Noise characterization of a subsea tidal kite

Atmospheric noise of a breaking tidal bore.

A tidal bore is a surge of waters propagating upstream in an estuary as the tidal flow turns to rising and the flood tide propagates into a funnel-shaped system. Large tidal bores have a marked breaking roller. The sounds generated by breaking tidal bores were herein investigated in the field (Qiantang River) and in laboratory. The sound pressure record showed two dominant periods, with some si...

Dynamic study of a subsea processing system

This paper describes the simulation setup applied in an introductory study in connection with implementation of subsea processing equipment at an already operating gas and oil field. The primary aim of the subsea processing equipment is to increase the oil recovery, but it is also considered as an important technological step forward. A subsea separation and boosting station is planned installe...

Let's Go Fly a Kite.

A Spatial Characterization of the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy Tidal Tails

We measure the spatial density of F turnoff stars in the Sagittarius dwarf tidal stream, from Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) data, using statistical photometric parallax. We find a set of continuous, consistent parameters that describe the leading Sgr stream’s position, direction, and width for 15 stripes in the North Galactic Cap, and 3 stripes in the South Galactic Cap. We produce a catalog ...

‘You’re a kite dancing in a hurricane,

What would it mean to describe James Bond as a man in his element? As an expression in English, being “in one’s element” usually refers to someone or something well suited to what they are doing. The term often conveys, when a human actor is involved, a sense of comfort, enjoyment, and even pleasure. Conversely, when we note that someone or something is “out of their element”, we highlight othe...
