Impact Of Constructing A Low Crested Weir In Cape Canaveral On Flushing In The Banana River, Atousa Saberi
Impact Of Constructing A Low Crested Weir In Cape Canaveral On Flushing In The Banana River, Atousa Saberi
Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this study is to determine the extent to which constructing a low crested weir adjacent to Port Canaveral improves ushing in the Banana River. The Banana River is a 50 km long sub-basin of Indian River Lagoon (IRL), located between Cape Canaveral and Merritt Island in Brevard County. Although Port Canaveral locks connect the Banana River to the ocean, the locks remain closed when there are no passing vessels; therefore, it has limited circulation and a long ushing time. Declining water quality can be linked to recent high mortality events of di erent species living in the …
Resistance Prediction For Asymmetrical Configurations Of High-Speed Catamaran Hull Forms, Srikanth Asapana
Resistance Prediction For Asymmetrical Configurations Of High-Speed Catamaran Hull Forms, Srikanth Asapana
Theses and Dissertations
Predicting the resistance of a high-speed catamaran has been of interest to naval architects for the last three decades. Even though considerable amount of research has been carried out in this area, there remains a degree of uncertainty in the accurate resistance prediction of catamaran hull forms in the early design stage. Researches carried out so far have generally ignored the resistance characteristics of unconventional and unsymmetrical catamaran hull forms. This thesis attempts to undertake a comparative analysis of resistance characteristics between newly developed unconventional catamaran hull forms of different configurations derived from existing conventional NPL series of round bilge …

Cfd Investigation Of Resistance Of High-Speed Trimaran Hull Forms, Chang Hwan Son
Theses and Dissertations
Although catamarans continue to increase in size and application with bigger and better designs than the present generation, trimaran and multi-hull forms for high-speed operation are a recent phenomenon due to speed of turnaround time and payload. To fulfill the stringent requirement for commercial and military transportation, various versions of optimum design are being undertaken recently. In particular, the high-speed ferry industry is presently looking at novel hull forms such as the form of trimarans and pentamarans which are considered in one of the most affordable hull forms for high-speed operation around the world. However, few published articles are in …
