Abstract:

Abstract Efficiently profiling the water column to achieve both high vertical and horizontal resolution from a moving vessel in deep water is difficult. Current solutions, such as CTD tow-yos, moving vessel profilers, and undulating tow bodies, are limited by ship speed or water depth. As a consequence, it is difficult to obtain oceanographic sections with sufficient resolution to identify many relevant scales over the deeper sections of the water column. This paper presents a new concept for a profiling vehicle that slides up and down a towed wire in a controlled manner using the lift created

Abstract:

In this study, particle image velocimetry was applied to measure the flow field around the bow region of a trimaran with different appendages. The dimensionless axial velocity u/U in test planes 1 and 2 of the testing model was measured by using a towed underwater stereoscopic particle image velocimetry (SPIV) system. Based on the measured flow field data, the local sinkage values in test planes 1 and 2 of the testing model with different appendages at speeds of 1.766 and 2.943 m/s were presented. In addition, the effects of speed, bulbous bow type, T foils, and bow wave on the axial velocity

Abstract:

The flow mechanisms of shape-changing moving bodies are investigated through the simple model of a foil that is rapidly retracted over a spanwise distance as it is towed at constant angle of attack. It is shown experimentally and through simulation that by altering the shape of the tip of the retracting foil, different shape-changing conditions may be reproduced, corresponding to: (i) a vanishing body, (ii) a deflating body and (iii) a melting body. A sharp-edge, ‘vanishing-like’ foil manifests strong energy release to the fluid; however, it is accompanied by an additional release of energy, r

Abstract:

Dynamic Velocity Prediction Programs are taking an increasingly prominent role in high performance yacht design, as they allow to deal with seakeeping abilities and stability issues. Their validation is however often neglected for lack of time and data. This paper presents an experimental campaign carried out in the towing tank of the Ecole Centrale de Nantes, France, to validate the hull modeling in use in a previously presented Dynamic Velocity Prediction Program. Even though with foils, hulls are less frequently immersed, a reliable hull modeling is necessary to properly simulate the critic

Abstract:

AbstractIf a moving body were made to vanish within a fluid, its boundary-layer vorticity would be released into the fluid at all locations simultaneously, a phenomenon we call global vorticity shedding. We approximate this process by studying the related problem of rapid vorticity transfer from the boundary layer of a body undergoing a quick change of cross-sectional and surface area. A surface-piercing foil is first towed through water at constant speed, $U$, and constant angle of attack, then rapidly pulled out of the fluid in the spanwise direction. Viewed within a fixed plane perpendicula

Abstract:

On the surface of the Earth, methan is usually located in undermined areas, especially in places where the mining was stopped already. The protection of buildings from methan coming out of bedrock can be provided by layer isolation made of suitable type of polymer foil. The entry deals with the matter of designing the isolation against penetrating methan coming out of bedrock into surface line buildings (e.g. shaft, reservoir, water tower etc.).

Abstract:

As the operational speeds of surface ships and submarines increase, so does the probability that unwanted vibrations caused by the hydroelastic instability (flutter) of the special class of hydrofoils called control surfaces. These include rudders and diving planes. By nature, these are thick symmetric hydrofoils having low aspect ratios. The 3-D tip effects become more pronounced as the aspect ratio decreases. In the present study, the added-mass and circulation terms of the 2-D flutter equations are modified to include three-dimensional effects. The modifications are performed by introducing

Abstract:

In this paper, a method for the determination of the efficiency and limitations of the evaporative cooling process is presented. Ceramic is employed as a packing material in the evaporative equipment. It is shown that the experimental efficiency of the ceramic packing is 10-20% higher as compared to packings made of aluminum foil and multichannel polycarbonate plates because of the absence of common liquid film on the packing surface, and due to the absolute wettability of the ceramic packing.

Abstract:

In this study, simulations and experiments were conducted on reducing the heave and pitch motions of a catamaran. To serve as stability appendages, an actively controlled T-foil and flap were designed, including their dimensions and installation position on the catamaran. Based on the uncoupled analysis of the appendages, the following control strategies were adopted: the previously proposed resultant force and moment distribution with feedback by displacement (RFMD-D) and the newly developed resultant force and moment distribution with feedback by velocity (RFMD-V). These two control strategi

Abstract:

In this paper, we propose a novel logic-rule learning approach for the Tower of Knowledge (ToK) architecture, based on Markov logic networks, for scene interpretation. This approach is in the spirit of the recently proposed Markov logic networks for machine learning. Its purpose is to learn the soft-constraint logic rules for labeling the components of a scene. In our approach, FOIL (First Order Inductive Learner) is applied to learn the logic rules for MLN and then gradient ascent search is utilized to compute weights attached to each rule for softening the rules. This approach also benefits
