Tidal Evolution of Close-in Planets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Recent discoveries of several transiting planets with clearly non-zero eccentricities and some large inclinations started changing the simple picture of close-in planets having circular and well-aligned orbits.

Oil Booms in Tidal Currents

open access: yesJournal of the Waterways, Harbors and Coastal Engineering Division, 1970
The classic, and most effective way to prevent the spread of oil spilled in harbors is by surrounding the spill with a floating barrier, or boom In calm water, with no currents, early devices made from telephone poles and canvas were more or less effective In the presence of currents, however, and particularly with larger spills, the problem rapidly ...

Hydrodynamic Model for the Water Renewal In The Damietta Port Basin [PDF]

open access: yesPort Said Engineering Research Journal, 2017
Planning and alignment of man-made maritime water areas such Damietta Port, have to be carefully designed to guarantee adequate water exchange between the port basin water and the open sea fresh water. Stagnant water areas could consist in isolated areas,

Energy Storage Technologies for Smoothing Power Fluctuations in Marine Current Turbines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
With regard to marine renewable energies, significant electrical power can be extracted from marine tidal current. However, the power harnessed by a marine current turbine varies due to the periodicity of the tidal phenomenon and could be highly ...

Tidal Current Energy Resource Distribution in Korea

open access: yesEnergies, 2019
Korea is a very well-known country for having abundant tidal current energy resources. There are many attractive coastal areas for the tidal current power that have very strong currents due to the high tidal range and the acceleration through the narrow ...

On the Early In Situ Formation of Pluto's Small Satellites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The formation of Pluto's small satellites - Styx, Nix, Keberos and Hydra - remains a mystery. Their orbits are nearly circular and are near mean-motion resonances and nearly coplanar with Charon's orbit.

On the Use of a Single Beam Acoustic Current Profiler for Multi-Point Velocity Measurement in a Wave and Current Basin

open access: yesSensors, 2020
Harnessing the energy of tidal currents has huge potential as a source of clean renewable energy. To do so in a reliable and cost effective way, it is critical to understand the interaction between tidal turbines, waves, and turbulent currents in the ...

The parameterisation of turbulence in the marine environment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
There are many problems in the fields of flow modelling around structures and tidal stream energy yield analysis which require a thorough understanding of the turbulent and time-averaged flow speeds in marine environments.
