Axial vibrations of a propulsion system taking into account the couplings and the boundary conditions

Calculations of the axial vibrations of a marine power transmission system are a very difficult problem owing to the complicated couplings and difficulties in determining the boundary conditions. The torsional–bending–axial coupling action of the system should be accounted for when considering its dynamics. A determination of the mutual interference of system vibrations and their boundary conditions is also necessary. A performance analysis of the main engine bearings, the thrust bearings, and the axial dampers should also be carried out. Thus, the effects of additional bending stresses in the crankshaft and possible vibrations of the ships structure due to the reaction force in the thrust bearings should be considered. I have devised a computer program to analyse the axial vibration problem. The numerical analysis method presented is compared with measurements (performed on real ships) and verified by them.

含蜡热油管道站间摩阻损失的计算

在含蜡热油管道的实际运行过程中，油品的一些物性参数，如比热容、黏度、密度等均随油温的变化而变化。在加热站间管道沿线，流态和流型随着温度的变化也会发生转变。综合考虑以上因素，采用数值积分方法，对加热站间管路划分了区间，各自应用不同的摩阻特性公式进行摩阻损失计算，提高了计算精度。

Computing airfare elasticities or opening Pandora's box

Airfare elasticities are crucial for policy instruments for the stakeholders of tourism industry. Modellers attempting to estimate these elasticities face several challenges in the absence of microeconomic data on consumer preferences. The aim of this paper is to offer a critical analysis of the practice of computing airfare elasticities from tourism demand studies. It identifies and discusses potential sources of measurement errors in the data and drawbacks that investigators face and assesses their implications for the estimated parameters in the respective models. The use of price of crude oil and distance between origin and destination as proxies for transportation costs are evaluated. It is recommended that authors be more systematic in reporting their results. They need to comment on the limitations of their elasticity estimates since these have repercussions on policy recommendations made based on their results.     

Modeling gas dissolution in deepwater oil/gas spills

Gases in deepwater oil/gas spills can lose considerable amounts of the gas phase due to dissolution in water. Gas dissolution has a significant impact on the behavior of the oil/gas jet/plume because of its impact on the buoyancy. A method is presented in this paper for computing gas dissolution that covers a broad range of water depth, from shallow water where gases behave as ideal ones under low pressure to deepwater where gases behave as non-ideal ones under high pressures. The method presented also accounts for the spherical and non-spherical shapes of gas bubbles. The gas dissolution computations are validated by comparing the computed results with observed data from previously conducted laboratory experiments. The gas dissolution computation module is then integrated with a model for underwater oil/gas jets/plumes by Yapa and Zheng [J. Hydraul. Res. 35 (5) (1997) 673]. Scenario simulations are presented to show the impacts of gas dissolution on the behavior of jets/plumes. These scenarios show the impact of dissolution on the behavior of the jet/plume. The comparison of results using ideal gas conditions and non-ideal gas conditions is also shown.
