Prediction of resistance and propulsion performances using calm-water and resistance tests in regular head waves of a 1,800 TEU container ship

open access: yesInternational Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, 2022
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-

Assessment of Hydrodynamic Loads on an Offshore Monopile Structure Considering Hydroelasticity Effects

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
Regular and irregular waves were numerically generated in a wave canal to investigate hydrodynamic loads acting on a wind turbine monopile and to predict its structural response.

Efficient Irregular Wavefront Propagation Algorithms on Hybrid CPU-GPU Machines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
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]

open access: yes, 1998
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]

open access: yes, 2002
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

open access: yesCoastal Engineering 1980, 1980
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 ...

Experimental Investigation of Wave-Induced Hydroelastic Vibrations of Trimaran in Oblique Irregular Waves

open access: yesShock and Vibration, 2016
The irregular wave condition, especially the oblique irregular wave condition, is the actual circumstances when trimaran is sailing in sea. In order to identify the characteristic of the wave-induced hydroelastic vibration in irregular waves, as well as ...

A power take-off and control strategy in a test wave energy converter for a moderate wave climate [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
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

open access: yesCoastal Engineering Proceedings, 1982
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

open access: yesCoastal Engineering 1984, 1984
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.
