In dynamic analysis of floating structures, the designer needs to know the wave forces due to incident and scattered waves on the structure. In this work, the flow field around the body is solved based on the potential theory with considering the free surface and sea bed effects. Using this theory, the wave forces exerted on two typical sea buoys with spherical and disc-type bodies are determin...

MULTI is a computer program that simulates the behavior of matter at the high densities of energy typically found in both, Inertial Fusion Energy (IFE), and related experiments of beam-matter interactions. The primitive one-dimensional version was published in [1], and the most recent two-dimensional extension has been described in [2]. The code is freely available from http://server.faia.upm.e...

Fluid flows that are smooth at low speeds become unstable and then turbulent at higher speeds. This phenomenon has traditionally been investigated by linearizing the equations of flow and testing for unstable eigenvalues of the linearized problem, but the results of such investigations agree poorly in many cases with experiments. Nevertheless, linear effects play a central role in hydrodynamic ...

lem in classical physics and to cite many books and authorities to justify the opinion. It is likewise a cliché to list great physicists and mathematicians, such as Werner Heisenberg, Richard Feynman, and Andrei Kolmogorov, who “failed” to solve the problem despite much effort. Horace Lamb and others have been credited with wishing to seek heavenly wisdom on the subject when they arrived in hea...

The diagonal hydrodynamic reductions of a hierarchy of integrable hydrodynamic chains are explicitly characterized. Their compatibility with previously introduced reductions of differential type is analyzed and their associated class of hodograph solutions is discussed.

This paper studies the rheological properties of a semi-dilute fiber suspension for short fiber reinforced composite materials processing. For industrial applications, the volume fraction of short fibers could be large for semi-dilute and concentrated fiber suspensions. Therefore, fiber-fiber interactions consisting of hydrodynamic interactions and direct mechanical contacts could affect fiber ...

Elevated or reduced velocity of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) at the craniovertebral junction (CVJ) has been associated with type I Chiari malformation (CMI). Thus, quantification of hydrodynamic parameters that describe the CSF dynamics could help assess disease severity and surgical outcome. In this study, we describe the methodology to quantify CSF hydrodynamic parameters near the CVJ and upper ...

There is an increasing demand for knowledge about hydrodynamic, morphological and water quality processes within the estuarine waterways of the Gold Coast. This study describes the development of a suite of hydrodynamic, sediment transport and water quality models for the Gold Coast tidal waterways. The modeling framework described was developed to provide a strategic understanding of waterway ...

Hydrodynamic instabilities in one-dimensional electron flow in semiconductor and their dependency with the electron and lattice temperatures are studied here. The driving force for the electrons is imposed by a voltage difference, and the hydrodynamic and electrostatic equations are linearized with respect to the steady-flow solution. A two-temperature hydrodynamic model predicts a stable elect...
