Aerodynamic investigations, comprising wind tunnel section model tests as well as full-scale predictions, were carried out for the cable-stayed part of the two design alternatives.
Cross-sectional admittance functions and aerodynamic derivatives have been estimated, and employed for full-scale predictions of dynamic displacements at a chosen value of the characteristic mean wind speed.
Nevertheless, the full-scale prediction of these negative effects, even though based on dedicated model scale tests represents still a challenging task.
Comparisons with previously published prediction equations showed considerable disagreement in some aspects, and suggest that using stiff, full-scale netting in past model experiments have produced significant model-to-full-scale prediction errors owing to the poor equivalence of twine bending-stiffness-to-netting-tension ratio.
Full-scale prediction of global expression profiles using established imputation methods allowed us to query the expression of nearly 3,700 genes from just 60 landmarks.
However, even when a GPS Distortion Signature is not available on-site, it is shown that multipath effects can still be removed by filtering to permit a rare comparison of the relative contributions of background and resonant responses in full scale to wind tunnel predictions.
The CLASH research project EVK3-CT-2001-00058 was funded by the EU to provide "Crest Level Assessment of coastal Structures by full scale monitoring, neural network prediction and Hazard analysis on permissible wave overtopping".
The propulsive performance prediction in full scale KVLCC2 with pre-swirl stator (PSS) was conducted by the proposed method.
In view of the uncertainties surrounding both full scale measurements and wind tunnel based predictions, these comparisons show good agreements at least at two locations.
The present study proposed a reliable and efficient propulsive performance prediction method for full scale ships with ESD׳s.
The accuracy of the estimation method for the roll damping could be a key aspect for the validity of its prediction for the full scale ship.
