Tension Leg Platform (TLP) is a taut-moored compliant offshore platform that deploys tethers under high initial pretension to counteract the excess buoyancy. TLPs show large amplitude responses under the encountered lateral forces, which challenges…
Deep water offshore structures have access to very powerful ocean waves by virtue of their location and site condition. Should the energy possessed by these waves be harnessed, it can be one of the popular green energy systems. Present study aims at…
An unsteady, three-dimensional flow simulation is carried out over the bare hull of the autonomous underwater vehicle currently being developed by CSIR-CMERI, Durgapur, India at various angles of attack with the help of a Finite Volume-based CFD…
Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) are identified as exceptional in terms of mechanical, electrical, magnetic and optical properties. CNT based composites are also playing a vital role in several fields of science. In this research, four bundles of CNTs with…
An unsteady 3D surface panel method has been developed to predict hydrodynamic load fluctuations on an ice class propeller induced by continuous variation of proximity to an ice block. The low order, time domain, combined doublet and source panel…
Heat transfer due to forced convection of copper water based nanofluid in the presence of buoyancy has been predicted by the Artificial Neural network (ANN) Gene Expression Programming (GEP). The present nanofluid is formed by mixing copper nano…
The objective of this paper is to analyzethe effect of constant suction and sinusoidal injection on three dimensional couette flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid through a porous medium between two infinite horizontal…
This paper is concerned with the theoretical analysis of three dimensional couette flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid between two infinite horizontal parallel porous flat plates in presence of a transverse magnetic field.…
Fracture toughness (K1C) of medium carbon steel (0.5% C) has been determined by round notched tensile specimen. Two notch diameters (5.6mm and 4.2mm) and three notch angles (α) namely 45°, 60° and 75° have been used to observe the…
An analysis has been carried out to study the effect of heat source and chemical reaction on MHD flow past a vertical plate subject to a constant motion with variable temperature and concentration. The governing equations are solved by the Laplace…
