This paper will introduce the Energetech wave energy conversion system and describe its main elements of structure, turbine, generator, instrumentation and control systems. The concept of a parabolic wall which focuses the wave energy onto an oscilla

The authors consider the flow in a semienclosed sea, or basin, subjected to a destabilizing surface buoyancy flux and separated from a large adjoining reservoir by a sill. A series of numerical experiments were conducted to quantify the energetics of

Laboratory experiments are used to investigate the processes governing steady convectively driven circulation in a basin that communicates with a large external reservoir over a shallow sill. The motion is maintained by a steady loss of buoyancy dist

If a sill-enclosed basin, connected to a large reservoir, is suddenly subjected to a de-stabilizing surface buoyancy flux, it will first mix vertically by turbulent convection before the resulting lateral buoyancy gradient generates a horizontal exch

The wind load effects on tension leg platforms have been recognized to be a significant environmental loading. An accurate assessment of the aerodynamic loads is, therefore, a prerequisite for the design of an economic and a reliable structure. The d

An accurate assessment of the aerodynamic loads on a tension leg platform is essential if an economic and reliable structure is to be designed. The paper describes a study in which the mean aerodynamic force and moment coefficients of a typical tensi

A frequency-domain procedure for the extreme surge response prediction of tension leg platforms (TLP) under waves and current loading is presented and evaluated. The procedure incorporates both first- and second-order viscous and potential (inviscid)

ABSTRACT A time-domain model is presented and evaluated for the prediction of the surge response of a tension leg platform (TLP) will regular and random waves, in the presence of a current. The wave force equation in the model is a modification of th
