Effects Of Emf Emissions From Undersea Electric Cables On Coral Reef Fishes, Robert F. Jermain
Effects Of Emf Emissions From Undersea Electric Cables On Coral Reef Fishes, Robert F. Jermain
HCNSO Student Theses and Dissertations
The objective of this project was to determine if the electromagnetic field (EMF) emissions from undersea power cables impacted the local and transient marine life, with an emphasis on reef fishes. The work was done at South Florida Ocean Measurement Facility of Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, Broward County, Florida. This facility functions as the hub for a range of active undersea detection and data transmission cables. It has multiple active submarine power cables that extend several miles offshore and which can deliver power and enable data transmission to and from a range of acoustic and EMF sensors. The …
Underwater Explosion Energy Dissipation Near Waterborne Infrastructure, Paul R. Smith
Underwater Explosion Energy Dissipation Near Waterborne Infrastructure, Paul R. Smith
Theses and Dissertations--Civil Engineering
Underwater explosions pose a significant threat to waterborne infrastructure though destructive pressure waves that can travel significant distances through the water. However, the use of bubble screens can attenuate the peak pressure and energy flux created by explosions to safe levels. This study investigates the prediction of pressure wave characteristics based on accumulated data, the damage potential of underwater explosions based on applied loads and effective material strength, and the bubble screen parameters required to prevent damage. The results were compiled to form a procedure for the design and implementation of a bubble screen the protection of waterborne infrastructure.
