Book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences

Download or read book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences written by Wade H. Shafer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1 957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 36 (thesis year 1991) a total of 11,024 thesis titles from 23 Canadian and 161 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 36 reports theses submitted in 1991, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Book Wave Forces on a Pipeline in a Trench

Download or read book Wave Forces on a Pipeline in a Trench written by and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most existing design information for wave forces on pipelines deals with pipes on a flat bottom, not in a trench. However, the Beaufort Sea environment will require submarine pipelines to be placed in trenches. A series of tests representative of Beaufort design conditions was conducted at a scale of 1:15 in the wind-wave flume. Flow visualization tests were also conducted at a scale of 1:60 in a smaller flume to gain information on the complexities of the flow close to the pipe.

Book Horizontal Forces Due to Waves Acting on Large Vertical Cylinders in Deep Water

Download or read book Horizontal Forces Due to Waves Acting on Large Vertical Cylinders in Deep Water written by E. R. Johnson and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The special case of horizontal wave forces on large vertical cylinders in deep water is considered. The typical application for such a case is the calculation of horizontal forces on column-stabilized floating ocean platforms. Existing literature discussing horizontal wave forces on cylinders does not generally agree on how to predict these forces. Since for large-diameter cylinders in deep water the maximum force is completely inertial, the problem of deriving a solution is considerably simplified. In this study, an expression for the maximum horizontal wave force on large-diameter circular cylinders mounted vertically in deep water has been analytically derived. Experimental model studies were also conducted and the resulting measured forces are compared to predicted forces. An example of how to predict horizontal wave forces using the methods of the report is given. (Author).

Book Hydrodynamics Around Cylindrical Structures

Download or read book Hydrodynamics Around Cylindrical Structures written by Jorgen Fredsoe and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1997-03-17 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the subject of wave/current flow around a cylinder, the forces induced on the cylinder by the flow, and the vibration pattern of slender structures in a marine environment.The primary aim of the book is to describe the flow pattern and the resulting load which develops when waves or current meet a cylinder. Attention is paid to the special case of a circular cylinder. The development in the forces is related to the various flow patterns and is discussed in detail. Regular as well as irregular waves are considered, and special cases like wall proximities (pipelines) are also investigated.The book is intended for MSc students with some experience in basic fluid mechanics and for PhD students.

Book Simultaneous Wave and Current Forces on a Cylinder Near the Bottom Boundary

Download or read book Simultaneous Wave and Current Forces on a Cylinder Near the Bottom Boundary written by David Alex Knoll and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interaction of waves and currents and their relationship to the forces on submerged pipelines was investigated at Texas A&M University. A model pipeline in a wave-current test facility is used to obtain experimental force values which are compared to values predicted by various theoretical methods of representing wave propagation in a current. The Morison equation is employed to evaluate the forces on the horizontal cylinder. The major input parameters required by this equation are the water particle kinematics of velocity and acceleration and the coefficients of drag and inertia. Each of these parameters is investigated individually in order to ensure that compensating errors in the force calculations are eliminated. The coefficient of drag is determined from the simultaneous measurements of the horizontal water particle kinematics and the fluid force on the cylinder. Several wave theories for waves propagating in still water are modified to include currents by various combinations of their respective horizontal velocity fields. These water particle kinematics are compared directly to experimentally determined values. The measured forces are compared to the forces obtained by the Morison equation with the coefficients determined in this study and the kinematics predicted by the modified wave theories. The data are also compared to previous results for the individual cases of waves or currents. These comparisons demonstrate the changes of the coefficients of drag for the combined wave and current conditions. The primary purpose of this paper is not to provide explicit prototype design criteria, but to provide the design engineer with an insight into the fluid force parameters of interacting waves and currents. The results are presented in a manner that demonstrates the apparent acceptability of superimposing the velocity fields of the wave and current to predict the total velocity field for the determination of the fluid force by the Morison equation.
