Time-domain computations for floating bodies
(Elsevier, 1994)
A review of the research carried out at the University of Michigan and elsewhere on the use of time-domain panel methods to compute the hydrodynamic forces acting on floating bodies is presented. Both linear and fully ...
Nonisothermal model of glass fiber drawing stability
(Steinkopff-Verlag; Springer Science+Business Media, 1996-11)
Draw resonance is caused by a constant speed winder that leads to non-constant axial forces (Schultz, 1984). The well studied isothermal Newtonian fiber drawing predicts very modest critical draw ratios (around 20, much ...
Analysis of Overseas Vessel Transits into the Great Lakes and Resultant Distribution of Ballast Water
(University of Michigan, 1996-10-01)
The introduction of nonindigenous species into the Great Lakes has caused grave economic and ecological damages to the entire region. It is thought that a primary vector for release of threatening species arises from the ...
An Experimental Study for Slamming Flow and Green Water on Deck Final Report
(University of Michigan, 1994-08-01)
The results of an experimental investigation on large-amplitude oscillations of an axisymmetric flared body in a free surface are presented here, the goal being to generate sets of quality experimental data, e.g. time~history ...
Spectral method solution of the Stokes equations on nonstaggered grids
(Elsevier, 1991-05)
The Stokes equations are solved using spectral methods with staggered and nonstaggered grids. Numerous ways to avoid the problem of spurious pressure modes are presented, including new techniques using the pseudospectral ...

Hydrodynamic forces acting on cylinders oscillating at small amplitudes
(Elsevier, 1991-01)
The hydrodynamic forces resulting from small-amplitude harmonic oscillations of arbitrarily shaped cylinders are considered both experimentally and theoretically. The fluid is assumed to be initially at rest. The theoretical ...
A Naval Architect's Guide to Practical Economics
(University of Michigan, Department of Naval Architecture, 1991-10)
Large_amplitude Ship Motions in The Time Domain
(University of Michigan, 1991-02-01)
Chair: Robert F. Beck&&The use of time_-domain analysis for predicting ship motions is investigated. In the method, the hydrodynamic problem is solved directly in the time domain as an initial value problem starting from ...
