Occurrence of severe slugging in oil production lines and mitigation methods: A numerical simulation approach using ALFAsim®

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Severe slugging represents a major challenge in offshore production systems, potentially compromising operational stability and the integrity of installations. Although established simulators such as OLGA® are widely used for its analysis, there is a gap in the literature regarding the application of the one‐dimensional simulator ALFAsim® for ...

Colour Sonar: Multi-Frequency Sidescan Sonar Images of the Seabed in the Inner Sound of the Pentland Firth, Scotland

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2016
The backscatter response of a seabed to an incident sonar signal is dependent on the carrier wave frequency: i.e., the seabed is acoustically colourful.

Research progress and current status of dynamic wave propagation characteristics in rock mass: A review

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This review elucidates the velocity–dispersion–attenuation coupling mechanisms of wave propagation in rock masses, compares six representative models, and reveals how pressure, temperature, mineral composition, and anisotropy jointly control dynamic responses in complex geological media.

Ocean Governance and Marine Conservation: Institutional Work as a Lever for Ocean Sustainability

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ocean governance presents one of the most complex environmental policy challenges of our time, requiring coordinated action across multiple scales, sectors and stakeholder groups. This paper applies institutional work theory to systematically examine how actors create, maintain and disrupt the governance arrangements underpinning ocean ...

Techniques for Classifying Seabed Morphology and Composition on a Subtropical-Temperate Continental Shelf

open access: yesGeosciences, 2019
In 2017, the New South Wales (NSW) Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) initiated a state-wide mapping program, SeaBed NSW, which systematically acquires high-resolution (2–5 m cell size) multibeam echosounder (MBES) and marine LiDAR data along

A Method for the Interpretation of Sonar Data Recorded during Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Missions

open access: yesPolish Maritime Research, 2022
Image acquisition from autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) is useful for mapping objects on the seabed. However, there are few studies on the interpretation of data collected with side-scan sonar during autonomous underwater vehicle missions.
