Over‐Water Low‐Energy Neutron Observations for Intensity Corrections Across Cosmic‐Ray Soil Moisture Sensor Networks

open access: yesWater Resources Research
Most studies using cosmic‐ray neutron sensors (CRNS) for soil moisture estimation use high‐energy neutron monitor observations to correct for changes in incoming neutron intensity, but there is interest in over‐water CRNS observations and muon ...

The Pontoon Design Optimization of a SWATH Vessel for Resistance Reduction

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
This study applies a deep neural network (DNN) to optimize the 22.5 m pontoon hull form of a small waterplane area twin hull (SWATH) vessel with fin stabilizers, aiming to reduce calm water resistance at a Froude number of 0.8 under even keel conditions.

Design and hydrodynamic analysis of a wave energy aquaculture platform for deep-sea operations

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
Deep-sea wave-energy-integrated aquaculture platforms (WEAPs) lack systematic design guidance, facing inherent trade-offs between structural safety, aquaculture stability, and wave energy harvesting.

Hydrodynamic Performance of a Dual-Pontoon WEC-Breakwater System: An Analysis of Wave Energy Content and Converter Efficiency

open access: yesEnergies
A dual-pontoon WEC-breakwater system is proposed to optimise space utilisation and reduce construction costs by integrating wave energy converters (WECs) with breakwaters.

A Study on the Thermodynamic Response of Double-Armed Thin-Walled Piers under an FRP Anti-Collision Floating Pontoon Fire

open access: yesBuildings
As a potential fire scenario for bridge structures, the safety impact of an FRP anti-collision floating pontoon fire on bridge structures cannot be ignored.
