Drag coefficients of vibrating synthetic rope
The drag, amplitude, frequency tension, diameter and length of synthetic ropes vibrating because of vortex-induced forces, and net vibrating at different tensions were measured. Photographs were taken of the vortices. Drag coefficients were calculated and plotted against Reynolds Number. The …

Investigating the local circulation of the southeast Cape Basin
… Basin-wide Array (SAMBA), which included four deep sea moorings located along ~34.5°S on the 1000, 2000, 3000 and 4500m isobaths respectively. There was a distinct difference in the circulation observed at the mooring located on the shelf edge (1000m) and the moorings further offshore (2000m, …

Moored observations of shelfbreak processes at the inflow to and outflow from the Arctic Ocean
… Arctic shelfbreak current along the Beaufort Sea slope. Data from the mooring array at 152°W—approximately 150 km east of Pt. Barrow, AK—reveals that this current has two distinct states in summer depending on the water mass it transports. When advecting Alaskan Coastal Water it is …

The dynamics of geometrically compliant mooring systems
… the dynamic response of geometrically compliant moorings. The numerical program combines the box method spatial discretization with the generalized- a method for temporal integration. Compared to other schemes commonly employed for the temporal integration of the cable dynamics equations, …

The tangential drag of an axially oscillating cylinder
… of an axially oscillating cylinder is presented. Deep-sea mooring cables are oscillated sinusoidally at ocean wave amplitudes and frequencies, and experimenta1 values of the tangential (friction) drag coefficient are obtained. The experimental values of the drag coefficient are compared with …
