Estimate of Strouhal and Reynolds numbers for swimming penguins
Journal of Avian Biology, 2022 Propulsion performance of swimming and flying animals is often evaluated by using dimensionless numbers, such as the Strouhal and Reynolds numbers. They have been shown to allow a better understanding of locomotion efficiency, using relatively simple ...

Power Prediction Method for Ships Using Data Regression Models
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 This study proposes machine learning-based prediction models to estimate hull form performance. The developed models can predict the residuary resistance coefficient (CR), wake fraction (wTM), and thrust deduction fraction (t). The multi-layer perceptron

Displaced geostationary orbit design using hybrid sail propulsion [PDF]
, 2011 Because of an increase in the number of geostationary spacecraft and the limits imposed by east–west spacing requirements, the geostationary orbit is becoming congested. To increase its capacity, this paper proposes to create new geostationary slots by
