Remote sensing technique was applied to estimate suspended sediment concentration (SSC) and to understand transportation, distribution and deposition of suspended sediment in the estuary and throughout the coastal sea, off the Ganges–Brahmaputra River mouth. During low river discharge period, zone of turbidity maximum is inferred in the estuary near the shore. SSC map shows that maximum SSC reaches 1050 mg/l in this period. Magnitude of SSC is mainly owing to resuspension of the bottom surface sediments induced by tidal currents flowing over shallow water depths. The influence of depth on resuspension is farther revealed from the distribution and magnitude of SSC along the head of Swatch of No Ground (SNG) submarine canyon. During high river discharge period, huge river outflow pushed the salt wedge and flashes away the suspended sediments in the coastal sea off the river mouth. Zone of turbidity maximum is inferred in the coastal water approximately within 5–10 m depth of water, where the maximum SSC reaches 1700 mg/l. In this period, huge fluvial input of the suspended sediments including the resuspended bottom sediments and the particles remaining in suspension for longer period of time since their initial entry control mainly the magnitude of SSC. In the estuary near the shore, seasonal variation in the magnitude of SSC is not evident. In the coastal sea (>5 m water depth), seasonal influence in the magnitude of SSC could be concluded from the discrepancy between SSC values of two different seasons. Transportation and deposition of suspended sediments also experiences seasonal variations. At present, suspended sediments are being accumulated on the shallow shelf (between 5 and 10 m water depth) in low discharge period and on the mid-shelf (between 10 and 75 m water depth) during high discharge period. An empirical (exponential) relationship was found between gradual settle down of suspended sediments in the coastal sea and its lateral distance from the turbidity maximum. 相似文献

The possibility of extracting energy from gravity waves for marine propulsion was numerically studied by a two-dimensional oscillating hydrofoil in this study. The commercially available computational fluid dynamics software FLUENT was used for the unstructured grid based on the Reynolds-average Navier?CStokes equation. The free surface waves and motion of the flapping foil were implemented by customizing the FLUENT solver using a user-defined function technique. In addition, dynamic mesh technology and post processing capabilities were fully utilized. The validation of the model was carried out using experimental data for an oscillation hydrofoil under the waves. The results of the simulation were investigated in detail in order to explain the increase of propeller efficiency in gravity waves. Eight design parameters were identified and it was found that some of them greatly affected the performance of wave energy extraction by the active oscillating hydrofoil. Finally, the overall results suggested that when the design parameters are correctly maintained, the present approach can increase the performance of the oscillating hydrofoil by absorbing energy from sea waves. 相似文献

In this study, we present the development and application of a new ecosystem model coupled with a hydrodynamic model to describe the important physical, chemical and biological processes of an ecosystem in the marine environment, the Ariake Sea in the west coast of Kyushu, Japan. The model was calibrated and validated using in-situ field measurements from various monitoring stations in the sea. The presented results covered the period from January 1991 to December 2000. The results showed that chlorophyll-a, nutrients and dissolved oxygen levels varied seasonally in response to weather and boundary condition. Through this study, the model was shown to be able to handle the flooding and drying processes that usually exist and play an essential role over the estuarine-tidal flats of the sea. 相似文献

Determination of the flow structure near the wall is essential for a clear insight into the phenomenon of skin friction reduction
by microbubbles in a turbulent boundary layer. An important parameter, is the bubble concentration or void fraction in the
wall region in drag-reducing conditions. The purpose of this paper is to show drag-reducing effects due to microbubbles in
a water channel and, more importantly, to show the dependence of the drag-reduction values on the near-wall void fraction.
A two-dimensional channel with an aspect ratio of 10 was specially built for this purpose with provisions for air injection
through porous plates. Skin friction was directly measured by a miniature floating element transducer with a 5-mm circular
sensing disk mounted flush on the top wall 67 channel-heights downstream of the injector. The wall friction in the presence
of air bubbles was found to be reduced under the same bulk velocity when compared with the value without air. Detailed void
fraction profiles across the channel were obtained by a sampling probe and a fiber-optic probe. Better collapse of the drag
reduction data, independent of different profile shapes, was found when plotted against the near-wall void fraction than against
a cross-sectional mean void fraction. While this dependence reconfirms that the phenomena are essentially inner-region dependent,
the lack of influence of the bubble distribution patterns away from the wall implies lack of outer region influence. 相似文献

