Abstract: Due to a limited number and poor quality of the available core samples, sandstone analogues are required for a research project on sand production in Kazakhstan. A consistent sample preparation method is essential to achieve repeatable test results in terms of the deformational characteristics ...
Abstract The wind energy industry is growing worldwide. Recently, a number of physical and numerical modeling studies have been carried out in Europe to implement the offshore wind turbine technology, as well as the wind resource. Accordingly, the consideration of the possible environmental impacts ...
Abstract A fatigue analysis of the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) floating system of fish cage is presented. The fatigue analysis is based on the deterministic method and the finite element method combined with a hydrodynamic model. The stress of the floating collar is evaluated based on the joint ...
Abstract Artificial tidal flats are constructed using dredge soil with high silt-clay content, which is generated during the dredging of port channels and anchorages. Experimental tidal flats were constructed in the sea to investigate the positive effects of these habitats on short-necked clam populations. ...
Abstract The energy efficiency evaluation of trawlers becomes more and more relevant as the trend of the government laws follows the path of restrictions to new constructions to encourage improvement to existing vessels, often equipped with outdated technologies. The two conditions a trawler need to ...
Abstract Details of the foundation systems of two meteorological masts which are essential part of Korea's 2.5 GW off-shore wind power project, including the design and installation processes, are described. The foundation type of each mast was conceived based on costs, efficiency, and risks at the ...
Abstract The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami has been leaving a number of scientific questions related to sediment transport process. The questions are not only about the involving process during the tsunami waves propagation, but also about the recovery process of the coastal morphology as shown around ...
Abstract This study investigated the influence of a giant tsunami by the earthquake along the Nankai Trough on the benthic environment in terms of heavy-metal pollution in Osaka Bay as a pilot ocean. The high-resolution tsunami-tide and particle tracking simulations demonstrated that the marked resuspension ...
Abstract In this paper, in order to guarantee the security of crude oil transfer in Floating Productive Storage and Offloading (FPSO)’s production, the risky factors in lightering operations are analyzed from Men-Vessels- Environment-Management aspects according to its features. Risk assessment criteria ...
Abstract To quantify the detailed mechanisms that cause sedimentation at the tidal inlets and deformation of shore line in the Messolonghi-Aetoliko lagoonal system, the Litpack numerical simulation model was applied. The study focuses on the longshore sediment transport as well as the coastline evolution, ...
Abstract While the offshore pipelines are designed to withstand an extensive range of combined loads such as the internal/external pressure, axial force and bending moment, the residual strength of these structures accounting for impact induced damage is one of the most detrimental situations in limit ...
Abstract Hatchery‐reared fish are commonly stocked into freshwaters to enhance recreational angling. As these fishes are often of high trophic position and attain relatively large sizes, they potentially interact with functionally similar resident fishes and modify food‐web structure. Hatchery‐reared ...
Abstract Mangroves play an important role in carbon sequestration, but soil organic carbon ( SOC) stocks differ between marine and estuarine mangroves, suggesting differing processes and drivers of SOC accumulation. Here, we compared undegraded and degraded marine and estuarine mangroves in a regional ...
Abstract Tsunami wave attacks are becoming an increasingly common phenomenon. A huge tsunami sometimes causes severe damages for wide coastal areas, i.e. collapse of cars, ships, boats, houses and even buildings. In many cases, obstacles may be swept away by the run-up tsunami, which carries floating ...
Abstract The specific high tides threating coastal constructions and human activities have been observed in the radial sand ridges areas of the South Yellow Sea. A 2-D Tide-surge Coupled Model is established to effectively simulate the tides and storm surge in the South Yellow Sea. The cause of the ...
Abstract A new coupled circulation/oil spill model based on the DieCAST ocean circulation model and the oil spill model has been applied to the Black Sea to address the transport, fate and 3-D structure of the oil plume resulting from a representative hypothetical accidental deepwater blowout. The ...
