Seminar: Observing the ocean acoustically with the Kauai Beacon source
ORE ZoomKay (Kai) Gemba, Ph.D. Associate Professor, Department of Physics Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, CA, USA *Zoom only* Meeting ID: 963 5962 3640 Passcode: OREseminar https://hawaii.zoom.us/j/96359623640 The 75 Hz center-frequency Kauai-Beacon Source is well-situated for observing the North Pacific Ocean acoustically, and ongoing efforts enable transmissions and analysis of broadband signals for this 18-month duration time-series. Previously, we demonstrated acoustic receiving along paths to Wake Island (∼3500 km), Monterey Bay, and OOI near Oregon (∼4000 km). Travel time observations to Wake Island compare well with HYCOM reanalysis data in 2023, but the model does not capture a continuous warming trend observed
Seminar: Dynamic Behavior of Materials in Extreme Conditions
Holmes Hall 243 2540 Dole Street, HonoluluEmad Makki, Ph.D. Visiting Professor Department of Ocean and Resources Engineering, SOEST University of Hawaii at Manoa *In person and via Zoom* Zoom Meeting Link Meeting ID: 963 5962 3640 Passcode: OREseminar https://hawaii.zoom.us/j/96359623640 In recent years, the need to explore innovative methods for mitigating air blast waves has become increasingly important, not only for defense but also for a variety of industrial and transportation applications. Events involving explosive forces, such as those caused by accidents in the process industry or impact loading in transportation, can have significant consequences. Effective blast mitigation techniques are essential for enhancing safety and resilience in
The effect of water wave conditions and geometrical parameters of a fixed Oscillating Water Column Wave Energy Converter on its hydrodynamic performance
Watanabe 112 2505 Correa Rd, HonoluluDr. Ayrton Alfonso Medina Rodriguez Postdoctoral Researcher Applied Research Laboratory and Department of Ocean and Resources Engineering University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Location Information **This seminar will be held both in person (Watanabe Hall 112) and over Zoom** Meeting ID: 961 6222 2366 Passcode: OREseminar https://hawaii.zoom.us/j/96162222366 In order to achieve maximum pneumatic power in an Oscillating Water Column (OWC) device, it is crucial for the chamber to operate as close to the resonance condition as possible. This means that the frequency of the incident wave must match the resonant frequency of the converter. This resonant frequency is influenced not only
