Forces on a horizontal cylinder due to nonlinear waves
(1972-12)
A horizontal cylinder, located near the floor of a two dimensional wave channel was subjected to a train of non-linear gravity waves. The horizontal and vertical forces were measured and presented in dimensionless form. ...
Dynamical stability and maneuverability of dynamically unstable ship
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1973-12)
The factors affecting the stability and the maneuverability
of a dynamically unstable ship were studied using
the linear and non-linear equations of the motion of the
ship. The DSL/360 Language was used to simulate the ...
Wave interaction with large submerged objects
(Monterey, California ; Naval Postgraduate School, 1971-12)
The practical and rigorous solutions of the potential
problem associated with the harmonic oscillation of a submerged
rigid body of arbitrary shape is presented. The use
of Green's function reduces the determination of ...
Added mass of submerged objects of arbitrary shapes
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1972-09)
Hydrodynamic loads induced on large underwater structures
by Impulsive motion may be significant design factors. Such
loads may be induced by earthquake excitation or may result
from acceleration produced while lifting ...
Anchor cable dynamics
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1972-06)
A two dimensional model of an anchor cable subjected to
a uniform current, fixed at the sea bed and moving with a
specified motion at the surface is developed.
A steady state solution is developed and used as an
initial ...
Added mass of a circular cylinder under a free surface
(Monterey, California; Naval Postgraduate School, 1971-12)
When a circular cylinder is immersed in a fluid of infinite extent and oscillated in such a manner that drag effects are negligible, it is well known that the closed form solution gives an added mass coefficient of 1.0. ...
Analysis of wave/object interaction using distributed source elements of linearly varying strengths.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1977-06)
Laminar boundary layer development downstream of a suction slot
(1971)
Laminar boundary layer development downstream of a suction slot was
investigated in a low velocity wind tunnel. In order to observe the
effect of suction on the boundary layer, detailed boundary layer profiles
were ...
