The energy transfer is greater near the cylinder than far from the cylinder and proportional to the proportionality coefficient A of the linear equation of velocity distribution.

Masuda, Hiroki Udagawa","doi":"10.1115/omae2020-19026","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1115/omae2020-19026","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000 The Great East Japan Earthquake that occurred in Japan in 2011, an innumerable number of buildings in the coastal part of the east side of Japan suffered catastrophic damage, and medical facilities in coastal areas have become dysfunctional because of the significant damage incurred due to the tsunami. And land routes are not passable, but there are records of support activities utilizing water areas such as sea and river networks being extremely effective in such disaster conditions. Therefore, as one of the effective methods of medical support in the affected area immediately after the disaster, a Floating Medical Support System (hereafter Medi-float) on big disaster that can be accessed from the water area was proposed. In the near future, the area along the Arakawa River is expected to be seriously damaged by the earthquake directly under the Tokyo metropolitan area. Therefore, by installing a Medi-float that can perform medical support activities from the water area to the land without being damaged by an earthquake, since Medi-float performs medical support activities in cooperation with medical facilities on land area, preventable death is reduced. In previous studies, a procedure to estimate the facilities scale and select a suitable site for Medi-float practically based on GIS data such as the number of collapsed buildings in the target area, distribution of injured people due to the earthquake were presented. However, even if Medi-float is installed in the target area, it cannot be denied that there is a shortage of medical facilities. In consideration of smooth transportation outside the region and cooperation with surrounding medical facilities, it is hoped that a concrete and realistic medical support system by Medi-float will be established. Therefore, in this study, in order to grasp the time it takes for the injured to be transported to the medical facility and the congestion status of the medical facility, the target area was divided into 250m meshes and a time-series simulation was performed. Specifically, the distribution of injured people during a disaster was calculated on a mesh basis from the number of buildings collapsed and the number of fires. And the transport time of the injured people is calculated from the distance between each mesh and the medical facility, the movement of the injured people in consideration of the congestion status of the medical facility was simulated, necessity of cooperation between medical facilities and wide area transportation was clarified, the effect of Medi-float, which is active in the disaster area, was also evaluated.","PeriodicalId":269406,"journal":{"name":"Volume 5: Ocean Space Utilization","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133016583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although many studies, both experimental and numerical, are available in the literature to investigate the global responses of the fish cages under wave and current conditions, research on the coupled system including both the fish cage and the feeding system is very limited. This paper presents a numerical study on the coupled system with a floating fish cage and the feeding system. The purpose is to study the dynamic responses of the coupled system under different environmental conditions and configurations of the fish farm. A numerical model is firstly established in the numerical program OrcaFlex, comprising of a feeding barge, a gravity-based floating fish cage with mooring systems, and a feeding tube between the barge and the cage. Time-domain simulations of this coupled system are then performed under environmental conditions corresponding to 1-year and 50-year return periods for a reference site. The deformation of the fish cage, the tensions in the anchor lines and in the feeding tube are compared under various conditions. Sensitivity studies on the solidity ratio of the fish net as well as the lengths of the feeding tube are addressed, and their influences on the responses of the coupled system are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":269406,"journal":{"name":"Volume 5: Ocean Space Utilization","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131559995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, unlike ground structures, floating offshore structures must consider the effects of waves. The movement characteristics of the floating offshore structure have been reported. However, no studies have compared variations in motion response characteristics according to the scale of floating structures or buildings atop them, so it is currently difficult during the initial planning and design stages to estimate the size of superstructures that can be designed for a given marine area. Therefore, with the aim of obtaining basic data for planning floating offshore structures, in this study we developed floating structure modules (a square 36m on a side) according to their superstructure and investigated the basic motion response characteristics for each. We furthermore derived tendencies for horizontal acceleration and inclination occurring in individual modules according to design waves for Tokyo Bay.","PeriodicalId":269406,"journal":{"name":"Volume 5: Ocean Space Utilization","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128439289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In terms of numerical modeling of forces on nets, Morison or screen force model is ordinarily adopted to account for its hydrodynamics. However, these methodologies mainly rely on empirical experimental or cylindrical hydrodynamic coefficients, neglecting flow interactions between adjacent cruciforms or net bars. In this study, REEF3D open-source hydrodynamic toolbox is adopted to analyze flow around net meshes explicitly and investigate the hydrodynamics related to forces on the structure. The simulation accuracy is in good agreement with flume experiments and previous research. Flow velocity and vorticity around net bars and knots are investigated. The results demonstrate that 2 × 2 or 3 × 3 mesh cases are more reliable when studying turbulence around net meshes, flow interactions around adjacent net bars, knots should be taken into consideration. Two patterns to control Sn, one is to change the diameter of net bars and the other is to control length, have different effects on the flow around meshes. This paper presents a first step in the aim to derive a new empirical formula for Cd depending on Sn, and Re, which are more related to the physics in offshore conditions.","PeriodicalId":269406,"journal":{"name":"Volume 5: Ocean Space Utilization","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129320766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ebisuzaki","doi":"10.1115/omae2021-63104","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1115/omae2021-63104","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000 A tsunami earthquake is defined as an earthquake which induces abnormally strong tsunami waves compared with its seismic magnitude (Kanamori 1972; Kanamori and Anderson 1975; Tanioka and Seno 2001). We investigate the possibility that the surface waves (Rayleigh, Love, and tsunami waves) in tsunami earthquakes are amplified by secondly submarine landslides, induced by the liquefaction of the sea floor due to the strong vibrations of the earthquakes. As pointed by Kanamori (2004), tsunami earthquakes are significantly stronger in longer waves than 100 s and low in radiation efficiencies of seismic waves by one or two order of magnitudes. These natures are in favor of a significant contribution of landslides. The landslides can generate seismic waves with longer period with lower efficiency than the tectonic fault motions (Kanamori et al 1980; Eissler and Kanamori 1987; Hasegawa and Kanamori 1987). We further investigate the distribution of the tsunami earthquakes and found that most of their epicenters are located at the steep slopes in the landward side of the trenches or around volcanic islands, where the soft sediments layers from the landmass are nearly critical against slope failures. This distribution suggests that the secondly landslides may contribute to the tsunami earthquakes. In the present paper, we will investigate the rapture processes determined by the inversion analysis of seismic surface waves of tsunami earthquakes can be explained by massive landslides, simultaneously triggered by earthquakes in the tsunami earthquakes which took place near the trenches.","PeriodicalId":269406,"journal":{"name":"Volume 5: Ocean Space Utilization","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116718068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
