Most of the Codes of Practice (API, BSI, DnV, NPD) uses Morison's equation to estimate hydrodynamic loads on fixed and moving offshore structures. The significant difference in the prediction of the loads mainly arises from the assumption of the values of hydrodynamic coefficients. In this paper by analysing a full scale set of data in large KC's numbers collected from Delta Wave Flume in the N...

The hydrodynamic friction used in many comparisons of isomerization reactions with Kramers’ theory is shown to be related to the translational friction. The fractional viscosity dependence of the translational friction of naphthalene is shown to account for the failure of hydrodynamic models for 1,l ‘-binaphthyl in alkanes. The success of the reorkntational model of friction is also discussed. ...

We consider the hydrodynamic limit of a stationary Boltzmann equation in a unit plate with in-flow boundary. The classical theory claims that the solution can be approximated by the sum of interior solution which satisfies steady incompressible Navier-Stokes-Fourier system, and boundary layer derived from Milne problem. In this paper, we construct counterexamples to disprove such formulation in...

The fri ctional force on a Brownian motion particle can be expressed by means of the time· correlation of the fluctuating force on the particle . We show that this method, applied to a spherical particle in a vi scous incompress ible fluid , leads to Stokes ' Law. The calculation is based on the theory of hydrodynamic flu ctuations due to Landau and Lifs hitz, and on a hydrodynamic theorem due ...

In this review, we highlight the physics of synchronization in collections of beating cilia and flagella. We survey the theory synchronization in collections of noisy oscillators. This framework is applied to flagellar synchronization by hydrodynamic interactions. The time-reversibility of hydrodynamics at low Reynolds numbers prompts swimming strokes that break symmetry to facilitate hydrodyna...

A numerical study on the FET-based THz wave generation and detection is presented in this paper. The numerical method is derived directly from the hydrodynamic equations and implemented in Matlab coding. Simulation results are compared with the existing theories, proving the validity of the developed numerical method and providing useful data that the THz detection theory cannot yield. Keywords...

The sound mode hydrodynamic dispersion relation is computed up to order q 3 for a class of gravitational duals which includes both Schwarzschild AdS and Dp-Brane metrics. The implications for second order transport coefficients are examined within the context of Israel-Stewart theory. These sound mode results are compared with previously known results for the shear mode. This comparison allows ...
