Spray generation from free and half-free jets
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1999-03)
This is an experimental investigation of the ligament and drop formation at the free surface of wall jets, flowing over sand-roughened plates, and on unbounded two-dimensional jets, discharging into atmosphere. Experiments ...
Effect of fluid mesh truncation on the response of a Floating Shock Platform (FSP) subjected to an Underwater Explosion (UNDEX)
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1999-09)
Shock trials are required for the lead ship of each new construction shock hardened ship class. The Navy's Floating Shock Platform (FSP) is used in the acceptance of mission essential items for installation aboard shock ...
Spray generation
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1999-09)
This is an experimental investigation of the ligaments and drops generated at the free surface of liquid wall jets and liquid axisymmetric jets flowing over sand and polystyrene (beads) roughed surfaces. Experiments were ...
Sensitivity analysis of transient and steady state characteristics of surface ship progressive flooding
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1999-09)
The Navy's primary analysis of damage control and stability to date has been under static conditions. Dynamic effects, such as progressive flooding, and the dynamic damage control procedures, such as hole patching and ...
A methodology for design of passive isolation for ship/barge connection
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1999-09-01)
Current ramp designs used in RORO operations have been determined to be structurally inadequate in Sea-State 3. The main reason for this is that when the ramp is loaded with two vehicles, the relative motions between the ...
FSR based force torque transducer design
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1993-06)
This thesis report discusses the design, construction and calibration of two force-torque transducers for use in a force control override of a rate control system. Pre-loaded force sensing resistors were used in a computer ...
Improved computer modeling of ship progressive flooding as a design tool
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1998-09-01)
When a ship suffers underwater damage, there is a rapid influx of water, followed by a period of slower progressive flooding. This results in flooding of compartments whose hull boundaries, but not interior bulkheads, are ...
Bias effects on motion stability of submersible vehicles
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1998-09)
This thesis analyzes the nonlinear characteristics of motion stability of a submersible vehicle in combined sway, yaw, and roll motions. Previous results, at zero pitch angles, indicate that limit cycles are generated as ...
Interaction effects of a lower heated tube on pool boiling of R-124 from an upper horizontal tube
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1993-12)
An investigation of the interaction effects of a lower heated tube on pool boiling of pure R-124 from an upper horizontal tube was conducted at a saturation temperature of 2.2 deg C. The test tubes used were: (1) smooth ...
Effect of alumina particle additions on the aging kinetics of 2014-aluminum matrix composites
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1991-09)
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) was conducted on 2014 aluminum, 2014 aluminum reinforced with 10 and 15 percent by volume of alumina particles, 2024 aluminum, and a A1/4%Cu alloy. Electrical resistivity and matrix ...
