The impact of Port of Koper on Slovenia
AuthorsElen Twrdy
Date published2001
AbstractDuring the last ten years severe political economic and social changes have taken place in Slovenia. This has affected the development of international transport and logistics. The present situation is described in the light of this. The Port of Koper is introduced. This is the only port operating in Slovenia. The impact of this port on Slovenia's economy is examined together with its competitiveness in the international movement of goods. The impact of globalisation on transport and logistics is considered followed by the new role of ports and transport routes in Slovenia. Conclusions are drawn.

The influence of liquid cargo dynamics on ship stability
AuthorsN N Rakhmanin ; S G Zhivitsa
PublisherElsevier
AbstractAn analysis of the heeling moment caused by a liquid cargo sloshing in conditions of regular forced angular oscillations of a compartment is presented. This shows the liquid-free surface dynamics influence on the stability of a ship performing steady motions in a seaway. Results which were already known concerning the dynamics of a ship with liquid on board were used.

The influence of oxygen-helium mixture properties on the human heat loss in the hyperbaric environment
AuthorsA Majchrzycka
Date published2003
AbstractThe properties of gas mixture have a large effect on thermal exchange from the human body and finally on the comfort temperature in the hyperbaric environment. Equations describing density viscosity specific heat capacity thermal conductivity of real gas mixture as the function of helium contents temperature and the total gas pressure are derived. After some introductory information attention is given to thermal comfort in the hyperbaric environment. Next the comfort equation is outlined. This is followed by consideration of the thermal properties of helium-oxygen mixture. Lastly the results are given.

The inhibitive effect of traces of SO2 on the oxidation of iron chromium and Fe-2.25Cr-1Mo steel
AuthorsA Jardnas ; J-E Svensson ; H Asteman et al.
Date published2003
AbstractIn order to throw more light on the influence of SO2 on the oxidation in the Fe-Cr system it is investigated whether the oxidation of pure iron and pure chromium is inhibited by traces of SO2. By investigating the influence of SO2 concentration at constant temperature the validity of the notion that surface sulphate is necessary for the effect to occur is tested. Experiments are described and results presented and discussed.

The performance of a surface station on an Antarctic ice shelf
AuthorsA P Bateman ; T K S Murthy ; P A Wilson et al.
PublisherComputational Mechanics Publications
AbstractHalley 5 is a scientific station on the Brunt Ice Shelf Antarctica which has been operational since 1990. Its design is described incorporating wooden single-storey three main buildings supported on raised and jackable steel platforms. Snow accumulation around Halley since construction started in January 1989 is examined and column movement is considered. Possible causes of the deformation of the platforms are discussed.

Vibrations and waterborne noise on fishery vessels
AuthorsW Ojak
Date published2006
AbstractIn the design of fishery vessels low vibrations and noise levels are highly desirable goals - quieter ships can improve catch capability. Vibration and noise levels on two fishery research vessels are compared. Firstly mechanical vibrations of the elastically supported propeller are addressed and conditions for minimum vibration response are determined. Secondly structural vibrations in the ships and noise propagation from the ships to the water are described. Finally data on structural vibrations and waterborne noise propagation are considered. Conclusions are drawn.

Viscous drift forces on a semi-submersible type mega-float comprised of circular cylinders
AuthorsShunji Sunahara
Date published2004
AbstractAn estimation of the wave drift forces acting on a semi-submersible type Mega-float supported by many columns is very important in order to design its mooring system. In this study concerning wave drift force acting on a train of multiple cylinders extensive experiments with a semi-submersible model comprising of sixteen cylinders were carried out in order to investigate whether significant wave drift forces are actually acting for long wave periods. In addition the applicability of the viscous drift force theory to the forces was investigated.

A maritime passenger demand analysis on short sea HMSV route by RP approach
AuthorsMauro Catalani
Date published2002
AbstractThe maritime passenger transport demand between fast-slow ships inside short sea shipping routes between Naples and its islands is evaluated. The analysis emphasises the passenger terminal location and GIS characteristic. The pricing system adopted and the route concentration involved in the Gulf of Naples is analysed. The approach is based on prices perception for the passenger on ro-ro ferries hydrofoils and fast ferries. The behavioural choice of a passenger sample is evaluated by a RP analysis. The modelling methodology based on a multinomial logit model is described.

Effect of axial force on allowable free spans of submarine pipelines
AuthorsS Kapuria ; V Y Salpekar ; S Sengupta
PublisherInternational Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers
AbstractAnalytical solutions are presented for computing allowable static and dynamic free spans of submarine pipelines supported on elastic soil bed subjected to axial and transverse loads. The governing equations for both static and free vibration analysis yielded nonlinear algebraic equations for allowable spans. The effect of axial force on the allowable free span was investigated for different values of soil stiffness factor. The translational and rotational spring model for support was compared with the model of beam on elastic foundation.

Effect of directional spreading and spectral bandwidth on the nonlinearity of the irregular waves
AuthorsM Prevosto
PublisherInternational Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers
AbstractSimple models of wave kinematics have been studied based on the hypotheses of narrowband and unidirectionality. A second order directional irregular wave model was used to simulate time series of the free surface elevation. Based on a large simulated database a parametric study of the influence of the spectral width and directional spreading was carried out on several wave characteristics sensitive to nonlinearities. Three typical situations were analysed which correspond to extreme situations in long and short fetch wind sea.

Effects of seepage flows on sediment transport rates
AuthorsC O'Donnell ; B A O'Connor ; K H M Ali
Date published2002
AbstractPrevious work on the effect of seepage force through a sediment bed has shown that there is likely to be little effect upon sediment transport rates. An experimental study is described which has been carried out to examine the effects of increasing levels of seepage flow from a sand bed on bed load transport rates. Significantly this experimental study also examines the effect of sand bed failure on sediment transport rates to assess whether this phenomenon could be a contributory factor in large-scale coastal erosion such as that witnessed at Sines. The experiments are described and results and conclusions are presented.
