The presence of a semi-permanent upwelling cell, with a surface expression more than 40 % of the time has previously been described inshore of the Agulhas Current in the vicinity of Port Alfred, South Africa. This study employs a combination of in-situ mooring data, hydrographic cruises and satellite remote sensing in order to investigate the nature and variability of this upwelling cell, as well as to investigate possible driving mechanisms. The study takes place over a period of 11 months. Spe...

Tintinnids are among the largest and most abundant of the marine cillate microzooplankton but there is very little published information on their feeding rates and abilities. The feeding of Tintinnopsis subacuta (and to a lesser extent, that of 12 other species) was investigated with three methods 1) direct observation 2) counts of accumulated food cells and 3) Coulter Counts of the particles in the experimental medium. There was reasonable qualitative agreement between the results obtained by ...

Three surface seawater samples were taken from the near shore region off Tanshui river mouth north of Taiwan. The initial concentration of the three samples were ranged between 8.5 and 10.0 mM. Samples were poisoned by adding 40, 105 and 210 mg mL-1 of mercuric chloride, respectively and stored in room tempera...

Cette thèse présente un framework d’optimisation pour la conception hydrodynamique de forme d’hydrofoils. L’optimisation d’hydrofoil par simulation implique des objectifs d’optimisation divergents et impose des compromis contraignants en raison du coût des simulations numériques et des budgets limités généralement alloués à la conception des navires. Le framework fait appel à l’échantillonnage séquentiel et aux modèles de substitution. Un modèle prédictif est construit en utilisant la Régression...

Multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) refers to the process of designing systems characterized by the interaction of multiple interconnected disciplines. High-fidelity MDO usually requires large computational resources due to the computational cost of achieving multidisciplinary consistent solutions by coupling high-fidelity physics-based solvers. Gradient-based minimization algorithms are generally applied to find local minima, due to their efficiency in solving problems with a large numb...

Geometric modification as the most effective passive flow control method has recently received wide attention due to its enormous potential in enhancing performance characteristics of airfoils or hydrofoils without expensive manufacturing and maintenance cost. Two primary passive flow control modifications, known as leading-edge tubercles and internal slots and their applications in airfoils/hydrofoils have been investigated in this dissertation. For the hydrofoil, since free surface effects can...

Abstract In this thesis work, a model to simulate motion of hydrofoil equipped craft has been developed. The thesis work only analyzed hydrofoils of V-foil configuration. The model operates in the time domain and gives the user results such as trajectory, speed and stability. When simulating a craft equipped with hydrofoils, there are several things to consider. Accuracy of the simulation, purpose of the simulation, and in what format the results will be delivered to the user. The thesis discuss...

Thesis (MScEng (Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering))--University of Stellenbosch, 2007. / The successful use of hydrofoil systems on catamarans, such as the Hysucat, led to the development of a similar foil system for a high speed trimaran. Firstly a mathematical model was developed to calculate the equilibrium planing conditions of a planing trimaran. This was then used in the hydrodynamic design of a fully planing trimaran with a design speed of 65 kn. The mathematical model was then m...

Unlike conventional propellers, flapping wings may generate large amplitude oscillating forces, which can make them difficult to incorporate into a craft design. This is particularly true for a single, vertically oscillating hydrofoil, as part of a surface water craft where the cyclic lift of the hydrofoil disrupts the craft stability. This thesis begins by reviewing the history of human-powered watercraft with a focus on those having flapping foil propellers. This review combined with a review ...
