Flame Behavior Of Bifurcated Jets In A V-Shaped Bluff-Body Burner, Hsiu Feng Yang, Ching Min Hsu, Rong Fung Huang
Journal of Marine Science and Technology
A plane fuel jet bifurcated into two streams of jets by a V-shaped bluff-body burner with co-flowing air streams was studied. The flame behavior, length, and temperature distributions of the bifurcated jets were experimentally examined. Flame behavior was characterized by flame visualization and instantaneous photograph. The flame length characteristics was obtained by using the long-exposure flame images. The temperatures distributions were measured by using a finewire thermocouple. Three characteristic flame modes were revealed—attached flame, transitional flame, and lifted flame. The flame length and width of the bifurcated jets increase with the increase of the Rec in fixed Rea. The length …

Assessing Fishing Port Locations For Adaption Into Yacht Marinas In Taiwan, Ching-Min Yang, Chi-Chang Lai1, Long-Jing Wu, Jan-Jung Li
Journal of Marine Science and Technology
As fishing resources gradually disappear, the original functions of fishing ports change. Modernizing traditional fishing ports is valuable for the fishing industry, tourism, and waterfront development. To determine suitable locations for such ports, an analytic hierarchy process and an interview survey were used to objectively analyze inputs from fishing port managers and yacht users. To establish additional yacht marinas in fishing ports, both groups attached importance to the “support of government and integration of policies” (rank and additive weight of manager : user = 1[0.185] : 2[0.119]). Therefore, inclusion of a complete and appropriate management mechanism must be emphasized during …

Offshore Structural Dynamic Analysis Considering Soil-Structure Interaction By A Coupled Bem And Meshfree Method, Min-Chou Tsai, Hsien Hua Lee, Tinh Quoc Bui, Chuanzeng Zhang
Journal of Marine Science and Technology
An investigation of dynamic offshore structure considering soil-structure interaction by a coupled approach based on boundary element and meshfree methods is presented. The moving Kriging interpolation is used for generating the shape functions because of possessing the Kronecker delta property, which makes easier in imposing the essential boundary conditions. The governing elastodynamic equations are transformed into a standard weak formulation. It is then discretized into a meshfree system of time-dependent equations, which are solved by the standard implicit Newmark time integration scheme. Numerical examples illustrating the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed method are presented and discussed in details. A …
Geometric Solution In Progressive Collapse Analysis Of Hull Girder, Ertekin Bayraktarkatal, Gökhan Tansel Tayyar
Geometric Solution In Progressive Collapse Analysis Of Hull Girder, Ertekin Bayraktarkatal, Gökhan Tansel Tayyar
Journal of Marine Science and Technology
This paper presents a calculation model for stiffened plates to determine the ultimate strength of ship hull girders from their curvatures using a geometrical approach. The present study employed Smith’s method, in which the cross-section is divided into smaller elements consisting of a stiffener(s) and attached plating. The strength of beam-columns and stiffened plates was obtained using an iterative numerical approach. The deflection curve was evaluated using the curvature values directly instead of by solving differential equations. The deflection curve was taken as an assembly of chains of circular arcs. The ultimate strength of the hull girder of a 1/3 …
Liquefaction Potential Of Non-Plastic Silty Sand, Chun-Chi Chen, Wei F Lee, Jing-Wen Chen, Kenji Ishihara
Liquefaction Potential Of Non-Plastic Silty Sand, Chun-Chi Chen, Wei F Lee, Jing-Wen Chen, Kenji Ishihara
Journal of Marine Science and Technology
This paper is to introduce research progress on liquefaction potential of undisturbed high fines content non-plastic silty sand. A new sampling technique that was applied to the field allowing sensitive and high fines content silty sand material to be retrieved in sounding condition is described. Laboratory tests on the liquefaction resistance of non-plastic silty sand that emphasized on the influence of fines content percentages were conducted. It concludes that soil liquefaction would occur in non-plastic silty sand deposits even with high nonplastic fines contents. Both fines contents and void ratios have deterministic influences to the cyclic resistance of such silty …

Journal of Marine Science and Technology
By using the method of physical model tests, the characteristics of mooring ship’s motion responses in transverse long-period waves have been studied under different conditions, including such elements as loading conditions, wave heights, and specific patterns of mooring, etc. The results indicate that: the mooring ship’s movements of surge, sway and yaw had their own natural periods; the movement of sway was a period motion. The ratio of the natural period of sway and the natural rolling period of the mooring ship was within 1.11~1.23. The peak value of sway grew along with the increase of the wave period; the …
Dynamics And Cutting Stability Of Dynamically Loaded Worktable Subjected To Elastic Supports, Kuo-Chiang Cha, Nenzi Wang, Jen-Yi Liao
Dynamics And Cutting Stability Of Dynamically Loaded Worktable Subjected To Elastic Supports, Kuo-Chiang Cha, Nenzi Wang, Jen-Yi Liao
Journal of Marine Science and Technology
This paper investigated the dynamic characteristics and the cutting stability of a dynamically loaded worktable on elastic supports in a surface grinder. The operation of worktables is usually dynamically loaded in various positions, which results in a complex system of governing equations. In this study, the assumptions of elastic and rigid body modes of a free-free beam were specified in analyzing the worktable. By combining the Lagrange energy method with the technique of assumed mode expansion, the system of equations was developed. The absolute value of the maximum negative real part of the overall dynamic compliance (MNRPODC) and the limiting …

Journal of Marine Science and Technology
To investigate the extent of seawater intrusion in the Liao Dong Bay coastal plain, China, a numerical model for variable-density groundwater flow and miscible salt transport was developed. The SEAWAT code was used to solve the density-dependent groundwater flow and solute transport governing equations. The simulation was conducted for 55 months from October, 2004 to April, 2009. The numerical model was calibrated by the hydraulic heads measured in April, 2009. Using the calibrated model and the same hydrogeological conditions in 2004, the extent of seawater intrusion prediction was conducted for the next 40 years. The results show that the extent …

Journal of Marine Science and Technology
The pioneering work of Haller [8] on physically investigating bathymetry-controlled rip currents in the laboratory is a standard benchmark test for verifying numerical nearshore circulation models. In this paper, a numerical model based on higher-order Boussinesq equations was developed to reproduce the number of experiments involved in such an investigation, with emphasis on the effect of computational domain size on the numerical results. A set of Boussinesq equations with optimum linear properties and second-order full nonlinearity were solved using a higher-order finite difference scheme. Wave breaking, moving shoreline, bottom friction, and mixing were all treated empirically. The developed model was …
