Relationship between joint roughness coefficient and fractal dimension of rock fracture surfaces
Abstract Numerous empirical equations have been proposed to estimate the joint roughness coefficient (JRC) of a rock fracture based on its fractal dimension (D). A detailed review is made on these various methods, along with a discussion about their ...

Effect of waves on the tidal energy resource at a planned tidal stream array
Abstract Wave–current interaction (WCI) processes can potentially alter tidal currents, and consequently affect the tidal stream resource at wave exposed sites. In this research, a high resolution coupled wave-tide model of a proposed tidal stream...

Full-scale unsteady RANS CFD simulations of ship behaviour and performance in head seas due to slow steaming
Abstract It is critical to be able to estimate a ship׳s response to waves, since the resulting added resistance and loss of speed may cause delays or course alterations, with consequent financial repercussions. Slow steaming has recently become a...
