudder and fin stabilizers for high-performance ships.
