The Elbe river - a life line for Northen Germany: the sense of maintenance dredging on the Elbe and the future requirements for its navigational fairway
AuthorsN Marusic ; C Iwens
Date published2007
AbstractThe future deepening of the Elbe will be a groundbreaking innovation of environmental and marine engineering. This is described. First there is an historic review addressing historical development on the deepening and maintenance dredging works on the ELBE trading position of the harbour of Hamburg. Next a look is taken at the current maintenance dredging concept on the Elbe dealing with longer sailing distances and correlation to the TSHD types along with pilot tests with water injection dredgers in order to optimize hopper planning. After this consideration is given to the future for maintenance dredging on the Elbe including new relocation areas under investigation on the Elbe research programme of the Federal Institute of Hydrology (BfG) for new relocation areas and its impact on the habitat of fauna and flora. Lastly attention is given to the future deepening of the Elbe covering the licensing process and the time frame (planning) economic benefits and socio-economic impact on the Hamburg metropolitan area hydraulic engineering concepts and dredging techniques.

Hydrodynamic controls on carbonate mound development: long term in-situ seabed BOBO-lander observations and CTD casts at the SW Rockall Trough Margin and in the Gulf of Cadiz
AuthorsFuru Mienis ; Henko C de Stigter ; Gerard Duineveld et al.
Date published2007
AbstractLong-term records obtained by in situ seabed observatories and repeated CTD casts show the presence of a high energetic environment in and around two coldwater coral mound provinces at the SW RT margin and in the Gulf of Cadiz. In both areas coldwater corals are present on the mounds but the areas differ strongly in geological setting as well as in sedimentology and hydrography. Measurements of near-bed hydrodynamics as recorded with freefalling seabed observatories and water column observations show that currents in mound areas have a major influence on the presence of living coldwater corals and on the shape of carbonate mounds. While at the Southwest Rockall Trough margin a dense cover of live corals has been demonstrated only isolated living colonies and coral debris covered with mud occur on the mounds in the Gulf of Cadiz indicating that water mass properties and dynamics on the Southwest Rockall Trough are at the moment most favourable for coral growth.

Influence of the geometric imperfection on the buckling behaviour of floating platform column under axial load
AuthorsTiago P Estefen ; Daniel S Werneck ; Segen F Estefen
Date published2007
AbstractThis work focuses on the design of the new generation of semi-submersible platforms for oil and gas production offshore that is based on column square cross-sectional area. The platform column is based on an arrangement of stiffened flat panels having their ultimate strength characterised by buckling under in-plane compressive loading. Distortions induced by fabrication have considerable influence on the buckling behaviour and are discussed in order to provide design recommendations. This paper studies a segment of the column structural arrangement between robust transverse frames to analyse the failure behaviour of the stiffened panels. Previous research demonstrated the strong influence of both mode and magnitude of the geometric imperfection distribution as well as the boundary conditions. Numerical and experimental simulations for small-scale isolated panels are carried out in order to carry out a correlation study to adjust the numerical model for further use in more complex numerical simulations of the structural failure of the column arrangement. The stiffened panels are analysed to identify the buckling initiation on a particular panel and then the interaction between plates longitudinal stiffeners and the robust transverse frames during the progressive failure of the whole column.

Numerical prediction of impact-related wave loads on ships
AuthorsThomas E Schellin ; Ould El Moctar
Date published2005
AbstractWave-impact related (slamming) loads can induce high stresses and cause deformation of local structural components. The accurate assessment of such loads is essential for the design of a ship's structure. Classification society rules contain formulas for slamming loads. Generally these formulae are adequate for conventional ships as they are based on operational experience. However for many modern ships it becomes necessary to resort to direct computations of slamming loads. A satisfactory theoretical treatment of slamming has been prevented so far by the complexity of the problem. Most theories and their numerical procedures were applied on 2D bodies; however slamming is a strongly 3D non-linear phenomenon that is sensitive to the relative motion between the ship and the water surface. Slamming is characterised by highly peaked local pressures of short duration. A numerical procedure to predict impact-related wave-induced (slamming) loads on ships is presented. The procedure was applied to predict slamming loads on two ships that feature a flared bow with a pronounced bulb hull shapes typical of modern offshore supply vessels. The procedure used a chain of sea-keeping codes. First a linear Green function panel code computed ship responses in unit amplitude regular waves. Wave frequency and wave heading were systematically varied to cover all possible combinations likely to cause slamming. Regular design waves were selected on the basis of maximum magnitudes of relative normal velocity between ship critical areas and wave averaged over the critical areas. Second a non-linear strip theory sea keeping code determined ship mot100094 Numerical prediction of model podded propeller-ice interaction loads

Progress report on the use of a cruise liner as a vessel of opportunity for collecting scientific data
AuthorsJames Fahey ; Darryl Symonds ; Richard Findley et al.
Date published2002
AbstractThe Explorer of the Seas is the largest cruise liner class in operation today. She carries about 3000 passengers on weekly trips from Miami Florida to both the Eastern and the Western Caribbean and is also being used as a vessel of opportunity. This continuing relationship is expected to collect long-term time series data sets containing bi-weekly samples along the Caribbean cruise tracks. It is hoped that these data will reveal trends on shorter monthly time scales as well as on longer multi-year time scales. On board the EXPLORER there are Eco-Learning Areas for passengers as well as atmospheric and oceanographic laboratories and this makes the EXPLORER a notable departure from previous programs. In addition the installed scientific equipment is advanced and includes many meteorological and oceanographic sensors. Two RDI Ocean Surveyor Phased Array ADCP units are included in the sensor suite and were mounted in the ships hull during construction. The expectations of several of the principle parties involved in the creation of this venture are reviewed together with their opinions on the program's success to date in meeting those diverse expectations.

AbstractA test apparatus based on a medium speed four stroke cycle diesel engine was used with different combustion chambers to study the effects of chamber height and shape on engine performance (fuel consumption exhaust) in a range of injection conditions (nozzle holes injection angle); particular attention is paid to the growth and free movement of the fuel spray and its interaction with the chamber walls and its effective mixing with the combustion gas.
