  • Hydrodynamic contact/impact modeling and application to ocean engineering problems

    Creator:
    Challa, Ravi
    Abstract:
    Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) is a very interesting and challenging multi-disciplinary field involving interaction of a movable or deformable structure with an internal or surrounding fluid flow. FSI has several practical engineering applications such as the determination of the hydrodynamic forces on a structure or the dynamics of motion of bodies...

  • Cable dynamics in an ocean environment

    Creator:
    Tuah, Hang
    Abstract:
    The nonlinear dynamic analysis of cable and cable-large body systems subject to both deterministic and non-deterministic loading is presented in this study. Nonlinearities occur due to large displacements, material nonlinearity, lack of stiffness in compression, and the non-conservative fluid loading. A finite element model is used to model the cable...

  • On the reduction and interpretation of ocean-floor temperature and heat flow data

    Creator:
    Shih, Keh-gong
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, the interpretation and reduction of ocean heat flow measurements are discussed on the basis of theoretical models. The instrument effect x heat flow measurements is investigated for the case of long period measurements by studying the heat conduction along the measurement probe for both steady and unsteady...

  • A remotely operated, autonomous wave energy converter system

    Creator:
    Lewis, Timothy M.
    Abstract:
    The potential for electric energy generation from ocean waves is substantial and much research is being conducted on the conversion process as a renewable, grid-connected, power source. Some of the same attributes that make wave energy harvesting attractive as a grid-connected source also make it attractive as a remote, or...

  • Dynamics of the nearshore wave bottom boundary layer

    Creator:
    Foster, Diane Lyn
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents an examination of the nearshore wave bottom boundary layer under conditions of significant sediment response. Using both field observations and simple models, the response of the bottom boundary layer to random waves is shown to have a complex behavior. First, the linearized wave bottom boundary layer governing...

  • Ocean wave-soil-caisson interaction

    Creator:
    Tsai, Yau-tang
    Abstract:
    Caissons on permeable seabeds have been designed and constructed for a variety of needs in coastal and offshore engineering. An evaluation of the adequacy of the foundation beneath the structure is required for an economic and safe design. To address this requirement, a two-dimensional analytical model of the foundation response...
