This paper predicts resistance and propulsion performances in regular and irregular head waves of a 1800 TEU container ship. ‘Calm-water tests’ and ‘resistance test in regular waves’ have been performed. Methods applied are the LVM-W and the revised ITTC-

Efficient Irregular Wavefront Propagation Algorithms on Hybrid CPU-GPU Machines [PDF]
In this paper, we address the problem of efficient execution of a computation pattern, referred to here as the irregular wavefront propagation pattern (IWPP), on hybrid systems with multiple CPUs and GPUs.

Directional Irregular Wave Kinematics [PDF]
Abstract : Coastal and ocean processes are heavily influenced by the kinematics of waves. In order to understand these processes, researchers place a variety of instruments in the sea in an attempt to measure the waves. These instruments all measure a small set of physical quantities at a small number of locations. The balance of the kinematics must be

Termination of Reentry in an Inhomogeneous Ring of Model Cardiac Cells [PDF]
Reentrant waves propagating in a ring or annulus of excitable media model is the basic mechanism underlying a major class of irregular cardiac rhythms known as anatomical reentry.

Investigations on Irregular Waves in Hydraulic Models
The first part of the paper deals with some aspects of wave generation by mechanical wave-generators, especially with hydraulic transfer functions for pusher movement of the paddle, and the influences of signal characteristics and analysis methods. In the second part, results of measurements of orbital velocities and pressures in irregular waves are ...

A power take-off and control strategy in a test wave energy converter for a moderate wave climate [PDF]
The energy in the waves of oceans and seas can be converted to electricity by different types of Wave Energy Converters (WECs). Wave energy conversion is currently widely studied to contribute to the world’s rising energy needs.

MOORED SHIP RESPONSE IN IRREGULAR WAVES
The traditional concept of representing a "random" sea state by just a variance spectral density has been found to be insufficient for modelling the slow drift oscillations of large moored ships. This paper illustrates, through experimental investigations, the importance of including wave grouping as an additional design parameter.

Irregular Wave Overtopping Rates
Methods for estimating wave overtopping of coastal structures are reviewed and compared with the very limited available data and with each other. The different methods yield results which can vary more than an order-of-magnitude. For vertical seawalls, the U. S.
