It is a well-known fact that the 1989 Exxon Valdez disaster caused the escort towing of laden tankers in many coastal areas of the world to become compulsory.In order to implement a new type of escort towing, specially designed to be employed in very adverse weather conditions, considerable changes in the hull form of escort tugs had to be made to
In recent years, closed circulating water systems in heat exchangers have been developing continuously.During the high-temperature heat exchange process in summer, the external spray system can easily cause scaling and corrosion of the heat exchanger.In order to study the factors affecting the scaling and corrosion Serving Platters of the heat exch
In problems of global hydroelastic ship response in severe seas including the whipping problem, we need to know the hydrodynamic forces acting on the ship hull during almost arbitrary ship motions.In terms of ship sections, some of them can enter water but others exit from water.Computations of nonlinear free surface flows, Course a pied - Accessoi
Abstract Autonomous exploration is a critical technology to realize robotic intelligence as it allows unsupervised preparation for future tasks and facilitates flexible deployment.In this paper, a novel Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) based autonomous exploration strategy is proposed to efficiently reduce the unknown area of the workspace and pro
Despite being an important mode of transportation in the developing world, little research has been conducted to understand the factors contributing to crashes involving three wheel vehicles.This study surveyed a convenient sample of 505 professional three-wheeler drivers in Sri Lanka to explore the similarities and differences in the demographic a
