  • Mass transport in laboratory water wave flumes

    Creator:
    Kim, Tae In
    Abstract:
    A complete solution, exact to second-order, for wave motion forced by a hinged-wavemaker of variable-draft is presented. A solution for a piston type wavemaker is also obtained as a special case of a hinged-wavemaker with negative infinite draft. The existing Stokes inviscid theories for mass transport is extended to include...

  • Nonlinear oscillations, bifurcations and chaos in ocean mooring systems

    Creator:
    Gottlieb, Oded
    Abstract:
    Complex nonlinear and chaotic responses have been recently observed in various compliant ocean systems. These systems are characterized by a nonlinear mooring restoring force and a coupled fluid-structure interaction exciting force. A general class of ocean mooring system models is formulated by incorporating a variable mooring configuration and the exact...
