Moving Load Analysis of Submerged Floating Tunnels
The concept of floating submerged tunnels becomes increasingly attractive idea to cross the straits. The structural solution in these bridges includes buoyancy force on tunnel body plus tension in mooring tethers. This paper investigates the effect of submergence on the dynamic response of submerged floating tunnels due to moving load. The inertial effect of the fluid on the submerged structure...
متن کاملScale-Model Experiments for the Surface Wave Influence on a Submerged Floating Ocean-Current Turbine
In order to harness the kinetic energy of marine currents, we propose a novel ocean-current turbine with a horizontal axis. The turbine can be moored to the seabed and function similarly to kites in a water flow. To operate such turbines in a marine current, the resulting rotor torque needs to be canceled. Therefore, the proposed turbine is designed with a float at its top and a counterweight a...
متن کاملCapillary force acting on a colloidal particle floating on a deformed interface.
We analytically determine the lateral capillary force acting on a spherical colloid trapped at an interface of arbitrary shape. Our calculations, which are valid for colloids that are small with respect to the capillary length, take into account surface tension, pressure and gravity. We relate the force acting on the colloid to the shape of the liquid interface prior to colloid deposition. Our ...
متن کاملWave drag on floating bodies.
We measure the deceleration of liquid nitrogen drops floating at the surface of a liquid bath. On water, the friction force is found to be about 10 to 100 times larger than on a solid substrate, which is shown to arise from wave resistance. We investigate the influence of the bath viscosity and show that the dissipation decreases as the viscosity is increased, owing to wave damping. The measure...
