Abstract:
To investigate the temperature dependency of the methane bubble dissolution rate, buoyant single methane bubbles were held stationary in a countercurrent water flow at a pressure of 6.9 MPa and temperatures ranging from 288 K to 303 K. The 1 to 3 mm diameter bubbles were analyzed by observation through the pressure chamber viewport using a bi-telecentric CCD camera. The dissolution rate in artificial seawater was approximately two times smaller than that in pure water. Furthermore, it was observed that the methane bubble dissolution rate increased with temperature, suggesting that bubble disso

Worldwide power resources that could be extracted from Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) plants are estimated with a simple one-dimensional time-domain model of the thermal structure of the ocean. Recently published steady-state results are extended by partitioning the potential OTEC production region in one-degree-by-one-degree “squares” and by allowing the operational adjustment of OTEC operations. This raises the estimated maximum steady-state OTEC electrical power from about 3TW(109kW) to 5TW. The time-domain code allows a more realistic assessment of scenarios that could reflect the

Abstract:
Springs are symbolic of the sustainability of life on earth. Since the earliest times flowing springs have been held as sacred and as a subject of awe and fascination. Subterranean water is identified in the creation myths on Babylonian tablets, where waters above the earth are separated from the ‘water of the deep’. The persistence of these creation myths is still reflected in the Arabic word ain or ayun, which has the double meaning of spring and eye (Issar 1991). Springs were the eyes of the gods. Springs (or fountains) were the focal point of many events in the Bible and other religious texts, and were the subject of veneration, as in Psalm 104: 10, ‘He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills Modern scientific understanding of the origins of spring flow dates from the seventeenth century. The earliest explanations of the hydrological cycle, often termed the reversed hydrological cycle, probably stem from biblical sources (Ecclesiastes 1: 7). The unexplained constancy of the ocean volume was accounted for by the return of seawater through the rocks, which then purified them and returned the water to the surface as freshwater rivers and springs. This interpretation of the hydrological cycle persisted through the writings of ancient Greece and Rome as in Seneca’s Quaestiones Naturales and into the Middle Ages (Tuan 1968) until correctly explained by Edmond Halley(Halley 1691). In modern society spring waters are valued highly because they still embody an element of mystery and bring us face to face with the subsurface expression of the hydrological cycle or ‘groundwater’. There is also traditional belief that spring waters represent a source of perennial pure water. The properties of pure spring water command a high market value and in a world where tap water is (often wrongly) perceived as something less pure, the bottled water image-makers seek after evidence of the purity, longevity, and healing properties of the spring, with a zeal that echoes the reverence accorded to spring waters by early philosophers. The objective of this chapter is to explore the reasons for the decline of natural springs and the fragility of groundwater resources in general.

Abstract:
As in Chapter 2, so again here the intention is to review ideas that are already familiar, rather than to introduce the unfamiliar; to build a springboard, but not yet to leap off into space. The familiar idea is of flow down a gradient—water running downhill. Parallels are electric current in a wire, salt diffusing inland from the sea, heat flowing from the fevered brow into the cool windowpane, and helium diffusing through the membrane of a helium balloon. For any of these, we can imagine a linear relation: . . . Flow rate across a unit area = (conductivity) x (driving gradient) . . . where the conductivity retains a constant value, and if the other two quantities change, they do so in a strictly proportional way. Real life is not always so simple, but this relation serves to introduce the right quantities, some suitable units and some orders of magnitude. For present purposes, the second and fourth of the examples listed are the most relevant. To make comparison easier we imagine a barrier through which salt can diffuse and through which water can percolate, but we imagine circumstances such that only one process occurs at a time. Specifically, imagine a lagoon separated from the ocean by a manmade dike of gravel and sand 4 m thick, as in Figure 3.1. If the lagoon is full of seawater but the water levels on the two sides of the dike are unequal, water will percolate through the dike, whereas if the levels are the same and the dike is saturated but the lagoon is fresh water, salt will diffuse through but there will be no bulk flow of water. (More correctly, because seawater and fresh water have different densities, and because of other complications, the condition of no net water flow would be achieved in circumstances a little different from what was just stated. For present purposes all we need is the idea that conditions exist where water does not percolate but salt does diffuse.) For flow of water driven by a pressure gradient, suitable units are shown in the upper part of Table 3.1 and for diffusion of salt driven by a concentration gradient, suitable units are shown in the lower part.

Abstract:
Smart farming is a key to develop sustainable agriculture, involving a wide range of information and communication technologies comprising machinery, equipment, and sensors at different levels. Seawater, which is available in huge volumes across the planet, should find its optimal way through irrigation purposes. On the other hand, underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) finds its way actively in current researches where sensors are deployed for examining discrete activities such as tactical surveillance, ocean monitoring, offshore analysis, and instrument observing. All these activities are based on a radically new type of sensors deployed in ocean for data collection and communication. A lightweight Hydro probe II sensor quantifies the soil moisture and water flow level at an acknowledged wavelength. The freshwater absorption repository system (FARS) is matured based on the mechanics of UWSNs comprised of SBE 39 and pressure sensor for analyzing atmospheric pressure and temperature. This necessitates further exploration of FARS to complement smart farming. Discrete routing protocols have been designed for data collection in both compatible and divergent networks. Clustering is an effective approach to increase energy efficient data transmission, which is crucial for underwater networks. Furthermore, the chapter attempts to facilitate seawater irrigation to the farm lands through reverse osmosis (RO) process. Also, the proposed irrigation pattern exploits residual water from the RO process which is identified to be one among the suitable growing conditions for salicornia seeds and mangrove trees. Ultimately, the cost-effective technology-enabled irrigation methodology suggested offers farm-related services through mobile phones that increase flexibility across the overall smart farming framework.

