Uniform flow past a rigid sphere by the spectral numerical methods
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1997-03)
A steady, axially symmetric, incompressible, viscous flow past a rigid sphere is numerically simulated by using a numerical scheme, based on spectral methods. The equations have been reduced to two sets of nonlinear second ...
Numerical simulation of flow induced by a spinning sphere using spectral methods
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1997-03)
A direct numerical simulation, based on spectral methods, has been used to investigate viscous, incompressible, steady, rotationally symmetric flow due to a sphere rotating with a constant angular velocity about a diameter. ...
The computer simulation and modeling of a flexible missile in 2-D motion.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1989)
The development and computer simulation is presented for a bending flexible missile with a rigid-body controller system moving in a 2-D coordinate frame. In this thesis, the dynamic model was developed through the Equivalent ...
Nonlinear dynamics of close proximity ship towing
(Monterey California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2002-12)
The goal of this study is to investigate the nonlinear dynamics of two ships in close proximity towing. The sway and yaw dynamics of both the leading and the trailing ships were included in the formulation. Previous studies ...
A design procedure for seakeeping analysis of close proximity ship towing
(Monterey, Calif. Naval Postgraduate School, 2002-03)
The purpose of this thesis is to develop an efficient analysis and design procedure for assessing the seakeeping behavior of surface ships in close proximity towing. The problem is formulated by using the heave and pitch ...
Nucleate pool boiling performance of finned and high flux tube bundles in R-114/oil mixtures
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1989-12)
The heat transfer characteristics of pure R-114 and R-114/oil
mixtures during nucleate pool boiling from a small bundle of finned
and High Flux tubes were measured. The bundles had 5 instrumented
and 10 additional heated ...
Maneuverability estimation of high-speed craft
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2015-06)
This thesis focuses on the problem of predicting the maneuvering characteristic of high-speed craft. A mathematical model is derived based on equations by Lewandowski and Denny-Hubble in order to find the fundamental ...
A numerical study of combined convective and radiative heat transfer in a rocket engine combustion chamber
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2002-12)
A numerical study was conducted to predict the combined convective and radiative heat transfer rates on the walls of a small aspect ratio cylinder representative of the scaled model of arocket engine combustion chamber. A ...
Heat transfer enhancement due to bubble pumping in FC-72 near the saturation temperature.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1991-03)
The use of boiling heat transfer in the liquid immersion
cooling of electronic components has always been hampered by
the excessive superheat necessary to initiate nucleation in
the fluorinated hydrocarbons used as ...
Multi-criteria analysis in naval ship design
(Monterey California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2005-03)
Numerous optimization problems involve systems with multiple and often contradictory criteria. Such contradictory criteria have been an issue for marine/naval engineering design studies for many years. This problem becomes ...
