EXPERIMENTAL DETERMINATION OF NON-LINEAR ROLL DAMPING OF AN FPSO PURE ROLL COUPLED WITH LIQUID SLOSHING IN TWO-ROW TANKS

Experimental Determination of Non-Linear Roll Damping of an FPSO Pure Roll Coupled with Liquid Sloshing in Two-Row Tanks

Wave excited roll motion poses danger for moored offshore vessels such as Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) because they cannot divert to avoid bad weather.Furthermore, slack cargo tanks are almost always present in FPSOs by design.These pose an increased risk of roll instability due to the presence of free surfaces.The most common

Formation of highly absorptive secondary brown carbon through nighttime multiphase chemistry of biomass burning emissions

Biomass burning is a major global source of both primary brown carbon (BrC) and reactive trace gases in the atmosphere and thus has a significant impact on global climate and regional atmospheric chemistry.However, a substantial gap remains in our understanding of the nighttime evolution of biomass burning emissions.Here we present prominent nightt