‘The tide in shelf seas’ describes progressive waves, standing waves, and what happens when a shelf sea is in resonance, using the example of the Gulf of St Vincent off the south Australian coast. It also considers the effect of Earth rotation and tides in shallow water, where the rare feature is double high water or double low water. The great ocean basins are bordered by shallow seas lying on the continental shelves. Shelf seas are generally less than 200 metres deep and vary in width from almost nothing to hundreds of kilometres. It is in these shallow seas and the rivers that flow into them that the most spectacular tides are found.

Abstract:
One answer to this chapter’s question is straightforward and based on high-school physics. The early SCUBA divers quickly discovered that if they took underwater colour photographs, even if they were only a few metres down, their pictures had a strong blue cast to them. However, if they illuminated their subjects with a flash, then a more colourful world emerged in their pictures—especially if they were photographing the rich diversity of highly coloured fish that can be found in some parts of the tropics. The reason for the blueness is that as sunlight passes through water the colours of the spectrum are absorbed at different rates, with the long wavelengths (e.g. red) absorbed first and the higher-energy shorter wavelengths (e.g. blue) penetrating deeper into the depths. It follows that underwater available light is predominantly blue and that any light reflected from within the water body is more likely to be from the bluer end of the spectrum of visible light. So, light coming from the sea to our eyes is mainly blue because these wavelengths are least absorbed; indeed oceanographers who have studied some of the cleanest waters describe them as looking ‘violet blue’. As biologists we are interested in a more ecological answer to the question, ‘Why is the sea blue’? The physics explanation only works if seawater is reasonably clear, and it is this clarity that biologists need to explain. Consider our opening quotation, which comes from Peter Matthiessen’s book describing early attempts to film the great white shark in its natural habitat. It raises an interesting ecological question—why can a SCUBA diver or snorkeler see where they are going in the ocean? Put another way, why is the sea blue rather than green? The upper layer of the ocean with enough light for photosynthesis is called the euphotic zone (defined as extending down to the point where only 1% of photosynthetically usable light is present compared with surface light levels); this is often only a few tens of metres deep, but in extremely clear water near Easter Island in the Pacific it has recently been found to extend down to 170 m depth.

Full text
Abstract:
Estuaries are commonly described as semi-enclosed bodies of water, situated at the interface between land and ocean, where seawater is measurably diluted by the inflow of freshwater (Hobbie, 2000). The term “estuary,” derived from the Latin word aestuarium, means marsh or channel (Merriam-Webster, 1979). These dynamic ecosystems have some of the highest biotic diversity and production in the world. Not only do they provide a direct resource for commercially important estuarine species of fishes and shellfish, but they also provide shelter and food resources for commercially important shelf species that spend some of their juvenile stages in estuarine marshes. For example, high fish and shellfish production in the northern Gulf of Mexico is strongly linked with discharge from the Mississippi and Atchafalaya rivers and their associated estuarine wetlands (Chesney and Baltz, 2001). Commercial fishing in this region typically brings in 769 million kg of seafood with a value of $575 million. Fisheries production and coastal nutrient enrichment, via rivers and estuaries, are positively correlated within many coastal systems around the world (Nixon et al., 1986; Caddy, 1993; Houde and Rutherford, 1993). The coupling of physics and biogeochemistry occurs at many spatial scales in estuaries (figure 1.1; Geyer et al., 2000). Estuarine circulation, river and groundwater discharge, tidal flooding, resuspension events, and exchange flow with adjacent marsh systems (Leonard and Luther, 1995) all constitute important physical variables that exert some level of control on estuarine biogeochemical cycles. There has been considerable debate about the definition of an estuary because of the divergent properties found within and among estuaries from different regions of the world. Consequently, there have been numerous attempts to develop a comprehensive and universally accepted definition. Pritchard (1967, p. 1) first defined estuaries based on salinity as “semi-enclosed coastal bodies of water that have a free connection with the open sea and within which sea water is measurably diluted with fresh water derived from land drainage.” A general schematic representation of an estuary, as defined by Pritchard (1967), and further modified by Dalrymple et al. (1992) to include more physical and geomorphological processes, is shown in figure 1.2.

