A numerical scheme of the two-dimensional shallow water equations for the dam break problem is presented. The methods are based on Godunov associated finite volume Roe’s Riemann solver. Numerical results are presented ...

The aluminium and its alloys are widely used in marine applications such as ship hull and its components due to its lightweight and corrosion resistance. The aluminium alloys require special tool and skill to weld due ...

Rising oil prices, increasing competition in the maritime industry, climate change and pollution are significantly more prevalent among the causes of the search of alternative energy other than the use of crude oil. One ...

Corrosion is chemically induced damage to a material that results in deterioration of the material and its properties. Ships, marinas, pipelines, offshore structures, desalination plants, and heat exchangers are some ...

Manoeuvring ability of Offshore Supply Vessel (OSV) is a very critical aspect. An early prediction of vessel behaviour will definitely help to improve upon the design. The regular methods available for manoeuvring prediction ...

The corrosion behaviour of AA6061 aluminium alloy in tropical seawater was investigated using weight loss measurement and electrochemical polarization technique. The electrochemical measurements showed that the presence ...

Catamaran floats on two demihulls where the cross-sections are slimmer and shallower than the single hull of an equivalent capacity so it has less weight, small draught, much more deck area for passengers and more stable. ...

The weight of a catamaran boat floats on two hulls. This allows each hull to be slimmer and shallower in cross-section than the single hull of an equivalent mono-hull, so it has less weight, small draught, less water ...

The operating cell temperatures of photovoltaic (PV) modules directly affect the performance of the PV system. Commonly two steady state approach prediction models are used to estimate the PV modules cell temperatures, ...
