A spectral-element/finite-element analysis of a ship-like structure subjected to an underwater explosion

TL;DR: In this paper, an improved procedure for simulating the response of a surface ship to an underwater explosion is demonstrated by examining transient responses for a 31,000-degree-of-freedom finite-element model of ship-like structure.

On multi-scale dispersion under the influence of surface mixed layer instabilities and deep flows

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of large eddy simulations is used to assess the transport properties of multi-scale ocean flows and the authors compare scale-dependent measures of Lagrangian relative dispersion and the evolution of passive tracer releases in models containing only submesoscale mixed layer instabilities and those containing mixed-layer instabilities modified by deeper, baroclinic mesoscale disturbances.
