Time-domain hydrodynamic analysis of pontoon-plate floating breakwater

Water Science and Engineering, 2012
The hydrodynamic behaviors of a floating breakwater consisting of a rectangular pontoon and horizontal plates are studied theoretically. The fluid motion is idealized as two-dimensional linear potential flow.

Aerocrane: A hybrid LTA aircraft for aerial crane applications [PDF]

, 1975
The Aerocrane, a hybrid aircraft, combines rotor lift with buoyant lift to offer VTOL load capability greatly in excess of helicopter technology while eliminating the airship problem of ballast transfer. In addition, the Aerocrane concept sharply reduces

Solo Duck Mooring Forces

, 1993
One of the major difficulties in the design of a wave energy device is the occasional occurrence of severe conditions at sea. The largest waves far exceed typical amplitudes over the year. Although it would be possible to make devices large enough to capture the power efficiently in these conditions, it is almost certainly not economical to do so ...

Study on the Anchored Bearing Characteristics of Mooring Pile Foundations in Sandy Soil for Floating Wind Turbines

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
As one of the mooring foundation types for floating wind turbine platforms, research on the anchor pullout bearing characteristics of mooring pile foundations remains insufficient, and the underlying mechanism of anchor pullout bearing capacity needs ...

Variability of currents and mixing processes during the onset of the equatorial cold tongue in the Atlantic [PDF]

, 2012
The heat content of the surface water masses is important for the circulation of the oceans and the atmosphere. The surface layer serves as a medium for the ocean-atmosphere exchange and thereby significantly affects the dynamics of our climate.

Contra-rotating marine current turbines : single point tethered floating system - stabilty and performance [PDF]

, 2009
The Energy Systems Research Unit within the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Strathclyde has developed a novel contra-rotating tidal turbine (CoRMaT). A series of tank and sea tests have led to the development and deployment of a

Research on the Differential Model-Free Adaptive Mooring Control Method for Uncrewed Wave Gliders

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Uncrewed Wave Gliders (UWGs) are capable of harnessing energy from ocean waves and photovoltaic sources to enable long-duration voyages. Since the float’s yaw motion relies on the rudder of the submersible for control, this introduces many unknown ...
