Sensitive Analysis of Different Types of Deep Water Risers to Conventional Mooring Systems

open access: yesInternational Journal of Coastal and Offshore Engineering, 2017
Structural response of different types of conventional deep water riser affected by mooring systems in harsh environment is focused in this study. With increasing water depth, the mooring system design of a floating-type production platform becomes more ...

Coupled dynamics analysis of floating wind turbine mooring system under extreme operating gust

open access: yesApplied Ocean Research
Extreme operational gust (EOG), defined by sudden increases in wind speed, is one of the most hazardous situations for wind turbines and the mooring system. A coupled aero-hydro-servo-elastic simulation model is developed using a dynamic link library and

Dynamic performance of a passively self-adjusting floating wind farm layout to increase the annual energy production [PDF]

open access: yesWind Energy Science
One of the main differences between floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) and fixed-bottom turbines is the angular and translational motions of FOWTs.

Relationships between acoustic scattering layers and ocean stratification: An acoustic approach to estimate mixed layer depth

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Ocean stratification, measured as mixed layer depth (MLD), is an important feature that influences many processes in the ocean; for example, by mediating the fluxes of momentum, heat and crucially key gases such as CO2 and oxygen from the atmosphere into the water column and vice versa. The conventional methods to measure stratification (e.g.,

Dynamics of wind-driven upwelling and relaxation between Monterey Bay and Point Arena: Local-, regional-, and gyre-scale controls [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In north and central California, equatorward winds drive equatorward flows and the upwelling of cold dense water over the shelf during the midspring and summer upwelling season.

Development of a moored radium in situ sampler to measure annual time series

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Radium is a useful tracer of sediment‐derived materials, improving our understanding of the geochemical cycling of elements at ocean boundaries. We have developed an autonomous in situ sampler to collect time series samples of radium isotopes on mooring deployments.

Hydrodynamic Analysis of Mooring Lines of a Floating Seawater Desalting Equipment

open access: yesHaiyang Kaifa yu guanli, 2022
Referring to the specific parameters, working environment and cabling mode of a seawater desalination device, this paper used OrcaFlex, a large-scale marine hydrodynamic analysis software, to establish a hydrodynamic analysis model of the mooring system ...

Sediment trap preservative choice impacts particle‐associated microbial community composition

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding and quantifying the microbial contribution to particulate organic matter (POM) flux and carbon cycling in the ocean relies largely on the collection of sinking POM. A critical aspect of evaluating microbial communities on sediment trap‐collected POM is their preservation until recovery and sample processing.
