Torpedo Anchor Installation Hydrodynamics
- A. C. Fernandes, J. B. Araujo, J. C. Almeida, R. D. Machado, Vinícius Matos
- Engineering
- 1 November 2006
The installation procedure of a torpedo anchor is the release of the torpedo from a high enough position from the sea bottom to allow the device to reach the terminal velocity. A sufficient kinetic… Expand
Hydrodynamic Aspects of the Torpedo Anchor Installation
- A. C. Fernandes, M. Santos, J. B. Araujo, J. C. Almeida, R. Diniz, Vinícius Matos
- Engineering
- 2005
The torpedo anchor is a novel kind of device to moor floating offshore structures. It has been proved in practice that this kind of anchoring may be used for both drilling and production offshore… Expand
Study of the paraffin deposit formation using the cold finger methodology for Brazilian crude oils
- Josué da S.T. dos Santos, A. C. Fernandes, M. Giulietti
- Materials Science
- 30 November 2004
Abstract Transportation of paraffinic crude in a cold environment can result in wax depositions, which are solid deposits, on the pipe wall. The formation of paraffin in the bulk of the petroleum is… Expand
VERTICAL AXIS CURRENT TURBINE (VACT) AND ITS EFFICIENCY
- A. C. Fernandes, A. Rostami, Lucas Gomes Canzian, S. M. Sefat
- Engineering
- 9 June 2013
This study examines the efficiency of a vertical axis current turbine (VACT) according to various non-dimensional mass moments of inertia. The vertical axis current turbine of drag force type with… Expand
Hydrokinetic energy harvesting by an innovative vertical axis current turbine
- A. C. Fernandes, A. Rostami
- Engineering
- 1 September 2015
This study proposes an innovative turbine that consists of a vertical flat plate, which is allowed to rotate freely about a vertical axis of symmetry and exploits the autorotation phenomenon to… Expand
Plate Shape Effect on the Performance of the Vertical Axis Auto Rotation Current Turbine (VAACT)
- A. Rostami, A. C. Fernandes
- Engineering
- 8 June 2014
The present paper explores experimentally the performance of two types of hinged plates which rotate about vertical axis when submitted to uniform current. A flat plate configuration and also a… Expand
Hydroelastic Buffeting Assessment Over a Vertically Hinged Flat Plate
- Mohammadmehdi Armandei, A. C. Fernandes, A. Rostami
- Engineering
- Experimental Techniques
- 4 April 2016
This study explores hydroelastic buffeting of a flat plate experimentally. The flat plate is hinged vertically to an elastic axis, and its only degree of freedom, therefore, is rotation in pure yaw… Expand
Strouhal number of flat and flapped plate at various angles of attack and Reynolds numbers: experimental data
- A. Rostami, M. Amini, A. C. Fernandes
- Physics
- 2019
This paper is devoted to considering the Strouhal number (St) of various geometries of a plate at different angles of attack (
$$0^{\circ }$$
–
$$90^{\circ }$$
), while the Reynolds number (
… Expand
The Influence of Vortex Formation on the Damping of FPSOs With Large Width Bilge Keels
- A. Oliveira, A. C. Fernandes, Hélio Bailly Guimarães
- Engineering
- 1 July 2012
The roll damping of a FPSO assessment is a different subject than the ship case. The fact that the FPSO is not moving changes the flow hydrodynamics in such a way that the well established… Expand
