ABSRACT In deepwater, Dynamic Positioning (DP) is proved to be cost-effective for the station keeping and controlling of the floating structures. This paper will show that the DP simulation and control of a floating vessel can be achieved in a numerical wave-tank. The complex interaction of the wind, waves and current forces against the vessel is modeled for the required station positioning wit...

Wave breaking on the surface of the ocean results in significant transfer of mass, momentum, heat and energy across the air-sea interface. However, understanding the physics of these phenomena remains a challenge, as both the measurement and simulation of the relevant processes are highly complex. Recent numerical studies have begun to investigate the air-water coupling during the breaking proc...

In this paper, an efficient scheme has been proposed to model, detect and classify the fault. The modeling of fault has been proposed with the fuzzy logic using membership function. Fault detection of the unprecedented changes in system reliability and find the failed component state by classifying the faults is proposed using kalman filter and hybrid neurofuzzy computing techniques respectivel...

A technology has been devised and recently deployed in highway vehicle transportation to protect vehicle fuel tanks from impact-induced fires. The technology is currently employed in the FIRE Panel product, which exhibits an improved design based upon powder panel technology used for decades to protect military aircraft from ballisticinduced fuel tank-fed fires. The device comprises a shallow s...

Insect biomass shows promise as an alternative animal feedstuff with a low climate effect. Industrial insect rearing generates residual materials, such feed remains and excrements, so-called frass, which exhibits high organic content. Commonly, these residues are utilized soil amendment. Information on the suitability of for biogas production is rather scarce. The energetic utilization frass fe...
