Date published2001
AbstractJapan Ocean Industries Association (hereafter JOIA) has been organizing the research project "Study on Ice Load Acting on Marine Structures" since the fiscal year of 1993. In this paper the studies evaluating effects of ice cover on an earthquake load which are part of the studies during FY1999 carried out by the project are briefly described. Also some results from the studies on "an earthquake under a stable ice cover condition" and the magnification of earthquake load under such condition are introduced. In addition study on the magnification of earthquake under a drifting ice cover condition is reported.

Laboratory performance analysis comparison of on-board marine cylinder oils
AuthorsNaoyuki Ohno ; Haruo Miyano ; Keishi Kuwada et al.
Date published2004
AbstractOf the lubrication oils used on board cylinder oil for a low-speed two-cycle diesel engine must endure the most severe conditions. Since cylinder oil is commonly used for the propulsion engine quality and performance of the cylinder oil have a great and direct effect on the safe operation of a vessel. Meanwhile ship owners are interested in reducing the consumption of cylinder oil. Laboratory tests on nine brands of cylinder oil from different companies which are currently used on vessels were carried out to evaluate the performance of the oils. Tests and analysis on heat-resistant characteristics such as oxidisation stability tests panel-cooking tests evaporation tests and TG-DSC (thermogravimetric -differential scanning calorimeter) analysis were carried out in addition to general analysis (of density kinematic

Marine Accident Investigation Branch MAIB Report of the investigation into the power failure on Canberra off the Isle of Wight on 7 December 1994
AuthorsMAIB
PublisherDepartment of Transport (DOT)
AbstractOn 7 December 1994 the passenger vessel Canberra with 1495 passengers and 931 crew on board suffered a loss of propulsive and main electrical power seven miles south east of the Isle of Wight UK. The loss of steam pressure was due to a failure in the fuel oil supply which was due to inadequate procedures and supervision. The investigation found some weaknesses within the bridge watchkeeping team during the period prior to anchoring the vessel.

On the critical significant wave height for capsizing of a damaged ro-ro passenger ship
AuthorsT Haraguchi ; S Ishida ; S Murashige
PublisherElsevier
AbstractSince the Estonia accident studies have been carried out on the stability of damaged ro-ro passenger ships in waves. Since the phenomena are complicated and affected by many factors studies need to be carried out in various conditions. Here experiments are carried out in beam waves and concentrate particularly on Japanese ships and Japanese waters. Discussions are mainly focused on the relation between the height of water on deck and the critical significant wave height for capsize and on the effect of the peak period of wave spectrum.

Plankton community behaviour on ecological and evolutionary timescales: when models confront evidence
AuthorsHans R Thierstein ; Mara Y Cortes ; Ali T Haidar
Date published2004
AbstractThe subject of global change on long and short time-scales has enjoyed high priority in international research agendas since around 1986. Efforts were subsequently extended and politically enhanced at the Earth Summit in 1992 by the proposed UN conventions on climate change and biodiversity. Both of these issues are influenced by processes acting on very short and on very long time-scales. The marine plankton record is used as an example of the progress made and the problems encountered in trying to bridge this gap. Evidence mainly from coccolithophores is discussed but the other three of the four major skeletonised marine plankton groups is discussed. Because these plankton groups occur in all major ocean basins they are prime examples for the development and testing of models of the interactions between the biosphere (organismic world) and the geosphere (inanimate or abiotic world) on short to very long time-scales.

Second-order free surface effect on cavitating 3-D hydrofoils
AuthorsSakir Bal
Date published2001
AbstractThe iterative method which is originally developed for the three-dimensional cavitating hydrofoils moving with constant speed under a free surface is extended to include the second-order free surface effect into the calculations. The iterative nonlinear method is based on Green's theorem and allows separation of the cavitating hydrofoil problem and the free surface problem. These two problems are solved separately with the effects of one on the other being accounted for in an iterative manner. The cavitating hydrofoil surface and the free surface are modeled with constant strength dipole and constant strength source panels. The second-order free surface effect is included into the calculations by the technique of small perturbation expansion both for the potential and for the wave elevation on the free surface. The source strengths on the free surface are expressed in terms of perturbation potential by applying first order (linearized) and second-order free surface conditions. No radiation condition is enforced for downstream and transverse boundaries. Second-order free surface effect on cavitation characteristics and wave elevations is discussed.

Assessment of Vortex Induced Vibrations on Deep Water Risers by Considering Fluid-Structure Interaction
AuthorsK Herfjord ; S O Drange ; T Kvamsdal
Date published1998
AbstractA methodology for computing vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) on risers is presented. It is based on computation of the flow by a CFD program structural dynamics by a non-linear structural (CSD) code and a coupling between them. The CFD computations are performed in 2D at a number of sections along the riser. The load is imposed on the riser in a strip theory manner. The coupling between the CFD planes takes place through the response of the riser. The local deformation of the riser is taken into account by the CFD program thus completing a fluid-structure interaction loop each time step. The methodology is validated by comparing results from simulations with results from model tests.

Atmospheric forcing impact in MOTHY oil drift model
AuthorsC Skandrani ; P Daniel
Date published2001
AbstractMOTHY (a numerical marine oil pollution transport model) is investigated. The impact of wind interpolation on the drift of pollutants is studied. Wind is interpolated from the atmospheric model grid to the ocean model grid. A comparison of two interpolation methods is investigated on both theoretical and numerical cases of pollution drift. One method is an interpolation on wind components the other is an interpolation on wind intensity and direction. It is concluded that MOTHY is well adapted and able to predict real drift of slick. However in studying its accuracy in relation to atmospheric forcing it is shown that the choice of wind interpolation type could affect the drift. Bilinear interpolation on wind density and direction is shown to be better than interpolation on wind components.
