On linearization of Morison force given by high three-dimensional sea wave groups
No full textIn-line loading on slender marine structures may be computed by means of the Morison equation, which includes the inertia term (depending on wave acceleration) and the drag term (depending on square velocity). In the presence of random sea waves (either two- or three-dimensional waves), the Morison equation needs a linearization in the drag term, in order to obtain the force spectrum. In this paper, the Boccotti's Quasi-Determinism theory is applied for the calculation of the drag force given by high three-dimensional wave groups. It is shown that when a crest-to-trough wave of given height H occurs on a vertical pile, the quotient between maxima of sectional drag Morison force and of force given by linearization (both calculated at a fixed depth z) is equal to C times H / Hs, where Hs is the significant wave height. The coefficient C is equal to 1.25 for narrow-band spectra, whatever be the value of z is. For the three-dimensional random wave groups it is obtained that C is equal to 1.25 for z close to 0; the value of C slightly decreases on approaching the bottom. Then, it is shown that the Borgman linearization is not conservative for the calculation of extreme drag forces in three-dimensional waves: for example the maximum drag Morison force given by a wave height H equal to 2 times Hs, is close to 2.3 times the maximum force given by linearization. The results are finally validated by the means of Monte Carlo simulations of random sea waves. © 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

Comparison of floating structures motion prediction between diffraction, diffraction-viscous and diffraction-Morison methods
No full textThis research is targeted to improve the accuracy of diffraction potential theory to predict semi-submersible heave motion response by considering the drag effect in the prediction. From both the numerical and experimental studies, it can be observed that the diffraction potential theory is not predicting well the semi-submersible heave motion response when the motion is dominated by damping. In this research, the viscous damping correction method and Morison equation drag correction method are applied to improve the motion response predicted by diffraction potential theory. This paper will briefly present the procedure to integrate the viscous damping correction method or Morison equation drag term correction method with the diffraction potential theory. The proposed numerical methods are applied in this research to simulate the semi-submersible heave motion response. After that, all simulation results are compared to the experimental result from tests at the same wave condition to validate the proposed numerical methods. From the comparison, it is concluded that Morison equation drag correction method is able to estimate the semi-submersible heave response in the damping dominated region and provides more reasonable motion tendency compare to other methods
Also By The Same Author: AKTiveAuthor, a Citation Graph Approach to Name Disambiguation
No full textThe desire for definitive data and the semantic web drive for inference over heterogeneous data sources requires co-reference resolution to be performed on those data. In particular, name disambiguation is required to allow accurate publication lists, citation counts and impact measures to be determined. This paper describes a graph-based approach to author disambiguation on large-scale citation networks. Using self-citation, co-authorship and document source analyses, AKTiveAuthor clusters papers, achieving precision of 0.997 and recall of 0.818 over a test group of eight surname clusters
John F. Kennedy telegram to Roosevelt
No full textJersey Homesteads (later the Borough of Roosevelt) was established in the 1930s as an agro-industrial cooperative community. It was established specifically for urban Jewish garment workers, many of whom had emigrated from Europe. President John F. Kennedy sent a telegram to the citizens of Roosevelt, New Jersey, apologizing for not being able to attend the memorial dedication in honor of former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. (Jersey Homesteads became Roosevelt in 1945 in honor of the president.) President Kennedy expressed his gratitude to the people of Roosevelt for constructing the memorial, and commented that it will serve as a constant reminder of Roosevelt's good works
Logarithmic variance profiles and the corresponding f-1 spectra of temperature fluctuations in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection
No full textWe report experimental results for the temperature variance 2(z) and the corresponding frequency spectra P(f) in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection (RBC) in a cylindrical sample of aspect ratioT= D/L = 1:00 (D = 1:12 m is the diameter and L = 1:12 m the height). The measurements were conducted in the Rayleigh-number range 1011 < Ra < 1:35 1014 and Pr ' 0:8. For Ra = 1:35x1014, 2(z) could be described well by a logarithmic dependence on the vertical position z in a range of z 1 < z < z 2 with z 1 ' 70 and z 2 = 0:1L. Here L=(2Nu) is the thickness of a thin thermal sublayer adjacent to the horizontal plate where the heat flux (denoted by the Nusselt number Nu) is carried mostly by thermal diffusion. In the log layer, we found that the temperature spectra had a significant frequency range over which P(f) f with close to 1. As Ra decreased, increased so that the log layer became thinner. At Ra = 2:05 1011, z 2 < z 1 and therefore there was no range for a log layer. Correspondingly, the temperature spectrum near the horizontal plate did not have the f1 scaling form either
