    Impelementation of Numerical Method For Hydrodynamic Behavior for Salvage of a Sunken Ship

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Jelodari, Ehsan (Author) ; Abbaspour, Majid (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    One of the utmost important factors during salvage operation of drowned ships is raising velocity. Uncontrolled raise is a dynamic phenomenon which can lead to the sudden tensions, collapse in airbags or ships. Studing this issue helps the engineers which kinds of problems are more important during salvage operations. This study focus on modeling and analysis of raising movment of the ship with FLOW-3D and ABAQUS software.
    In FLOW-3D environment, hydrodynamic analysis of rising movment of drowned ship has been done. We should mention that applied forces and velocities and other parameters from the FLOW-3D output should be passed IMCA Criteria to avoid uncontrollable raise. In ABAQUS...

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Seifollahi, Ali (Author) ; Abbaspour, Majid (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Nowadays, because high global demand for energy has led to the extensive use of fossil fuels with numerous unintended consequences such as air pollution and greenhouse effect, research and development around optimization of energy infrastructure has become much more important. Consequently, many scientific approaches have been applied to replace fossil fuels with renewable natural energy resources. One of the renewable energy types that fewer papers have been published about it, is the enormous energy of Marine currents. The origin of this energy is mostly tidal effect, or ocean currents that are available in most of oceans and seas around the planet earth. The most important criteria for...

    Using sensitivity analysis and gradual evaluation of ignition delay error to produce accurate low-cost skeletal mechanisms for oxidation of hydrocarbon fuels under high-temperature conditions

    , Article Energy and Fuels ; Volume 31, Issue 10 , 2017 , Pages 11234-11252 ; 08870624 (ISSN) Shakeri, A ; Mazaheri, K ; Owliya, M ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    Three-dimensional thermo-hydrodynamic analysis of gas turbine combustion chambers is of great importance in the power generation industry to achieve higher efficiency and reduced emissions. However, it is prohibitive to use a comprehensive full-detailed mechanism in their simulation algorithms because of the huge CPU time and memory space requirements. Many reduction approaches are available in the literature to remedy this problem. Here a new approach is presented to reduce large detailed or skeletal mechanisms of oxidation of hydrocarbon fuels to a low-cost skeletal mechanism. The method involves an integrated procedure including a Sensitivity Analysis (SA) and a procedure of Gradual...

    Abstract
    Hydrodynamic analysis of semi-submersible offshore structures has been the topic of many researches performed numerically and experimentally in the past. In this paper, the effect of structure alignment and mooring lines on dynamic behaviour of semi-submersible platforms has been taken into account. The contribution of pitch and roll in heave motion of side points is also investigated. Mooring lines are connected to semi-submersible at sides and therefore total displacement of side points is related to total displacement of mooring lines and total tension as well. A three dimensional boundary element model of Amirkabir platform in Caspian Sea is implemented using boundary element method... 

    A unified computational method for simulating dynamic behavior of planing vessels

    , Article China Ocean Engineering ; Volume 23, Issue 3 , 2009 , Pages 517-528 ; 08905487 (ISSN) Seif, M. S ; Jahanbakhsh, E ; Panahi, R ; Karimi, M. H ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    High speed planing hulls have complex hydrodynamic behaviors. The trim angle and drafts are very sensitive to speed and location of the center of gravity. Therefore, motion simulation for such vessels needs a strong coupling between rigid body motions and hydrodynamic analysis. In addition, free surface should be predicted with good accuracy for each time step. In this paper, velocity and pressure fields are coupled by use of the fractional step method. On the basis of integration of the two-phase viscous flow induced stresses over the hull, acting loads (forces and moments) are calculated. With the strategy of boundary-fitted body-attached mesh and calculation of 6-DoF motions in each time...
