A key component in bringing ocean wave energy converters from concept to commercialization is the building and testing of scaled prototypes to provide model validation. A one quarter scale prototype of an autonomous two body heaving point absorber was modeled, built, and tested for this work. Wave tank testing results are compared with two hydrodynamic and system models—implemented in both ANSY...

The ubiquity of location-aware devices, e.g., smartphones and GPS devices, has led to a plethora of location-based services in which huge amounts of geotagged information need to be efficiently processed by large-scale computing clusters. This demo presents AQWA, an adaptive and query-workload-aware data partitioning mechanism for processing large-scale spatial data. Unlike existing cluster-bas...

The design and the construction were carried out by installing new caissons on back or front of existing to increase structural stability caisson breakwaters. In this study, we used ANSYS AQWA program analyze wave forces acting individual according effects wave-structure interaction when additionally installed force characteristics analyzed distance among in frequency domain analysis. addition,...

Ships must have good performance and economic value. The purpose of this research is to investigate the motion characteristics trimaran fishing boats using Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations. findings are intended improve a basic basis for operation at Fishing Ground. ANSYS AQWA describes ship response simulation effectively. For wave direction angle 1350, trimaran's roll reaction 10.131d...

The unprecedented spread of location-aware devices has resulted in a plethora of location-based services in which huge amounts of spatial data need to be efficiently processed by large-scale computing clusters. Existing cluster-based systems for processing spatial data employ static data-partitioning structures that cannot adapt to data changes, and that are insensitive to the query workload. H...
