Multiphysical Simulation of Ocean Engineering Systems — Modelica Ocean Engineering Library — Cosimulation for Drilling Riser Analysis
'Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) Library', 2021Co-Authors: Viswanathan SavinAbstract:The advancements in computing has made it possible to carry out integrated simulation of complex multiphysical systems, to better evaluate system performance and safety. The discipline of multiphysical simulation, though well established in many domains, is not used as extensively in the analysis of ocean Engineering systems, which even in their simplest applications, is highly multiphysical and interdisciplinary. One factor that limits the of use of multiphysical simulation techniques in the analysis of offshore systems is the lack of mutiphysics capabilities in hydrodynamics simulation software, and vice versa. This thesis presents the efforts and results in the direction of implementing such a multiphysical approach in the ocean Engineering domain, and thereby encompasses facets such as the development of Modelica component models to constitute an Ocean Engineering Library for OpenModelica, a popular open-source multiphysics software; and the formulation of a co-simulation interface between Simulation X, a commonly used commercial multiphysics software, and OrcaFlex, a popular commercial ocean Engineering software. Being an article-based thesis, the project scope is divided into parts, and each part is dealt with in an article along with the relevant theory. In the first article, preliminary results from the multiphysical simulation of a representative ocean Engineering system in OpenModelica is compared with those obtained using OrcaFlex, as an indicator of the possibilities of implementing such a multiphysical approach. A detailed description of the theory behind the development of component models to simulate regular and irregular waves, and depth-varying current is presented in the second article, while the response of non-diffracting floating objects, and mooring response based on the quasi-static approach, is presented in the third article. The third article also brings out the limitations of the quasi-static approach in the simulation of mooring forces. The fourth article describes the lumped-mass approach to simulation of mooring line dynamics, while the fifth article deals with the development of Modelica component-models for subsea cable dynamics based on the lumped-mass approach. The sixth article lays the foundation for the future development of Modelica component-models for simulating the hydrodynamics of larger objects, where wave diffraction and radiation effects are significant, by presenting a Python code for the evaluation of the frequency dependent hydrodynamic coefficients. The seventh article is concerned with the development of a co-simulation methodology for riser analysis and presents a co-simulation interface between SimulationX and OrcaFlex. The last and eighth article compares the results of a multiphysical simulation, based on the above co-simulation methodology, of a planned riser disconnect procedure with field measurements, and demonstrates the possibilities that open up. The conclusion section sums up the contributions of the present work and suggests avenues for future research in the domain

repurposing space in a science and Engineering Library considerations for a successful outcome
The Journal of Academic Librarianship, 2014Co-Authors: John H Sandy, Mangala Krishnamurthy, Vincent F ScalfaniAbstract:Abstract In response to the growth of digital collections, services, and changes in legacy operations, Rodgers Library for Science and Engineering at The University of Alabama prepared a plan to re-emphasize the “Library as place.” Changing expectations and needs of users was another catalyst for change. A major project followed to repurpose substantial space formerly used to house collections and deliver services linked to physical collections. As part of the change, the Library streamlined legacy operations and added new services such as specialized academic software and new technology. The Library was developed as a place where students can collaborate, share, and perform a wide variety of research and instructional activities using special technologies and modern facilities. Importantly, the Library was designed as a flexible environment with emphasis on mobile furnishings and technologies. To create ambience and build an inviting atmosphere, Library space was embellished with attractive art and high-demand accessories such as casual seating and cafe services. This paper reports on repurposing an area of about 13,000 ft 2 in the Rodgers Library for Science and Engineering. The project was completed in about one year. Preliminary assessment data revealed that in the year following space repurposing, Library use increased dramatically with patron visits up about 43% over the prior year.

implementing an electronic reserve system in an academic branch Library
Journal of Interlibrary Loan document Delivery & Electronic Reserve, 2008Co-Authors: Mangala KrishnamurthyAbstract:The Rodgers Science and Engineering Library which serves students, faculty and researchers in the fields of science, Engineering and nursing at the University of Alabama abandoned centralized scanning of electronic reserve materials and moved to branch Library scanning in 2003. This article is about how the Library handled the transition in terms of management issues such as planning, executing, training, supervising, monitoring quality and promoting the remote service to faculty and students.
