The ecological and economic value of sandy shoals off the Louisiana coast is not well understood. During three years of comprehensive benthic sampling and environmental measurements I studied the Ship, Trinity, Tiger Shoal Complex (STTSC), which comprises changing and discrete benthic habitats including high relief sandy shoals, and muddier, mostly deeper off-shoal areas, prone to hypoxia. Benthic macrofaunal assemblages of shoals included endemic species, and shoal communities were significantl...

Due to global warming and hydrocarbon exploration in the Arctic areas, there is an increasing maritime activity in ice infested waters. Today one can with good accuracy predict if a vessel will be able to survive an encounter with ice of a given thickness, but the knowledge is not good enough to predict the increased fuel cost for ice navigation. This thesis has investigated the validity of two analytical formulations for ice resistance in Arctic areas. The formulations are based on full-scale i...

Cloud reflectivity is a function of cloud liquid water content and droplet number concentration. Since cloud droplets form around pre-existing aerosol particles, cloud droplet number concentration depends on the availability of particles that can serve as cloud condensation nuclei. Given constant liquid water amount, increased availability of cloud condensation nuclei leads to clouds with a greater droplet number concentration, greater total droplet surface area and consequently, greater reflect...

All-electric ship power systems have limited generation capacity and finite rotating inertia compared with large power systems. Moreover, all-electric ship power systems include large portions of nonlinear loads and dynamic loads relative to the total power capacity, which may significantly reduce the stability margin. Pulse loads and other high-energy weapon loads in the system draw a large amount of power intermittently, which may cause significant frequency and voltage oscillations in the sys...

This study was conducted to ascertain the impacts of bed leveling, following ship channel dredging operations, and to also investigate the hydrodynamic flow field around box bed levelers. Laboratory experiments were conducted with bed levelers operating in the laboratory using video cameras for flow visualization. Computer software and numerical codes, called FANS, were used to validate the laboratory experiments. The study was split into two major parts: laboratory experiments and hydrodynamic ...

As part of the management planning and control function, the U.S. Coast Guard's Pacific Area Commander schedules the operational missions for all High Endurance Cutters in the Pacific Area. To provide a powerful management tool to assist this scheduling process, an analytic model for this large scale problem has been developed and implemented. It contains mission requirements, restricted sequencing of missions, ships' physical limitations and crews' morale-related considerations. The modeling ap...

As part of a major defence review meant to streamline and re-prioritize the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), in 1969, the Trudeau government decommissioned Canada’s last aircraft carrier, HMCS Bonaventure. The carrier represented a major part of Maritime Command’s NATO oriented anti-submarine warfare (ASW) effort. There were three main reasons for the government’s decision. First, the carrier’s yearly cost of $20 million was too much for the government to afford. Second, several defence experts ch...

Ship tracks are regarded as the most obvious manifestations of the effect of anthropogenic aerosol particles on clouds (indirect effect). However, it is not yet fully quantified whether there are climatically relevant effects on large scales beyond the narrow ship tracks visible in selected satellite images. A combination of satellite and reanalysis data is used here to analyze regions in which major shipping lanes cut through otherwise pristine marine environments in subtropical and tropical oc...

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited / Shock trials for naval vessels are a requirement for each new class of surface ships in the U.S. Navy. With understanding the technology of underwater shock analysis and considering the rising costs of conducting actual shock tests, computer simulation of shock trials is becoming more and more attractive. Unfortunately, finite element models can be quite large and require sufficient amounts of computer memory and time to run a shock analys...

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited / This thesis research addresses the problem of mounting human entities to other non-human entities in the virtual environment. Previous human entities were exercised as individual entities in the virtual environment. Yet there are many applications (i.e. shipboard damage control, amphibious landings, helicopter vertical assaults) where human entities need to mount other vehicles within the virtual environment. The approach taken was to re-e...

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. / A surface ship subjected to an underwater explosion is exposed to shock waves over a short period of time which can vary in magnitude based on charge type, size, and location. The energy of those waves impinging upon the hull is transmitted throughout the ship's structure and vital equipment. The dynamics of the shock waves also influence the fluid surrounding the outer hull of the ship, creating an area of cavitating fluid. The combinati...
