Simple drag prediction strategies for an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle’s hull shape
No full textThe range of an AUV is dictated by its finite energy source and minimising the energy consumption is required to maximise its endurance. One option to extend the endurance is by obtaining the optimum hydrodynamic hull shape with balancing the trade-off between computational cost and fluid dynamic fidelity. An AUV hull form has been optimised to obtain low resistance hull. Hydrodynamic optimisation of hull form has been carried out by employing five parametric geometry models with a streamlined constraint. Three Genetic Algorithm optimisation procedures are applied by three simple drag predictions which are based on the potential flow method. The results highlight the effectiveness of considering the proposed hull shape optimisation procedure for the early stage of AUV hull desig
Reactions to crime, criminality and class in Hull and East Yorkshire during the interwar period
No full textThe interwar years have often been depicted as a period characterised by the consolidation and expansion of more progressive attitudes to crime. Reform and rehabilitation challenged retaliation and retribution for primacy in both criminal justice discourses and practice, while modern, scientific methodologies continued to shape perceptions of, and offer solutions to, a whole range of criminal behaviours. Moreover, crime was rarely politicised and never the issue it would become in the second half of the twentieth century.However, these are generalisations and offer only a partial account of crime in the interwar years – one that masks potentially divergent responses in towns and cities across the country. The localised characteristics and discretionary nature of criminal justice, and the asymmetrical impact that a range of social, political and economic issues had on attitudes to crime, make it difficult to present an overarching ‘national’ narrative of the period. Instead, more focused studies, which draw out the specificities and complexities of responses at a local level, may be needed. To that end, this study looks at the region of Hull and East Yorkshire, examining and evaluating a range of sources including police files, court records and parliamentary papers, and with a focus on a quantitative and qualitative content analysis of the local press.Here a more nuanced account is presented, where sustained levels of anxiety about crime drove diverse and at times seemingly incongruous reactions to offending. In this often incoherent collision of ideals, regional exigencies could precipitate calls for more punitive responses to crime and perpetuate certain pejorative conceptualisations of criminality, while at the same time eliciting sympathetic views, supporting notions of reform and the belief in the reclamation of the individual. It is an account that perhaps more aptly reflects the intricacies of what was a diverse period of British history

Sensationalising Hull: Mary Elizabeth Braddon’s Theatrical and Literary Connections
No full textBest-selling Victorian sensation fiction author Mary Elizabeth Braddon was (in)famous for novels depicting female bigamists, attempted murder, arson and bribery; anything and everything that shocked Victorian sensibilities. Before she gained international fame with Lady Audley’s Secret (1862) and Aurora Floyd (1862) though, she began her writing career in the East Riding, and she continued to use the county as a setting for her fiction for the next fifty years. Braddon also toured the county as a travelling actress in the 1850s, sparking a debate within Hull’s Board of Health while raising money for Pearson Park. Braddon’s connections with Hull and the East Riding illustrate her creative talents, her fiery passion and a notoriety that continued for the rest of her life
The hydrodynamic and dynamic motion analysis of a damaged ship
No full textThe hydrodynamic analysis and motion response of a damaged ship requires a novel generalisation of the methodsnormally applied to intact ships or other floating structures. Damaged ship statistics are used to provide likely damage scenarios. Water ingress, arising from the hull damage will require special attention regarding the influence of the presence of internal free surfaces and the modelling of the air stiffness associated with the within cargo hold air located between the internal movable free surface and the deck. The additional ideas required are developed and applied to a damaged optimised bulk carrier, the Derbyshire. This hull form is selected because of the well-publicised available associated structural details
