(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
An alternate method for the determination of aircraft carrier limiting displacement for strength
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
Propeller blade design thickness and blockage issues due to source-induced factors
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
Integrated lifting-surface and Euler/boundary-layer theory analysis method for marine propulsors
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
Stochastic prediction of mooring line fatigue and failure
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
Verification of a six-degree of freedom simulation model for the REMUS autonomous underwater vehicle
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
mproving the performance of modular, low-cost autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) in such applications as long-range oceanographic survey, autonomous docking, and shallow-water mine countermeasures requires improving the ...
Nutrient limitation dynamics of a coastal Cape Cod pond : seasonal trends in alkaline phosphatase activity
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
A bi-weekly seasonal study was conducted in Ashumet Pond (Cape Cod, Massachusetts). The Redfield Ratio (106C:16N:1P) and alkaline phosphatase activity (APA) were utilized in tandem as nutrient deficiency indicators (NDIs) ...
Performance bounds on matched-field methods for source localization and estimation of ocean environmental parameters
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
Matched-field methods concern estimation of source location and/or ocean environmental parameters by exploiting full wave modeling of acoustic waveguide propagation. Typical estimation performance demonstrates two fundamental ...
Relating behavioral context to acoustic parameters of bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) vocalizations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
This thesis presents methods to analyze the function of vocalizations of the bottlenose dolphin, Tursiops truncatus. The thesis uses the social interaction as the basic unit of analysis, and maintains a deliberate focus ...
Experimental visualization of the near-boundary hydrodynamics about fish-like swimming bodies
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
This thesis takes a look at the near boundary flow about fish-like swimming bodies. Experiments were performed up to Reynolds number 106 using laser Doppler velocimetry and particle imaging techniques. The turbulence in ...
