  • Computational methods for protein-protein interface prediction

    Creator:
    Tribelhorn, Benjamin
    Abstract:
    Protein-protein interactions underlie all biological processes and are a field of study that has wide implications throughout many other fields including medicine, genetics, biology, and ecology. Proteins are the building blocks and primary actors of life. They work together to accomplish virtually every task within a cell, including, metabolism, signal...

  • Scaled modeling and simulation of ocean wave linear generator buoy systems

    Creator:
    Gore, Ganesh P.
    Abstract:
    Accurate scaled modeling and simulation are critical to advancing ocean wave linear generator buoys. A 100th scaled model of ocean wave generator buoy systems is analyzed by solving the Navier-Stokes equations. These equations are numerically solved using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) by implementing the front capturing method. In this thesis,...

  • On the design, modeling, and testing of ocean wave energy converters

    Creator:
    Bosma, Bret
    Abstract:
    Ocean wave energy converter technology continues to advance and new developers continue to emerge, leading to the need for a general design, modeling, and testing methodology. This work presents a development of the process of taking a wave energy converter from a concept to the prototype stage. A two body...

  • A frequency-domain approach to simulating wave energy converter hydrodynamics

    Creator:
    Simmons, Asher
    Abstract:
    Wave energy converter (WEC) devices are complicated systems containing hydrodynamic, mechanical, and electrical elements. WEC design efforts are primarily focused in the time-domain, using frequency-based energy analyses and numerical problem solving approaches that are staples in hydrodynamic design efforts to form the basic information set used in these time-domain development...
