Journal ArticleDOI
Prediction of hydrodynamic loading on a mini TLP with free surface effects
Bassam A. Younis,Vlado P. Przulj +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an extension of a fluid-flow simulation method to capture the free surface evolution around a full-scale Tension Leg Platform (TLP) is presented, with the focus on the prediction of the resulting hydrodynamic loading on the various elements of the TLP in turbulent flow conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Computations and measurements of the global drag force on a Tension-Leg Platform
TL;DR: In this article, experimental and computational results for the global drag force on a model Tension-Leg Platform (TLP) in uniform current for various values of the Reynolds number in the subcritical regime (Re = 1 0 4 - 1. 06 × 1 0 5 ).
Journal ArticleDOI
Research on the vibration-absorptive design of the independent escape capsule
TL;DR: Discussion of motion characteristics of the capsule indicates that this vibration-absorptive design helps the ejection of the Capsule, and some design suggestions are given.

The numerical computation of turbulent flows
Brian Launder,D. B. Spalding +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of the applicability and applicability of numerical predictions of turbulent flow, and advocate that computational economy, range of applicability, and physical realism are best served by turbulence models in which the magnitudes of two turbulence quantities, the turbulence kinetic energy k and its dissipation rate ϵ, are calculated from transport equations solved simultaneously with those governing the mean flow behaviour.

Computational methods for fluid dynamics
Joel H. Ferziger,Milovan Perić +1 more
TL;DR: This text develops and applies the techniques used to solve problems in fluid mechanics on computers and describes in detail those most often used in practice, including advanced techniques in computational fluid dynamics.
Journal ArticleDOI
High Resolution Schemes Using Flux Limiters for Hyperbolic Conservation Laws
TL;DR: The technique of obtaining high resolution, second order, oscillation free (TVD), explicit scalar difference schemes, by the addition of a limited antidiffusive flux to a first order scheme is described in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of turbulence models for shear flows by a double expansion technique
TL;DR: In this article, a two-equation model and Reynolds stress transport model are developed for turbulent shear flows and tested for homogeneous shear flow and flow over a backward facing step.

Curvature‐compensated convective transport: SMART, A new boundedness‐ preserving transport algorithm
Philip H. Gaskell,A. K. C. Lau +1 more
TL;DR: A polynomial-based discretization scheme is constructed around a technique called ‘curvature compensation’; the resultant curvature-compensated convective transport approximation is essentially third-order accurate in regions of the solution domain where the concept of order is meaningful.