Abstract:
To this point we have measured reaction progress parametrically in terms of the reaction progress variable ξ, which is dimensionless. When in Chapter 11 we reacted feldspar with water, for example, we tied reaction progress to the amount of feldspar that had reacted and expressed our results along that coordinate. Studying reactions in this way is in many cases perfectly acceptable. But what if we want to know how much time it took to reach a certain point along the reaction path? Or, when modeling the reaction of granite with rainwater, how can we set the relative rates at which the various minerals in the granite dissolve? In such cases, we need to incorporate reaction rate laws from the field of geochemical kinetics. The differences between the study of thermodynamics and kinetics might be illustrated (e.g., Lasaga, 198la) by the analogy of rainfall on a mountain. On the mountaintop, the rainwater contains a considerable amount of potential energy. With time, it flows downhill, losing energy (to be precise, losing hydraulic potential, the mechanical energy content of a unit mass of water; Hubbert, 1940), until it eventually reaches the ocean, its lowest possible energy level. The thermodynamic interpretation of the process is obvious: the water seeks to minimize its energy content. But how long will it take for the rainfall to reach the ocean? The rain might enter a swift mountain stream, flow into a river, and soon reach the sea. It might infiltrate the subsurface and migrate slowly through deep aquifers until it discharges in a distant valley, thousands of years later. Or, perhaps it will find a faster route through a fracture network or flow through an open drill hole. There are many pathways, just as there are many mechanisms by which a chemical reaction can proceed. Clearly, the questions addressed by geochemical kinetics are more difficult to answer than are those posed in thermodynamics. In geochemical kinetics, the rates at which reactions proceed are given (in units such as moles/sec or moles/yr) by rate laws, as discussed in the next section. Kinetic theory can be applied to study reactions among the species in solution.

The annuli between two casings can be closed or open to formation. After completion, the temperature of the annular fluids will be close to the formation temperature. This is because it will take some time for the well to begin to exchange heat with the produced fluids from the reservoir. If the well is located in deep water, the wellhead temperature will be equal to the bottom seawater temperature. At the start of production, warm reservoir fluids will be transported upward to the surface. This will transport heat to the upper part of the well and heat up fluids in the closed annuli. Because

Abstract:
Abstract In deep-water drilling, the drilling fluid is affected by the alternating temperature field derived from the low temperature of the seawater and the high temperature of the formation. The complicated wellbore temperature and pressure environments make the prediction of rheological properties of the drilling fluid difficult. In this study, the rheological properties of water-based drilling fluid in full temperature and pressure range of deep-water conditions were tested from 2 to 150 °C (35.6 to 302 °F) and 0.1 to 70 MPa (14.5 to 10000psi). The experiment was carried out by the OFI130-

Abstract:
The increasing application of flexible pipes in deep water requires extension of the product’s capability through higher design pressures with large diameters, while one of the most important structural capacities is collapse resistance. In addition to the introduction of new materials and manufacturing capability, the carcass structure is also expected to be optimized for maximum purpose. The carcass is an interlocked metallic construction that is used as the innermost layer to prevent for example, either totally or partially, the collapse of the internal pressure sheath due to decompression,

The “Deep Water Horizon” Mobil Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU) is one of several classes of floatable drilling machines. As a consequence of the accident on April 20, 2010, the worst ecological disaster with regard to oil spills in the US history was generated in the Gulf of Mexico, causing extensive damage to marine and wildlife habitats, as well as the Gulf’s fishing and tourism industries. Since that moment, experts are trying to estimate the total amount of oil being lost into the sea.

Abstract:
Abstract Floating wind turbine facilities installed in deep sea areas play an essential role in the promotion of green energy. One of the problems associated with the commercialization of facilities installed in the deep sea is the maintenance cost of mooring chains, because they are expensive and wear between links leads to chain breakage. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a quantitative wear evaluation method for mooring chains. An experimental facility to reproduce the wear caused by sliding between links at the scale of an actual floating wind turbine was developed to investigate the

Abstract:
Producing hydrocarbon from deep water assets is extremely challenging and expensive. A good estimate of rates from multiple pay zones is essential for well monitoring, surveillance, and workover decisions. Such information can be gleaned from flowing fluid pressure and temperature; deep-water wells are often well instrumented that offers such data on a continuous basis. In this study a model is presented that estimates zonal flow contributions based on energy and momentum balances. Kinetic and heat energy coming from the reservoir fluid to the production tubing is accounted for in the model. T

Abstract:
Abstract The internal flow in gas-liquid mixing riser often displays a flow pattern known as slug flow, in which gas and liquid are alternately distributed. Dynamic effects due to slug flow is normally most obvious in areas along the riser with high curvature, which is caused by the centrifugal load component. The global riser response to this excitation can be predicted by nonlinear time domain analysis using the load model as described for slug flow conditions. In this study, the riser with internal slug flow is modeled under the framework of Arbitrary-Lagrange-Euler (ALE) description by usi

Abstract:
Cruise AL534/2 is part of a multi-disciplinary research initiative as part of the JPI Oceans project HOTMIC and sought to investigate the origin, transport and fate of plastic debris from estuaries to the oceanic garbage patches. The main focus of the cruise was on the horizontal transfer of plastic debris from major European rivers into shelf regions and on the processes that mediate this transport. Stations were originally chosen to target the outflows of major European rivers along the western Europe coast between Malaga (Spain) and Kiel (Germany), although some modifications were made in r