The development of a parametric hull form design system utilizing combined knowledge-based and objectoriented methodologies,
approaches, and techniques is the major purpose of this research. One objective was the development of a powerful, intuitive,
and parameter-based hull definition system with a related hull definition advisory system that would provide useful and necessary
advice to the user. Object and knowledge modeling activities were conducted during the analysis and design stage to facilitate
the implementation of a hull design program and advisory system. The hull design system includes the generation of a geometric
model from a process of aggregating simple user-selected shapes representing different boundaries. Design involves the capability
to vary simple parameters such as entrance angles, length-breadth ratios, and radii to define local and general surface geometries.
Hydrostatic calculations are included for analysis; results are referred to an advisory system for evaluation and the determination
of the acceptability of parameters and analysis results. The advisory system includes a knowledge bases consisting of hull
form databases, results of the statistical analysis of data, design parameter constraints, and expert knowledge acquired from
designers, reference materials, and technical reports. Use of the design tool with the advisory system results in the rapid
generation of hull forms and associated design evaluations. Flexibility in decision making results from the separation of
the design system from the advisory system. The independence of the two systems allows for a wide range of user experience
with experts using the design tool with minimal reference to the advisory system. On the other hand, the expertise and knowledge
stored in the advisory system is fully available to inexperienced designers and users. 相似文献

The course-keeping ability of a pure car carrier (PCC) in windy conditions is discussed in this article. Numerical simulations
of two PCCs were carried out to compare their course-keeping abilities in wind. The two PCCs had the same hull form but different
types of rudder. One PCC was fitted with a semispade rudder (hereinafter, the normal rudder), whereas the other was fitted
with a spade-type Schilling rudder (hereinafter, the Schilling rudder). Both PCCs were designed to a new concept for the accommodation
structure and hull form above the load water line. In this new design concept, there are no sharp corners in the superstructure
so as to reduce wind resistance and improve steering performance. The limits of course keeping for the two PCCs were investigated
through simulations. The course-keeping abilities of the two PCCs, each with two different types of autopilot system, were
also investigated in wind. To develop the numerical simulation, the hydrodynamic coefficients of the two PCCs were predicted
based on the data published for a third PCC having similar principal particulars. The numerical model of the two PCCs was
validated by comparing its behavior with the respective full-scale trial results. Wind resistance coefficients were predicted
by combining the results of wind tunnel experiments of the object PCCs and a regression model. Numerical simulations under
steady wind conditions were also carried out and the results compared with some full-scale experiments to validate the mathematical
model of the PCC. 相似文献

With continuous demand for transportation infrastructure and chronic funding shortfalls, public-private partnerships (PPPs) for infrastructure provision have garnered attention in recent years in the U.S. and abroad. High profile concession deals in Chicago and Indiana have raised concerns about the protection of public interests in PPPs. Such concerns have ignited heated debates, partly driven by ideology and vested interests, but also by questionable decisions made previously. While public agencies at all levels are interested in identifying successful PPP arrangements, the variety and complexity of PPP deals, combined with local factors unique to each project, make the development of a universal evaluation framework practically infeasible. 相似文献

This paper discusses voluntary CO2 emissions reduction schemes and, in particular focuses on the voluntary plan by the Japanese airline industry. Econometric analysis identifies statistically significant improvement of 3–4% in CO2 emissions intensity (CO2/RPK) subsequent to initiation of the voluntary plan in 1998. 相似文献

In designing a control system for large vessels, there are two kinds of nonlinearities which must be considered. One is the
nonlinearity in equations of motion and the other is the saturation in control devices such as engine output or rudders. These
nonlinearities can strongly affect the performance of the control system. A new method to deal with the nonlinearity of saturation
has been proposed in this paper. The saturation is considered as a variation of gain in the system. A control system with
gain variation can be designed by H
∞ control theory. As an example, a course-keeping control system for a course-unstable ship has been presented. The results
show that the method proposed is effective.
