An AUV-Based Investigation of the Role of Nutrient Variability in the Predictive Modeling of Physical Processes in the Littoral Ocean
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our long-term goal is to explore and test the potential effectiveness of low-level nutrient concentrations (nitrate, nitrite, and ammonia) as descriptors of geophysical fields and tracers of physical processes in oligotrophic coastal waters, with particular attention to adapting our laboratory sensor for these nutrients for use in an AUV. The nutrient data are to be incorporated into prognostic physical-biogeochemical models in a feedback mode.

Investigation of Hydrodynamic Derivatives of an AUV Based on the Water Tunnel Testing Maneuvers
Coefficients or hydrodynamic derivatives of autonomous underwater vehicles play a key role in their development. The most popular way for the estimation of coefficient is to implement captive model tests such as straight line tests and planar motion mechanism tests in towing tanks. In this paper, investigation of hydrodynamic derivatives was performed based on the water tunnel maneuvers. Forces...
متن کاملA Mathematical Model for Indian Ocean Circulation in Spherical Coordinate
In recent years, the Indian Ocean (IO) has been discovered to have a much larger impact on climate variability than previously thought. This paper reviews processes in which the IO is, or appears to be, actively involved. We begin the mathematical model with a pattern for summer monsoon winds. Three dimensional temperature and velocity fields are calculated analytically for the ocean forced by ...

The Makran Coast (Iranian Coastline of the Oman Sea on the Northern Indian Ocean) plays an important role in country’s future navigation and trade due to its accessibility. In 2014, the Iranian Makran coastline was selected by the PMO to be studied as the Phase 6 in the series of Monitoring and Modelling Studies of Iranian Coasts with all disciplines being in investigated including currents. Al...
متن کاملAdded Resistance of an AUV Moving Inside a Water Pipeline Due to Wall Proximity
This paper evaluates the added resistance of a torpedo shape AUV, moving inside a water pipeline, due to wall effects within the tube. Today, there are long length pipelines of water or petroleum that need to regular inspection. Early detection of failure will help to prevent breakdown and avoid the huge cost of an accident. As pipelines are enclosed environments and difficult to access, pipeli...
متن کاملInvestigation of Oil Spill Distribution in the Southern Caspian Sea Affected by Seasonal Variability Impacts
Because of environmental sensitivity of the Caspian Sea, any subsea oil spills and blowouts can inflict destructive impacts on marine environment and cause catastrophic damage in the area. Employing mathematical simulation is one of the easiest and most effective prediction tools for understanding the oil spill behavior under various environmental forces. In this regard, Mike3D simulation packa...
