Interactions between wavemaking and the boundary layer and wake of a ship model
No full textA detailed experimental study has been conducted in a towing tank on a 3.048-meter-long mathematical model, known as the Wigley hull, to study the effects of viscosity on the wavemaking resistance of the ship form. The measurements included total resistance, viscous resistance, pressure distribution, and boundary-layer measurements of the model at zero trim and sinkage. The three-dimensional boundary-layer measurements extend from midship to a distance of 0.1 model lengths downstream of the stern and include the pressure distribution on the body, and three components of the mean velocity measured by means of a five-hole pitot tube. These measurements were carried out for four Froude numbers of 0.266, 0.313, 0.350 and 0.400. A numerical method, using the small-crossflow approximation of the boundary-layer equations, has been employed to calculate the boundary-layer characteristics along the streamlines on the hull which were obtained by using Guilloton's methode A comparison between calculation and experimental results has been made. The wave-resistance coefficients of the ship form have been calculated by the Michell integral, using the Michell thin-ship centerplane distribution, a hull surface distribution and a slender-body centerplane distribution. These calculations have been carried out for two different cases, 1) wave resistance calculation without the effect of the boundary layer and wake, and 2) calculations including these effects. These calculations have been carried out only to first order and have been compared with the residuary resistance and the wave-profile resistance
Knowing students
No full textIn 2010 we taught a large first-year class of Women's Studies students. The previous year we had reviewed the literature amassing in support of the Federal Government's push to increase the representation of Indigenous, low socio-economic status (SES) and rural students at university in the wake of what is known as the Bradley Review (2008). This reading had sensitised us to the situation that some students were at risk of dropping out, particularly those who were first in their family at university, a category of students which overlaps with those who are Indigenous, rural or from low SES backgrounds, as well as some who are refugees. Not wanting to put students on the spot, but wanting to identify those who might need some extra support, we designed a 'getting to know you' questionnaire for students to complete in the first tutorial. While we both had a keen intellectual interest in the information we gathered, and while we both would have characterised ourselves as committed and conscientious teachers, we were unprepared for the transformative effect the exercise had on us.Heather Brook and Dee Michel
The Critics : Rabbitt Like Pretty Automatons
No full textThe first article is a duplicate of an item forming part of hy-dm-news-reviews-michell-1977-001The article containing information about Brian Finch and Kenny Henson has been underlined in red pen.Item located in file hy-dm-finch-henson-1947-2007-001. Not all items in folder uploaded.The first article pertains to a concert featuring Rabbitt/ 5000 Volts and Brian Finch with Kenny Henson at the Film Trust Arena whereby the author reflects on all the musicians, points out the faults and provides praise where warranted. The second article refers to the same concert which took place at the Arena the previous evening. Apart from mentioning some commendable points of the evening, the author discusses the shortfalls attached to the Rabbitt performance and points out the similarities between the Henson and finch performance compared to their previous appearances
A strain tensor method for three-dimensional optimal Michell structures
No full textThesis: M. Eng., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2016.This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Cataloged from student-submitted PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (pages 94-95).In the design of discrete structures such as trusses and frames, important quantitative goals such as minimal weight or minimal compliance often dominate. Many numerical techniques exist to address these needs. However, an analytical approach exists to meet similar goals, which was initiated by A.G.M. Michell (1904) and has been mostly used for two-dimensional structures so far. This thesis develops a method to extend the existing mainly two-dimensional approach to apply to three-dimensional structures. It will be referred as the Michell strain tensor method (MSTM). First, the proof that MSTM is consistent with the existing theory in two dimensions is provided. Second, two-dimensional known solutions will be replicated based on MSTM. Finally, MSTM will be used to solve new three- dimensional cases.by Benjamin Jacot.M. Eng
On the Possession of Truth in Fiction: A.S. Byatt's Confrontation with the Role of the Author
No full textWhen Possession’s protagonist, a post-structuralist/deconstructionist scholar named Roland Michell, finds and takes drafts of a letter written by Victorian poet Randolph Henry Ash, A.S. Byatt re-opens the longstanding debate concerning the ownership of truth and an author’s role in textual interpretation, ultimately asking: Who owns the meaning of a text? And even more so, why? The act of theft from the private world of an author (and the journey it spurs) allows Possession to coincide with pre-formalist notions about the author—that the author and their life is central to the meaning of their work—despite a dominant knowledge of formalism, new criticism, structuralism, poststructuralism, and deconstruction in the contemporary timeline. However, Possession’s three-and-a-half-page postscript chapter unravels a novel-length endorsement of pre-formalist notions, affording the novel a neutral existence that does not condemn nor encourage reliance on the biography of the author. As a result, this essay finds that the novel acts as a means for readers to identify two fundamental ideas about authorship and to witness a regressive transition from a post- to pre-formalist literary approach. In fact, by depicting the common occurrence of exchange to curate an author’s belongings (despite their passing), Possession even suggests that the reconfiguration of the author is a response to capitalist commodification. And so, by utilizing the theories of Roland Barthes and Michel Foucault, this essay argues how Possession shows the role of capitalism and consumerism in the contemporary approach to literature
Flow past a sphere at the free-surface using URANS
No full textThe flow past a sphere located at the free-surface, was studied over the critical Reynolds number range: 2x10^5 to 4x10^5. Experiments were carried out in the Lamont tank at the University of Southampton. Due to the inclusion of a free-surface, the solver interFoam (version OF-2.2.0) was used to simulate the flow past the sphere with a Courant number of 1.2 to allow the simulations to run faster without compensating on the results’ accuracy. Maximum wave resistance occurs when the sphere is half-submerged due the maximum crosssectional area of the sphere. The wave resistance component becomes negligible at an immersion depth greater than 175%D
