There are several developments concerned to simulate the behavior of floating bodies under waves in the restricted boundary conditions so called numerical wave tank. The main feature of these tanks is to calculate full Navier-Stokes equations taking account the viscosity and free surface conditions. However, the dynamic behavior of oil floating exploitation units in actual ocean environmental condition, in waves, wind and current, is more complex and very difficult to simulate using full non-linear Navier Stokes equations. In addition, in the ultra-deep water, it is the primer importance to consider the more precise mooring line and riser’s dynamics in the analysis. The present numerical simulator laboratory called Numerical Offshore Tank is a development that takes account almost all physical phenomena acting on the floating bodies and mooring and risers lines. Since full non-linear solution is not available, the several numerical, empirical and analytical models are being considered and integrated to numerical simulator. The time domain potential problem is solved to wave forces acting on the bodies and empirical models are used to simulate current and wind forces. To represent mooring & riser lines, the finite element model with more realistic hydrodynamic force models is used. Even the simulator is using the full hydrodynamic equation, the calculation time of the simulation for floating bodies with several risers & mooring lines is very high. Therefore, special cluster with 60 PC based computer was built running the code in the parallel processing. Since the preparation of all data set for numerical experiment is very tedious work, the special pre-processor PREA3D was developed for this purpose. This pre-processor allows the fast change of the environmental and system conditions to run several test conditions. Another important feature is the visualization of the results of the simulation tests. The entire 3D view of the system is presented in the Virtual Reality room with stereoscopic projection of the Numerical Tank Laboratory.
EXAFS measurements on all the cations in Nd 2 CuO 4 , Nd 2−x Ce x CuO y (NCCO) and Nd 1.82−z A z Ce 0.18 CuO y (NACCO), A=Sr, Ca or Ba, x = 0.06 or 0.18, have been made using synchrotron radiation. Bond lengths (R), coordination numbers (N) and Debye-Waller factors (σ 2 ) have been obtained from the EXAFS analysis. The curved wave theory in the single-scattering approximation and the small-atom multiple-scattering theory have been applied to experimental EXAFS data and it is found that the latter gives a better fit. The CuO 2 plane contains a strong multiple-scattering contribution. Further, all the dopants (Ce, Sr, Ca and Ba) occupy the Nd site without affecting the basic T structure. Doping affects the local structure around the substituents as reflected by the changes in R and σ 2 values. The observed CuO 2 layer distortion (or large Cu-O-Cu angle deviation from linearity, 180 • ) is found to have an adverse effect on T c as observed in Ca or Ba doped NACCO samples.Further, it is realized that critical levels of charge carriers, oxygen vacancies and CuO 2 planar effects have a strong influence on the SC behaviour of the T -type electron doped cuprates.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
